About Snooks Farm Alpacas

Tucked into the Dorset countryside just three miles from Ferndown, Snooks Farm Alpacas offers a genuinely charming stay on a working alpaca farm – complete with free-range sheep, roaming goats, and fresh duck and chicken eggs for sale. The site itself is tiny (just a handful of pitches) and wonderfully peaceful, a two-minute walk from the River Stour and a proper wildlife haven for families who appreciate a slower pace.

Location-wise, you're brilliantly placed: Bournemouth's beaches and the New Forest's sweeping views are both within 20 minutes, while West Parley's shops and pubs are only five minutes on foot. There's even a skiing centre nearby and Bournemouth Airport close by, making this a handy pre-flight stopover or base for the summer airshow. The site welcomes barbecues and has a solid 4.9 Google rating, though note that dogs aren't permitted – so it's one for non-pet travellers only.

What visitors say

Let's see where life takes me.

We really love this Alpaca farm, it was our second time ... Theres a few different animals too. It's actually really nice sitting out side your caravan or campervan etc and having breakfast or lunch watching the animals. A really nice place to stay for the night or a few days as a base. Toilets on site and water. You can buy fresh eggs and honey from the owners, a really nice and friendly couple. About 20 minutes from Bournmouth and Poole.

Friendly welcome, plenty of space to park up. Toilets were very clean. Don't forget to bring own toilet roll! Nowhere to shower or wash up so need to be self contained. We loved seeing all the alpacas and llamas etc. great location for going to the beach or Moors Valley Park. Would definitely stay again!

We have stayed at Snooks Farm many times and we always thoroughly enjoy ourselves. The site is peaceful, welcoming, relaxed, near local scenic walks, convenient to venture into Bournemouth and visit local pubs, shops etc The added bonus are the alpacas and other farm animals that make your stay extra special. Thank you Chris and Ian for sharing your magic with us🪿🐴🐐🦙

Lovely little farm with lots of hilarious alpacas and other animals. Good, level pitches, loos and plenty of water points. Conveniently located and a gastro pub nearby - what more could you want! Owners very friendly and accommodating / helpful. We’ll be back.
