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.

Lovely and peaceful site. Easy walk to the coastal path and Estuary. Lots of helpful information about local area and quick walk to the local pub.
Throughly enjoyed our time at Martleaves, the campsite had great views and was a very relaxing place to stay. Easy access into Weymouth on the bus or by taxi and the coast both ways from the site was lovely to explore. The showers were very clean and the site was clean and tidy, would definitely recommend.
Fantastic views, toilets and showers are very clean and warm. The lady that checked us in was very pleasant and helpful. Can not fault this site and we will be back.
Excellent views and location, staff helpful, clean facilities
The drive into the campsite involves going through residential roads which have parked cars either side making it quite narrow. The site needs all the pot holes filling in on the campsite roads. I couldn’t find a dog waste bin on site despite being charged extra for the dogs. The pitch was a nice hard standing pitch with a pic nic table. Views along the coast were very good. Shower block was clean and warm. It was nice to see lamas grazing in the field at the side of our pitch. We stayed as we have spent the day in Weymouth and decided to stay a bit longer. We thought it was a bit expensive for early March.
First of all directions given by you were very hard to follow...thought it was quite difficult to get to....on arrival very disappointed with the whole appearance of the site (especially for the price) i know it's a working farm which I love to see but the ground was very boggy and full of puddles which meant you had to walk through that to get down to showers and toilets which was right at the entrance a good walk from our van in the field...if that was all Tarmacked and drainage sorted it would look 100% better...the best thing was the view from van and walk down to the water for the dogs they loved it and the water was crystal clear be stunning in summer...about 15 min walk to shop and bus stop which takes you into weymouth cost us about £3 each but had taxi back £4 each. Can't comment on owners didn't see anyone only when found house to go to show our booking reference after we took ourselves to pitch and set up..
Great views and location. Clean facilities but basic. Would be queues for showers when site full. Very expensive compared to other comparable sites at beginning of season and at this point not necessarily value for money but only site in area open this early in march. Basic motorhome services point. Good internet coverage. Hard standing pitches big and well drained. Would need chocks on the slope side.Warm welcome, great staff. Would possibly stay again if in region especially for views, sunsets and alpacas . Easy access to coastal path. Helpful website and pitch map. Simple online booking. Easy access by bike to Portland, Rodwell trail and town centre.
Had a lovely stay even though the February weather was damp and freezing cold. Fantastic views across Chesil Beach and Portland.Regular bus service into Weymouth or Portland from the main road a few minutes walk away. Fairly basic site but it covered all the necessities, 24hr loo access, hot showers, washing-up sinks and chemical disposal. Would love to stay again when it's warm and sunny :)
Great little site, maybe not everyone's cup of tea due to being on a working stables, but great location, great views, hot showers and over 18 only - the alpacas are charming. Walking distance to Weymouth and Portland. The crab cafe and fat badger are also walking distance and highly recommended. The sunsets over the fleet lagoon and chesil beach .... stunning !!!
