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.

Fantastic views, amazing sunsets & beautiful horses and ponies

Smith, Andrew - 10/09/2026

First impressions. Not at all easy to find, if coming from south - Weymouth direction. Directions provided appear to assume you will be coming from the west. Second impressions. A surprising location - so close to housing.Rather an untidy site - more like a farm than a campsite and, after all it is called "Farm and campsite". It wasn't a great problem for us though and obviously the presence of livestock means surroundings can't be immaculate! A relaxed and friendly feel to the place. Our pitch faced the lagoon, Chesil Beach and the sea: no problems there!Facilities were clearly regularly checked and almost always we found them to be clean. Signage confused me a bit. One set of Men's loos were very close to washing up area. If washing up in progress, probably best to use first set!Overall, a positive few days spent at Martleaves Farm and definitely preferable to the serried rows of statics/lodges which seem to be taking over every coastal location! Value? About average

Awesome views and sunsets

Davis, Heather - 08/09/2026

The view really made it for us. Location is great as it’s away from hustle & bustle of Weymouth but easily accessible, bus stop 5 minute walk. Close to cliff path & access to lagoon beach we also walked over to Portland & got the open top bus back. Walked to Fat Badger pub on hillside too. Site is clean & well kept with ponies & alpacas on site. Facilities are fine, typical for a farm campsite. Bit strange that you there is a notice saying reception open at 10am (campers get up at 6am)!

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
