Imagine Glamping

The campsite is for the use of tents and small campervans (VW T series, Transits etc.) I'm afraid we do not allow caravans or motorhomes.

You are welcome to have fires at the campsite. You can buy wood here, or bring your own. I recommend bringing a small axe. NB: Please don't burn wood with nails or screws in. Please use an existing fire site where possible. The stones on the farm are not suitable for use around the fire as they explode.

There is a stand pipe next to the compost loo. The water on the farm comes from a spring and is agricultural grade, therefore I recommend boiling it before drinking.

There are compost and long drop loos. Please throw a handful of sawdust into the toilet, once you have finished. The toilets are for human waste and paper only.

The compost loos have a pee separator in them. Please try to avoid throwing loo paper and sawdust down them as they will block. Its probably best to accompany small children to ensure they sit well back on the toilet for obvious reasons.

The showers are gas and electric power showers. If there is a problem with them give me a call. Please leave them as you found them.

Dogs are welcome on the camp site, please make sure they are under control at all times. Please make sure you clean up after your dog. I recommend bringing a little shovel so you can hook any poo discreetly into the bottom of the hedge. If you must use little bags please dispose of them yourself, please DO NOT hang them in the hedges, leave them by the toilets or showers or put them in the compost loo.

**Noise**

Please be mindful of noise, both for your fellow campers and my neighbours. It does feel remote here but I do have residential neighbours on all sides and the wind is pretty good at carrying sound a fair distance. I politely request that there is no amplified music.


This is a working farm so please be aware that there may tractors and other machinery going about their business. For this reason please keep to the field that the camping area is in. There are also temporary dwellings on the holding that seasonal workers are residing in, please respect their privacy.

Nutley Farm Barns

Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, established in 1765, was described by Alan Titchmarsh as "one of the finest Gardens I have ever visited." It's been featured on television regularly, most recently in Gardeners' World additionally the Great British Garden Revival series on Tropical Gardens. But notably for moms and dads there's also a Children's Enjoy Area!The gardens are gorgeous and well presented with a number that is great of from all around the globe and easy to adhere to paths. The gardens include a walk that is secret a Summer House to explore and a Sculpture Trail to adhere to. There are numerous little bridges on the waterways to get across but no steeps slopes and gravel that is minimal which will be beneficial to anyone, from toddlers to seniors, whom could be unsteady on the feet.Approximately 50% for the Garden is available to disabled visitors, but some of this gravel paths are tough to negotiate.The point at the top of the gardens give incredible views of Portland Island and Chesil Beach or you can flake out by the lily pond, maintaining an eye fixed away for carp and dragonflies. A place that is fantastic young ones to create a camera along to, a sketch pad or a bug and bird ID book running a near 2nd place if you've got room left within the kit case beside the picnic and the paddling gear!
