Unpowered grass site

Liked: Very friendly, took payment by phone at your pitch. Wooden picnic table delivered by pickup to our van- amazing service. Absolutely stunning views and nearby walks. All facilities were basic but kept immaculately clean.

Disliked: Some parts of site are on a slope- easily fixed with 2 wedges we used under one side of our campervan (transit conversion)

Unpowered grass site

Liked: If you're looking for a really nice basic campsite Penn Farm is for you. The toilets and showers were super clean. Facilities include fridge freezer, phone charging, picnic tables for most pitches, chemical toilets disposal, fresh water. Views are great and plenty of walks available. The owner was pleasant to talk to and only a phonecall away. The price is amazing however be aware there are no hard pitches or electric hooks ups. We had a lovely weekend. Thank you Penn Farm

Liked: Lovely site. Clean and well kept facilities. Friendly owner and it’s a very dog friendly site. Would be tricky to drive down to the bottom pitches in the wet (I don’t have a 4 wheel drive)

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Lovely big field with plenty of space between pitches. Toilets and shower were kept tidy and clean. Handy shed with fridge freezer to put freezer blocks, chilled food etc in. Campsite has the Monarch Way and Wessex ridgeway trails passing through. Nice walks following these trails to Charmouth ( 2hrs) and Lyme Regis (1hr). Second time staying on this site and will definately stay again. Nigel very friendly, welcoming and happy to answer any questions you might have.

Disliked: Nothing at all.

Local attractions

It’s a very fine part of the world, the Jurassic Coast – and guests at Penn Farm will be close to one of its huge draws, the fossil hunting mecca of Charmouth, just under 10 minutes’ drive from the site. Chesil beach (half an hour) and Durdle Door (an hour) are both worth exploring too, and of course there are some stunning walks to be had along the coast path pretty much wherever you choose. Telly fans might already recognise the backdrop of West Bay (15 minutes) if they’ve ever watched ITV's Broadchurch; also familiar to foodies will be the backdrop of chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s pad River Cottage, around 20 minutes’ drive away. If you fancy having a go at your own bit of outdoor cheffing, perhaps you’d also like to have a whirl at catching your own supper on a fishing trip from Lyme Regis (10 minutes). If you’ve brought the kids along, it’s a good idea to plan days out in Dorchester (35 minutes), where there’s a dinosaur museum and teddy bear museum, at the farm park at Kingston Maurward (40 minutes) or at Weymouth’s Sea Life Centre (45 minutes).
