Why stay here ...
Charles and Judy Norman welcome visitors to their CL at Winterborne Monkton set in the heart of a Victorian hamlet consisting of a working farm, cottages and a church. The site is close to the A354 with good access along a lane with passing places. Motorhomes have the option of using two hard standing areas over the winter. The quarter acre plot is level and well maintained with lawned pitches, electric hook ups, free high speed wi-fi and TV leads. Excellent shower and toilet facilities, with disabled access, are situated in a stone building opposite the site entrance. A wooden chalet contains essential information for new visitors. Bus stops for regular services to Weymouth/Dorchester are an easy 10 minute walk from the village, and our location allows good accessibility to all parts of Dorset.
Unspoilt farmland extends beyond the site, along the South Winterborne valley and up to the ramparts of Maiden Castle. This huge and ancient monument can be reached on foot from the village and is especially popular for its circular walks and panoramic views. Bird watchers and nature lovers will find a good variety of wildlife around the site.
In Winterborne Monkton, visitors can combine the convenience of being close to Dorchester, the historic county town, with the experience of staying in a rural location of outstanding natural beauty.

Perfect CL
The Manor House
Second visit here, stayed two nights on this occasion from 15/7. Very friendly, accommodating and peaceful site with full waste, fresh water, WC's and shower. Local buses to Dorchester and Weymouth short walk as is Maiden Castle. Great cycling area with National Route 26 into Weymouth and beyond to Portland and opposite to Dorchester. Dedicated cycle route put in for 2012 Olympics.
Beautiful little CL
The Manor House
What a fabulous well kept cl, we stayed at the end of May start of June, Judy came and made sure we were settled OK, she was very friendly and helpful with information on the area. The site is over looked by the iron age Maiden Castle, an amazing place to visit with stunning views. The site was quiet and ideally situated for walking into Dorchester and also catching a bus into Weymouth. We would highly recommend this little CL for its location and friendliness of the owner.
Very pleasant stay
The Manor House
Can’t grumble at this CL. The toilet/shower room was very good.
I liked how a hose was available for getting water to your unit (although possibly not long enough to get to all pitches)
There’s a very informative info hut and a 10 min walk takes you to the bus stops on the main road for Weymouth or Dorchester.
You can walk around an Iron Age settlement but there’s nothing else within a close walk.
If you like a walk that includes a pub this would be a longer walk than some would want and there’s no villlage shop etc. you are down a quiet country lane with a farm. So whilst there isn’t much around you that’s heaven to some.
The host, Judy, popped along a couple of times to make sure all was well.
This was a nice stay. Thanks
Beautiful well kept site
The Manor House
What a beautiful little site. Judy is such a lovely lady and her husband too. Nice pitches with grass kept nice and short. Nice little information hut with everything you need to know. Showers and toilets spotless.
This is a working farm but to be honest we didn’t notice any noise at all. Lovely and peaceful with nice walks near by.
Nice walk up to Maiden Castle. Lovely wee church in the hamlet too.
Easy access from A354 and access to side easy too.
Nice and central to where we were needing to visit. Lovely site and met some lovely people there. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful site with lots of local attractions
The Manor House
We visit this lovely site regularly and always have a great time. There are lots of places to visit. On our last visit we stopped at Portland and had coffee and cake at The Beehive Bakery and Cafe and then hopped on an open top bus. This took us up to Portland Bill. The views on the ride are amazing and we would thoroughly recommend it. If you have bus passes they can be used for the journey.
