About New Court Farm Camping

Wild camping is all about being off grid, and New Court Farm Camping certainly delivers – a four-acre field near Dorchester within the Dorset National Landscape where you choose your own pitch and drink in spectacular views of woodlands, patchwork fields and rolling hills. It's suitably simple in style: unisex portable toilets, a standpipe for running water, and a basic wooden shower shack. The rewards for this back-to-basics approach are many, not least the freedom to light campfires and barbecues under big Dorset skies.

Being on a working livestock farm, you'll soon be firm friends with calves and sheep in neighbouring meadows (keep dogs under close control). From here, potter along winding lanes to historic Dorchester, where Wednesday and Sunday morning gourmet markets supply barbecue goodies, or simply head to one of several decent pubs within a 15-minute drive. Get there early to bag the best views – this is wild camping as it should be.

What visitors say

Laura “Lauranorah” Rowlands

Beautiful quiet field with large pitches. Very clean portaloo loos and a brilliant gas-fired shower cubicle.
