California Meadows

Traditional Camping in the heart of Swanage, Dorset,

California Meadows lies in beautiful Dorset countryside on the internationally recognised Jurassic Heritage coast near the seaside town Swanage. Situated only a few minutes from dramatic cliffs and the South West Coast Path, there are stunning sea views across to the Needles on the Isle of Wight. The safe sandy beach at Swanage is only a mile away and rocky coves a short drive away.

Camping
A small campsite, lies in the meadows near Priest Way. Its size also makes it suitable for hire by small groups such as scouts, schools, climbing/walker groups etc, it is only a couple of fields from the cliffs and the South West Coast Path.

A toilet block provides WC and cold water wash basins (please note this is a rustic campsite and there are currently no on-site showers). A firepit, away from the tents, can be used for small evening gatherings.

Shepherd Huts
We now have two original late 19th century shepherds huts available for hire. Billy Wix can sleep 2 adults and Laughing Betsy can take up to 3 people. Both shepherd huts look out across Swanage with sea views, and are set in their own small gardens.
