MONARCHS WAY 'wild' camp

Monarch’s Way Campsite is our small, seasonal pop-up campsite set in a quiet orchard in the village of Trent, just five minutes from The Rose and Crown. As of April 2026, it is run by Amelia & Mal too, check-in takes place at The pub, where you will always find a smiley face & before you head over to pitch up beneath the young fruit trees, grab a pint or a snack. With spacious grass pitches for tents, campervans and a space motorhomes, it’s a simple, almost wild camping experience designed for those who enjoy nature, fresh air and a slower pace of life.

Located along the historic Monarch’s Way footpath, the campsite is perfectly placed for countryside walks, exploring the surrounding Dorset villages, or simply unwinding in the orchard with a BBQ as the sun goes down. After a day outdoors, wander back to the pub for a well-earned drink or home-cooked meal before returning to your pitch under the stars.

Guests consistently highlight the calm, back-to-nature experience of camping in our orchard. One visitor described it as a “lovely quiet place to stay”, while another praised the “peaceful, quiet, beautiful field… so lovely to wake up to the birds in the morning.” The rural setting and simple facilities make it perfect for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.

Many guests also appreciate how close the campsite is to the village and pub. One reviewer noted the “great pub 5 minutes’ walk away” and the charm of staying in a small Dorset village with everything you need nearby.

With its relaxed atmosphere, great value and countryside location, it’s easy to see why so many campers say they would return again for another stay under the trees.
