Osmington Corner Camp Site, also known as Osmington Mills Corner Campsite, is a simple, family run tent and motorhome site set in several acres of countryside above the village of Osmington, near Weymouth in Dorset. The site has been used by returning campers for more than 60 years and keeps things old fashioned and low cost. Pitches are terraced and flat with wide open views towards Weymouth, which is roughly 5 miles away, while the coast at Osmington Mills and its Smugglers Inn sits about a mile downhill on the South West Coast Path that runs beside the site. Tents and motorhomes with awnings are welcome, but there are no touring caravans and no electric hook ups, so this is proper back to basics camping. Facilities cover a toilet block with hot showers, plenty of space for children to run about and fire pits available to rent. A bus stop by the site runs to Weymouth and Durdle Door, and two pubs are within walking distance. Dogs are welcome on leads. Camping is seasonal and limited to set dates in late spring and summer, and there is one flat price of £18 per tent per night. No deposit is needed and you book by phoning Osmington Corner Camp Site directly.
No, the site takes tents and motorhomes with awnings only, and there are no touring caravan pitches and no electric hook ups. It is deliberately basic, back to basics camping, with a toilet block and hot showers rather than a full facilities holiday park.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, dogs are welcome on the site and need to be kept on leads. There is plenty of open space around the pitches, and the South West Coast Path runs beside the campsite for longer walks down to the sea at Osmington Mills.
When is the campsite open?
Camping is seasonal and runs on set dates only, covering a spell in late May and early June and then late June through to the end of August. It is best to phone ahead, as no deposit is taken and booking is by phone.
How much does it cost?
There is one simple price all season of £18 per tent per night. No deposit is required, and you reserve your pitch by calling the site directly rather than booking online. That low, flat rate is a big part of its long standing appeal.
How far is the beach and Weymouth?
Weymouth and its sandy beach are roughly 5 miles away, while the cove at Osmington Mills is about a mile downhill. A bus stop by the site runs to Weymouth and Durdle Door, and two pubs are within walking distance of the pitches.
Are campfires allowed?
Yes, the site rents out fire pits, so you can have a contained fire during your stay. There is space for children to play, terraced flat pitches with views towards Weymouth, and a relaxed, old fashioned family camping atmosphere across the season.
