Escape to a beautifully restored 1949 vintage Airstream set in a wildflower meadow at Hartridge Springs in the Blackdown Hills. This off-grid camper/RV stay is designed for guests who want countryside quiet, dark skies, and a few comforts, with the Jurassic Coast within easy reach for day trips.

A home to relax and unwind
This is an off-grid, vintage-style stay created with dark skies in mind. Solar-powered lighting helps reduce light pollution so you can truly enjoy the night sky. Inside, the Airstream offers a cosy, characterful space to settle in after a day exploring, with atmospheric lighting and a simple, comfortable layout for slow mornings and relaxed evenings.

Outside is where the setting really comes to life: your deck and outdoor seating invite long chats, outdoor meals, and fire-lit nights in the meadow. If you’d like to add a little extra indulgence, you can also book the wood-fired hot tub and communal sauna as paid add-ons.
