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.

I stayed for two nights whilst walking the SWCP. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was a good atmosphere within the campsite. The views from my pitch were excellent, particularly towards Portland. Local bus routes were very good and local shops were within a few minutes walk.All of the facilities were in good working order, albeit a little tired.All in all I enjoyed my stay and will be booking in again later in the year.
Only issue and its minor is the length of the grass in the camping field and also there is a public footpath that runs next to it so I got woken early by shouting dog owners .
My partner and I arrived in our motorhome, joining friends who were also staying there. The provided location instructions were helpful and accurate. The site was lovely. Clean and practical toilets and showers. Water, Elsan point and grey waste disposal were conveniently located and the Electric Hookup was easy.It was also great to have free WiFi that actually worked!!There were several other groups on site and all were quiet and respectful.The view over the sea was lovely as the weather was perfect.The presence of the Alpacas, Ponies and Donkeys was a bonus.The coastal path also passes the farm and we followed it down to the lagoon where you are sheltered of you wanted to kayak or paddle board.Access to Weymouth is easy as there is a bus about 300m from the Farm.We really enjoyed our stay and will return.Regards Jim & Wendy
Fantastic views, adult only (brilliant). The only reason I dropped 1 star is the amount of times you have to press the button to keep the shower going. I am all for save the planet and sustainability but 20 seconds is a bit short.
Beautiful location overlooking Chesil Beach & The Fleet to Portland. Lovely to be surrounded by llamas, donkeys & horses & great footpath linking to the coastal path. Women’s showers were nice & hot but men’s were not. Some plots sloping so we changed ours when we arrived.
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights during the Easter holidays.We took our dog as well.The site was quiet, so plenty of room, pitch was level, clean, well maintained.There are not many water points so it was a plod across the field to get water and empty the gray tank.The views are amazing, you can see into Weymouth bay, across to Portland and along the chesil bank. We were blessed with excellent weather so it was a great few days.The walk along the coast path is very close and easy going.The Alpacas, horses, donkeys and chickens add a bit of something different to the site Showers were clean, warm and well maintained.If anything, the site is a little pricey compared to others but you don't get that view.
Toilets and showers spotless.Campsite very clean. Spacious. Electrical hook up available.
Although it was a bit windy, the views were outstanding. Everyone I met was very friendly. Lovely walk to Weymouth.
This is not a manicured holiday Park, what it is, is a friendly campsite on a working farm, with horses, ponies and alpacas, in a peaceful location with spectacular views The pitches are level (with plenty of hard stands) and are well spread out. The toilet and shower block, whilst possibly a little dated, is warm, spotless and roomy. There is a Tesco Express, a chinese takeaway, pizza and a pub, all within a 5-10 minute walk, as is the bus into Weymouth. You can also walk into Weymouth, around 40-45 minutes minutes by road, or, we took the long way around via the Rodwell Trail, stopping off at the delightful Sandsfoot Gardens and Castle for a coffee (the other half) and an ice cream! (me). Having read some of the previous reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect (and I am also perfectly happy to stay on a manicured campsite, I'm not a 'proper camping' sort of gal) but I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely stay again, when in the area.
Very quiet site good facilities clean nice and friendly staff not to far to bus stops to Portland or Weymouth all in all a very nice site.
