Hobby Farm Bridport Dorset
Go Glamping and camping at Hobby Farm near Bridport in West Dorset for a rural rustic back to nature experience. Our site is as wild as nature intended and with two fields, one for our 3 shepherd huts for glampers and another for campers with 14 non-electric pitches.
We are a small, adult only site. Our holidaymakers stay to experience simplicity and to be left alone to appreciate our lovely surroundings. As such, we do not intrude however, live nearby and are on site daily, in the morning and early evenings incase needed. Catch us then if you would like logs or local advice.
You are welcome to fish in the lake in the camp field, just sit and relax around the BBQ or walk the 500 yards to the local country pub.
