Offering a picturesque and serene outdoor setting for holidays, Martleaves Farm is a beautifully appointed, adult-only campsite located on the Dorset coast between Weymouth and Portland. Set within the mesmerizing Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, this campsite spans 34 acres of breathtaking countryside.
Designated as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI), Martleaves is a haven for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers alike. With its proximity to Chesil Beach and the charming seaside town of Weymouth, as well as the historic site of the 2012 Olympics in Portland, this site provides a unique blend of rural charm and coastal beauty.
One of the standout features of Martleaves Farm Campsite is its welcoming attitude toward various types of campers. Whether you arrive with a touring caravan, motorhome, campervan, or traditional tent, the campsite caters to all, offering short breaks throughout the entire year. The campsite's commitment to inclusivity is further exemplified by its provision for paddleboarding and kayaking in the nearby Fleet Lagoon, allowing campers to bring and use their own equipment for a delightful aquatic experience just 300 meters from the farm.
The diverse array of animals on the farm adds an extra layer of charm to the camping experience. Alpacas, Shetland ponies, horses, pet pigs, free-range chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep contribute to the farm's lively atmosphere. To ensure the safety and harmony of the animals, dogs are required to be kept on leads until away from the farm. Fortunately, there's a convenient footpath leading down to the sea, where dogs can be let off their leads, allowing both campers and their furry companions to enjoy the natural surroundings.
The campsite's facilities are thoughtfully designed to enhance the overall camping experience. Three centrally heated shower and toilet blocks, along with a purple wet room, ensure that campers have access to clean and comfortable amenities. The daily cleaning and replenishing of showers and toilets reflect the campsite's commitment to maintaining high standards of hygiene. For those needing to attend to practical matters, a well-equipped laundry room with a fridge freezer and indoor and outdoor sinks is available. Additionally, a hose on the farmyard facilitates the cleaning of muddy dogs and boots, demonstrating the campsite's attention to detail and camper convenience.
Martleaves Farm goes beyond the typical camping experience by offering farm-fresh products for sale in the farmhouse porch. Campers can indulge in free-range rare breed chicken, bantam, duck, and goose eggs (when available), providing a taste of the local agricultural offerings. The campsite also sells local Dorset Honey and a range of toiletries for campers who may have forgotten essentials, showcasing a commitment to ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay for all.

We always have a fabulous time when staying at this site. Great site, location, services etc
This is a farm campsite views from the campsite are great the shower block.is kept clean but the showers are luke warm to cold side says push button fee times before u get in as can take time warm up it doesn't warm up !!!
Lovely campsite with horses and alpacas on site. Incredible views across chesil beach and portland. Take the coastal footpath and explore.
Good pitches in a great location, friendly helpful staff, nice and clean facilities; with lovely views of Fleet lagoon, and grazing alpacas and horses.
We spent three nights here and loved every minute of it the views were amazing, location was good you could do a coastal walk into Weymouth town, also a five minute walk to the bus stop if you didn’t fancy the walk, the campsite was very clean and tidy, and very peaceful we will definitely be returning
Thank you- the maintenance guy in the mornings was so friendly and welcoming
Been here quite a few times, always enjoyed our stay, toilets and showers clean, views are stunning, horses and alpacas on site a delight to watch, local shops, pub, bus stop 5 minute walk away, the only problem we had this time was the area around our pitch to erect awning was strewn with dog waste, could not find member of staff so had to clear it away our self, smell and flies was a bother other motorhome owners emptying their waste water tanks on the pitches they were in rather than the grid provided so water seeped onto our pitch, smell of stagnant water, and makes pitches uneven, the walk down to the sea was strewn with dog waste, owners not clearing there dog mess, or poo bags just left by side of fence, we have always enjoyed our stays at maltleaves in the past but was disappointed this time, parts of the site look like a scrap yard now, pitches not very well maintained,
We have stayed at Martleaves twice and would happily return again. We use Martleaves as it is an adult only campsite, it is quiet and friendly. We have a dog with us and just chill out reading and relaxing. We don’t venture out much except for paddle boarding when the wind is in the right direction. However, there are a few takeaways very near by if you don’t want to go far.The one thing we find quirky about Martleaves is the lack of recycling bins, there only appears to be large bins for all general waste!Apart from the bins, this is a lovely site with great views in an amazing area of the Jurassic coast.
Thanks for that great review Peter! I'm afraid a minority of campers will not respect recycling guidelines so we've had to give up on recycling bins but pay to have recycling done by the collection company. We look forward to welcoming you here again. Best wishes Jane
The campsite is very average, not very appealing on the eye. I know it is a farm but it looked a bit like a junkyard. On a positive the toilets and showers were clean, although the showers only stay on for about a minute and were cold most days.
We stayed during a very hot period and had enough shade when on site. Everything worked such as electric hook up, toilets and showers. Washing up area adequate. Lovely to have the alpacas in adjacent field and walk to coast path no distance. Access through a housing estate which we didn’t know about but accessible using site directions. Site felt relaxed with numbered pitches although not a lot of space between units. A bit of tidying up would improve the overall appearance of the site but views were excellent overlooking Chesil Beach.
