Camping Sites
for Scouts, Guides and organised Groups camping in Dorset


We have farmed Ower and Goathorn farms for nearly 20 years now producing top quality beef via a suckler heard ( the calves stay with their mothers until 10 months old) and are then weaned and graze separately, and breeding race horses both for flat and national hunt racing.

At least we did until the government decided that we should import most of our food and all the emphasis should be on environmental schemes so now most cattle are kept just to keep the farms tidy.

A large part of the farms are Sites of Special Scientific interest and as such we take great care that they are not over camped or overcrowded with usually ( though not always) only one group on a site at a time.

Many troops return every four years with new entrants, though some return every year and some have notched up thirty years of continuos visits!!! we must be doing something right.

These are very much pioneering type sites well away from habitation and lacking in hot showers, flush loos,TVs and poole tables though the scenery is superb, and the kids thoroughly enjoy themselves.

We look forward to meeting you.
