Main Services
Woodyhyde Campsite is a relaxed, family-run campsite set in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, just outside the historic village of Corfe Castle. Surrounded by open countryside and gently rolling fields, the campsite offers a peaceful base for guests looking to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and explore one of the most beautiful parts of the South Coast. The campsite has been welcoming campers for many years and has built a loyal following of returning visitors who value space, simplicity, and a friendly atmosphere. Woodyhyde is designed for traditional camping, with spacious, unmarked pitches that allow guests to choose their own spot on arrival. This creates a laid-back feel and gives families, couples, and groups the freedom to camp in a way that suits them, whether they prefer open fields, quieter corners, or spots closer to facilities. Woodyhyde welcomes tents, campervans, and motorhomes, with electric hook-ups available for those who need them. Caravans are not permitted, which helps maintain the open, uncluttered nature of the site. The campsite is particularly popular with families thanks to the safe, open spaces where children can play freely, as well as with walkers, cyclists, and dog owners who enjoy direct access to footpaths and countryside walks straight from the site. Dogs are welcome at Woodyhyde, provided they are kept on leads, and many guests choose the campsite specifically because of the dog-friendly walking routes nearby. Corfe Castle itself is within walking distance, offering one of the most iconic views in Dorset, while the surrounding area provides endless opportunities for scenic walks, historic exploration, and days out without needing to drive far. Facilities at Woodyhyde are modern, clean, and practical, designed to support comfortable camping without overcomplicating the experience. Guests have access to hot showers, toilets, fresh running water, and an onsite shop stocking everyday essentials and camping basics. The focus is on providing what campers genuinely need while preserving the peaceful, rural feel that makes the site special. In addition to traditional camping, Woodyhyde also offers a small selection of glamping accommodation, including yurts and a shepherd’s hut, for guests who want a little extra comfort while still enjoying the outdoor experience. These options are ideal for couples, short breaks, or those new to camping who want to experience the countryside without bringing their own equipment. Location is one of Woodyhyde’s greatest strengths. The campsite sits within easy reach of Corfe Castle, Swanage, Studland, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, and the wider Jurassic Coast, making it an excellent base for exploring Dorset’s beaches, coastal paths, and attractions. The Swanage Railway runs alongside part of the site, adding a unique and charming feature that is enjoyed by visitors of all ages. Woodyhyde Campsite prides itself on offering honest, good-value camping with clear pricing, no hidden fees, and a genuinely welcoming approach. Short stays are available, making it suitable for weekend breaks as well as longer holidays. The campsite is open seasonally, allowing the land to rest over winter and ensuring it remains well cared for year after year. At its heart, Woodyhyde is about simple pleasures: fresh air, open space, friendly faces, and memorable time spent outdoors. Whether guests are visiting for a family holiday, a walking break, a dog-friendly escape, or a quiet retreat in nature, Woodyhyde Campsite provides a relaxed and authentic camping experience in one of Dorset’s most beautiful locations.
