The campsite welcomes tents and campervans and can accommodate extra requests – simply send a note with your enquiry form.

There’s play equipment for children and a visiting pizza van, and often farm-produced burgers and sausages available.

You’ll find various footpaths and cycleways into the countryside direct from the campsite, and just a short drive away are the sandy beaches of Swanage and Studland Bay.

Nearby in Harman’s Cross is a Spar shop & petrol station, and Corfe has a village shop and various eateries.

Right outside Purbeck Valley Farm Campsite is a bus stop, where you can pick up the seasonal No.30 Jurassic Breezer bus.

Find the timetable online: www.morebus.co.uk/services/WDBC/30

Horses are welcome by arrangement – the site has direct access to the Purbeck Bridleway network, hills and forest.
