About Hardyes Countryside Camping
Tucked into the Dorset countryside near Dorchester, Hardyes Countryside Camping keeps things refreshingly simple – well-maintained grass pitches, spotless shower blocks, and a genuinely peaceful setting away from main roads. Friendly, knowledgeable owners set the tone, and there's a nice touch in the morning: pre-order fresh sourdough bread and pastries for breakfast, delivered to your pitch. Dogs are welcome, and electric hook-up is available on seven of the 37 pitches.
It's a straightforward, no-frills site – there's no Wi-Fi and no chemical waste disposal point – but if you're after a quiet base for exploring Hardy country and the Jurassic Coast, this ticks the boxes without fuss.

Chris and the team are absolutely great and they take so much pride and care of the site. The showers are maintained throughout the day and are basically spotless. You can also order freshly baked pastries for morning breakfast in the morning which is a great treat!! Great views and approx 20-30min drive from all the major areas. We will definately be coming back here

Fantastic site. Lovely friendly owner who is a font of knowledge on all things on the area. Some might consider the facilities basic, but has everything needed. The fresh bread and croissants etc in the morning are a brilliant idea. We will return.

Farm camping at its best! Good amenities, nice big cubicles! Not too crowded even when full, fresh sour dough bread and other goodies available on order, sour loaf is exceptional! The owner, Chris is amazing and we'll definitely be going back there! Kids loves the family atmosphere and there is a lot of room to run around! Pitches are big and well maintained! Well located and has easy access!
