Eweleaze Farm

The crunch of grass underfoot mingles with the rhythmic wash of waves against Dorset's Jurassic Coast, while evening light floods across clifftop pitches that seem to hover between sky and sea. This is Eweleaze Farm in its glorious August incarnation – a campsite so cherished it opens just one month each year, when sun-seekers claim their piece of coastal heaven on the cliffs above Osmington Mills.

Perfect for families and adventurous campers who relish simplicity with spectacular views, this tent and campervan site occupies farmland between Weymouth and Lulworth, where the South West Coast Path traces dramatic limestone cliffs. The real treasure here is the private beach below – a secluded cove reached by footpath, offering safe swimming away from crowded resort shores. Dogs are welcome for a small charge, making this ideal for four-legged coast explorers.

Essential facilities include showers, toilets and an onsite shop for provisions. Campfires are the evening ritual here (check the current policy on arrival), creating a convivial atmosphere as flames flicker and stories are shared. The vibe is gloriously unfussy – wild swimming, clifftop sunsets, and the simple pleasure of sleeping within earshot of the waves.
