About Hincknowle Cider Apple Farm Camping
Tucked into a fold of the West Dorset countryside, this tiny working cider farm offers just a handful of pitches under apple trees – the sort of wild, peaceful spot where you can light a campfire and feel genuinely remote. There's a rustic bar serving the farm's own cider and local ales, plus simple food, and the welcome is genuinely warm. Facilities are basic but well-maintained: showers, loos, washing-up area, and a communal fridge. Dogs roam freely, wildlife abounds, and the coast at Bridport is only a short drive.
It's not for everyone – this is proper back-to-basics camping, and some might find the lack of polish or electric hook-ups a drawback. But if you're after a low-key, atmospheric base for walkers, wild swimmers or anyone craving a slice of rural Dorset away from larger, busier sites, Hincknowle delivers something genuinely special.

What visitors say
We've just got back from a 6 night stay at this little gem of a campsite. It's a little slice of heaven! With only 9 HUGE pitches, you feel like you are the only people around. Surrounded by birdsong and sheep the tranquility is unsurpassed! This site really does soothe your soul. The facilities are spotless and cleaned several times a day. Hot water is plentiful, with two toilets and showers available. There is also a well equipped kitchen if required, with converted barn games/relaxation area if the weather isn't great. The owners are helpful and friendly and readily available. They offer a pizza night a couple of times a week with music and cider. Loved everything about this site.

Thank you so much ❤️ One hands down one of the nicest campsites I have ever stayed on. Beautiful doesn't quite cut it! Hidden in rolling hills is a wonderful paradise. The hosts are wonderful, the site is superbly set up with epic showers and site facilities whilst still maintaining a natural and calm vibe the barn is amazingly set out. Peace, beauty and wildlife abundant, on this stunning farm is 1000% worth a visit. The farm produce available is the highest quality and especially recommended and more woodlands and areas to explore during your stay. All whilst being dog friendly, I should imagine families, groups of friends, solo campers and campers of any sort would all have a fantastic time.

Fabulous campsite on a working farm deep in Dorset’s beautiful countryside. Sited to make exploring the Dorset coast easy, with spotless, really well maintained facilities, including a great communal kitchen, fairy-light lit barn and a great loo-and-shower area. Well spread out individual pitches have fantastic views with fire pits and wood to burn if desired. We had an absolute hoot. Thank you so much.

This is hands down one of the nicest campsites I have ever been lucky enough to stay at. Highly recommended would be an understatement, in fact I feel like keeping this place a secret! Hidden in rolling hills is a wonderful paradise of a working farm. The hosts are wonderful, the site is superbly set up with epic showers and site facilities whilst still maintaining a natural and calm vibe. Peace, beauty and wildlife abundant. Beautiful farm produce available and more woodlands and areas to explore that even the most avid camper could cover in a weekend. All whilst being dog friendly 10/10 I would give it more if I could!
