If you’re camping here at Camp Hartland in the summer, have a browse at what’s on offer on your doorstep to make your stay a truly holistic holiday – book a massage for after a long day’s walking along the Purbeck coast, join the kids for some arty fun, or wake up to an Ashtanga yoga session in the studio, or outside if the weather’s warm.

Camping at Hartland Stud, near Corfe Castle
Hartland Stud’s located just off the A351 between Wareham and Corfe Castle – almost directly opposite the Halfway Inn pub.
Turn into Soldier’s Road, where you’ll pass Lenctenbury Farm on your left (which is an excellent spot for fruit-picking in the Sumer, its pumpkin patch at Halloween, and high-quality, non-drop Christmas tree in late November/early December).
Hartland’s heathland with fantastic walking routes flank the road either side, and the entrance to both Hartland Stud and Camp Hartland is just a few hundred metres down Soldier’s Road on your left.
You can also approach from the opposite direction via Arne Road.
