The Dorset Hideaway is a small family-run site on farmland inland from the Jurassic Coast, close to Whitchurch Canonicorum, with Charmouth the nearest beach. Touring and camping pitches sit in a large open field, from basic grass to serviced hardstanding, and there are seasonal pitches and caravan storage too.
A separate adults-only glamping area has geodesic domes and yurts, each with a king bed, a private hot tub and a heated private shower and loo, plus a shared kitchen-diner. The Lookout Cabin is a stand-alone cabin for two with its own garden and hot tub. No pets are accepted in any glamping unit.
There are more than 50 acres to walk with no road traffic, two fishing ponds, a fenced dog exercise field, an indoor dog wash and a games barn. Hot tub hire is also available to campers.
- Hot-tub domes, yurts and a cabin for adults
- Fishing ponds and 50 acres of walks on site
- Indoor dog wash and fenced dog field
- Dark skies, star maps to hire
- Charmouth beach about 15 minutes by car
