Bell tents, shepherd's huts and camping on a Dorset farm
Kipdown Farm is a family sheep farm near Bridport, ten minutes from the sea. Stay in a bell tent in the top meadow or a shepherd's hut by the orchard, or bring your own tent or campervan to the lower field.
Places to stay
There are three ways to stay, all within a few minutes' walk of the farmyard, the showers and the farm shop.
Bell tents
Four 5-metre bell tents in the top meadow, pitched and furnished before you arrive.
From £95 a night · sleeps up to 4
Shepherd's huts
Two shepherd's huts at the edge of the orchard, with woodburners, open all year.
From £110 a night · sleeps up to 2
Grass pitches
Twelve big grass pitches in the lower field, for tents, campervans and small caravans.
From £28 a night for two · sleeps up to 6
A quiet farm with room to spread out
We've farmed sheep here for three generations, and opened the meadows to campers in 2019. The pitches are big, the evenings are quiet and on a clear night you can see the Milky Way from your fire pit.
- Hot showers and flushing toilets
- A fire pit for every tent, hut and pitch
- Eggs and logs from the farm shop
- The beach at West Bay is 15 minutes away
- Dogs welcome on pitches and in the huts
- Quiet after 10.30pm
Open all winter in the shepherd's huts
The camping season runs from 26 March to 31 October 2027, but Wren and Robin, our two shepherd's huts, stay open all year. Each has a woodburner, a double bed and its own shower room, so they're cosy even in January.
