Woodfrys Farm is a campsite with a green and sustainable ethos at it's heart. If you want to get back to nature in fantastic surroundings, then this campsite is for you.
Nestled in the North Dorset countryside in easy striking distance of lovely places to visit, you can decide whether to go out or relax onsite watching the birdlife on the lake, paddling in the stream, or walking the meadow.
Situated in the Cranbourne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is a International Dark Sky Reserve, with dark nights and starry skies. Torches are a must!
Every care is taken to ensure we minimise the impact of what we do on the environment and we're actively taking steps to make low impact camping an easy and enjoyable experience for all.
The Ridge
Campervan or tents
There are two pitches on the Ridge which have a birds eye view of the water meadow and lake, often with fantastic aerial displays from the local bird life.
You'll catch the last rays of the day up on the Ridge. Each pitch has it's own water supply, picnic table and fire pit and is closer to the shop & shower facilities.
The other pitch up on the Ridge is The Withy Hut. This is a Sleeps 2 Shepherds Hut, but you can also add up to 3 more people to the pitch staying in a camper or tent so something to think about if you want a mix of camping and glamping!

Recycling
We've nine different recycling streams on the farm including all the usual suspects and a few more you might not expect!
We'll make it as easy as possible for your to deal with your rubbish and even get the kids involved too so everyone can do their bit.
Water saving
Our showers get rave reviews - and are a real power shower experience, but they are water saving too - using a clever showerhead we give you a power-shower experience whilst using just 5 litres a minute.
Water is heated on demand so no energy goes to waste.
Composting
Everything is composted here!
Pick up a compost caddy for your food waste. The ash from your fire is potash for the orchard.
Thanks to the composting toilets we have more than enough compost to ensure the hedges, trees and mini-beasts are thriving. That's why you''ll see & hear so many birds when you are here.

We supply environmentally friendly products for you to use during your stay including washing up liquid, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner and shower gels.
We use Faith-In-Nature, and Bio-D who are both B-Corp listed companies and who takes steps to live lightly
