Our Campsite
Our little campsite is situated on a working farm, in the idyllic West Dorset countryside. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just 5 miles from the Jurassic coast.
​
Pineapple is a scenic and peaceful adult only, dog friendly campsite. It's the perfect place to stay if you want your summer nights snuggled up by your private firepit, stargazing with your faithful canine friend by your side.
Guests can take pleasure in the wonderful serenity of the site and the vast green expanses surrounding it. The local area is great for Jurassic Coast explorers, seaside lovers, enthusiastic cyclists, ramblers, walkers, and those seeking a peaceful and tranquil break. Explore some of the meandering footpaths and hedgerows leading to some wonderful local places of interest. Within walking distance you will be met by a cidery offering tours (0.5 miles away), a quaint village pub (1 mile away), and just 1.5 miles drive a vineyard with tasting experiences.
​
A short drive away you will find the local market town of Bridport, the unquestionable beauty of the Jurassic Coast and all the wonderful little hamlets nearby.

The lanes look narrow – will I get my van through?We have lots of lorries and caravans entering our site daily, so you shouldn't have any problem getting yout van through! However, we are situated in the Dorset countryside and we are surrounded by narrow lanes. Therefore, please do not rely on a SatNav to find our campsite. Instead, drive to Salway Ash via the B3162. Then head down Ash Lane. You will be driving down a country lane for less than half a mile, before turning left into Pineapple Estate. We are signposted from Salway Ash, but we will also email you directions 3 days before your booking commences. You can also find directions on our Contact Us page.

Can I request a pitch? (book, save, reserve etc)Sadly not. Our system does not currently allow pitches to be saved. However, we have listened to what guests have said and have now broken the campsite up into different areas. Meaning, when you book you have a lot more control on where you will be on the campsite. We've named each area of the campsite after the flora & fauna that grow there - super cute!
-
Can I bring an extra car, van, bobby tent or gazebo?Yes. These can be added when you're making your online booking. If you want to add extras at a later date, please contact us and we can add it for you.
-
Can we bring a fire pit or BBQ?You may bring your own firepit or BBQ, but it must be risen off the ground. This is so it doesn't burn the grass. For this reason, disposable BBQ's are not permitted. Each pitch has a fire pit that you're more than welcome to use, free of charge. We have made the fire pits from recycled washing machines, so they're recycled and perfect for keeping you warm! ​ Wood must be purchased from our shop. We say this, as the wood we sell is well seasoned. This is important, if the wood isn't seasoned, more smoke is given off negatively impacting fellow guests stay. Charcoal must not be used in our complementary firepits either. This is for a couple of reasons; Charcoal is often treated making it toxic to soil. As we spread the ash onto our land, it would be detrimental to the ecosystem. Charcoal also burn very hot, causing potential warping or damage to the fire pit. Fires must be extinguished by 10pm at the latest.
-
How do we get wood & fire pits?We have been busy making more fire pits, from recycled metal. Each pitch now has it's own fire pit. It will be on your pitch when you arrive and you're more than welcome to use it for free. We do ask that guests buy the wood from our little shop. This can be ordered in advance, via our shop webpage or bought from our shop, during your stay. Please collect your wood from our Shop & Reception during its opening hours. Charcoal must not be used in our complementary firepits. We ask wood is bought from our shop, as the wood is dried to a high standard. Reducing air pollution and therefore, making a more enjoyable experience for other guests. Charcoal cannot be used as it burns too hot and may damage the firepit. Charcoal is often treated with chemicals that are toxic to the soil. This is also a concern for us, as we spread the ash on our farm as it's a good source of Potassium.
