Fire

Purbeck is an extremely high wildfire risk area, with several major fires every summer. For this reason, disposable barbecues are not permitted anywhere on site - no exceptions. This is to keep yourself, your fellow campers and the environment safe. You are welcome to bring your own barbecue, fire pit or stove but it must be well off the ground. Never leave any open flame unattended and take extreme care disposing of cigarette butts. We provide everything you need for a roaring campfire. Do not remove tree limbs to burn as firewood. Damage to your pitch will result in the retention of your security deposit.

Noise

Our site offers peace, tranquility, and the opportunity to step back from our hectic, overstimulating modern lives. Buzzing bees, the rustle of wind in long grass, and the occasional whistle of the Swanage steam train are about the only sounds you’ll hear at Threshold Farm. Please help up preserve the serenity of the site by keeping noise to a minimum, particularly during quiet hours 21:00-08:00. No loud music at any time. Noise complaints will be taken seriously and you could be asked to leave if you continue to disturb your neighbours.

Dogs

Well-behaved dogs are welcome on site, however they must be kept under close control at all times. The farm is home to a number of four and two legged friends, from deer with fawns, to ground-nesting birds, to rabbits and lizards, and your cooperation helps to look after them. The same is true for your fellow campers, particularly those with young children and dogs of their own. Please pick up after your dog.

Waste

We ask that you leave no trace and keep your pitch clean for the next guests.

Farm

The Threshold is a working farm with dangerous machinery. Barns are strictly no access. Walkers can occasionally be seen on the public footpath which runs through the farm.

Vehicles

A 5MPH speed limit is in force throughout the site. We do not offer drive-on pitches for standard vehicles and regrettably cannot accommodate campervans or motorhomes. 4x4s must keep to the marked tracks and use these only to drive to and from their pitch. We can provide routes for some of the many exciting local green lanes for those keen to explore.

Bakery

On arrival, you will be given a menu for our local bakery. If you would like fresh bread or pastries during your stay, please fill out and leave your menu in our order box by 18:00 the day before.
