Who's In

Glamping and camping. Families, couples, quiet groups – yes. Stag and hen parties – no.

Facilities

The Bell tents are laid out over a 7-acre field with both toilets and showers within a short walk. There is a field barn equipped with a freezer, fridge, kettle, toaster, cups, plates, cutlery, tea, coffee, etc as well as each bell tent being supplied with its own fire pit. Wood can be purchased on site. Also on the farm is the Pig Shed; a chill out area with wifi, TV, juke box, games, table tennis, tables and chairs and lounging area. Plenty of space on site for flying kites and kicking a ball around. In the morning, children are invited to help Farmer Tom feed the various animals and collect eggs from the farms chooks. Guests have access to the onsite showers and toilets, a field kitchen, communal eating areas and 'The Pig Barn' where there is WiFi and hot food served in the evening. A breakfast bacon and egg roll, fresh coffee and fruit juice is also included. 

Nearby

The campsite is a stone's throw from Dorchester town centre, offering independent shops, eateries, 2 cinemas, parks and a slew of eclectic museums. With cycle paths to Dorchester as well as a bus stop at the end of the farm drive, accessibility is not a problem. Dewflock is also 8 minutes' drive from Weymouth and the coast. Enjoy the beach or get up close to seals, seahorses and starfish at The Sea Life Centre (01202 666900). Based at Dewflock Farm, Dorset Activities (0118 334 1807) offers guests a chance to experience 4x4 driving on a specially designed track on the farm. Get behind the wheel and experience the fun, exhilaration and adventure of 4x4 driving. A challenging course will test your new driving skills as you tackle steep climbs, drops side slopes and gullies at our purpose built site. This 4x4 off road driving can be enjoyed by adults and junior drivers. For more Junior (from 12 years) Dorset Activities offer you a chance to glide around a course on clever, self balancing technology. Brilliant as a group activity. 

Food & Drink

The farm produces its own meat so campers can purchase pork, beef and lamb products direct from their shop. Evening meals are available and on occasion, the farmer puts on a pig or lamb roast for the campers to devour with a pint of locally produced beer. There are numerous pubs and restaurants in and around Dorchester. If you want to really treat yourself there's even a Michelin-starred spot in the centre of town – Sienna (01305 250022).
