Campsites with fishing in Dorset

·

For fishing fans eyeing Dorset, Hipcamp lists over 360 campsites where you can cast a line and unwind. Sites run from £11 a night, with the average closer to £90. Showers, campfires, and dog-friendly rules are common, so you can rinse off, cook your catch, and bring your pup along. You’ll find campsites tucked beside rivers, on rolling farmland, and within reach of Dorset’s rugged coast—perfect for mixing in a hike or a surf session between fishing trips. Local favourites include Sweet Hill Farm (142 reviews), where you’ll wake to sea views and sheep in the next field. Don’t forget to bag up your rubbish and check each site’s facilities before you book—some are rustic, others have a few more home comforts. Dorset’s angling spots fill up fast on weekends, so book ahead if you want your pick of the pegs.

West Holme Glamping is a micro-site with pre-erected bell tents in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just the job for romantic mini-breaks or holidays for small families, it's set in 20 acres, so there’s plenty of privacy and lots of space to roam around. The bell tents here come equipped with a double bed, rugs, picnic tables, lanterns, a gazebo and a gas barbecue. The three showers and three toilets are shared between six tents.. You'll just need to bring your own bed linen and towels or add them to your booking. You can explore the area by car – medieval castles, beaches, National Trust sites and the Jurassic Coast are all less than half an hour’s drive away. Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are 20 minutes' drive away. Pretty market towns like Dorchester (also 30 minutes) or seaside resorts like Swanage (20 minutes) are all worth a mosey, while historic Wareham has Saxon town walls and riverside churches to explore. The sandy beaches of Studland and Swanage are also within half an hour's drive of the site. If you’re feeling energetic, the Isle of Purbeck has plenty of walks and bike rides on the rocky peninsula overlooking the English Channel, as well as parts of the South West Coast Path. The local farm shop is a five-minute walk and sells the very best of local Dorset produce if you fancy cooking on the barbecue. And if you don’t, there’s a cosy tea shop attached, and there are plenty of gastropubs serving real ales and great grub in less than a 15-minute drive too.
