What customers say
This adult-only campsite is praised for its peaceful, natural setting with beautiful views and spacious, private pitches. Facilities are consistently described as clean and well-maintained, including hot showers and a communal fridge/freezer. Its location is ideal for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Some minor points raised include narrow access lanes and occasional maintenance needs in facilities.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We both liked the small and quiet nature of the campsite.
The facilities were first class and the whole area around the kitchen and showers were kept very clean.
We would certainly recommend it to others we know.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We didn’t end up staying so can’t really comment..it seemed like a lovely location
Disliked Felt so unwelcome & uncomfortable that we left within ten minutes of pitching…nothing to do with the owners of the site or the facilities but everything to do with a fellow camper on the opposite side of the field who complained about our exceptionally low music (country) within moments of us putting it on…approx 7pm…it was literally as low as it would go…coming from a 4 inch cube wi-fi speaker…not a ghetto blaster !!! She whined that she could hear it 🤯 well, we could hear their talking actually from the only dining table they had completely taken over…but I didn’t think for a minute to go over and ask them to shut-up !! Upon checking with the owners subsequently…they confirmed it is not a silent site and they DON’T have a NO MUSIC policy…we had intended to watch a film on a laptop in the evening in our tent but realising this would no doubt cause further conflict & spoil our stay…we left…very disappointed & upset. It was a very quiet, adult only site…that is why we chose it !!!! We felt we’d made a big mistake booking this site. We’d been driving all day & didn’t get home until 1am…absolutely exhausted…doing that seemed preferable to the hassle & selfishness we’d encountered…

From the manager: We are unsure why this review has been written a month after your stay. You have already been in touch with us immediately after your stay to say exactly the same to us privately and now in a public way. Our campsite is quiet but is not
a “silent” campsite and we don’t say anywhere about no music.
We encourage a site where noise is kept to a minimum so that all can appreciate the beautiful, quiet, natural space. We expect campers to respect each other and to deal with your own intolerances in a mutually respectful way between yourselves. Maybe you should have asked them to talk more quietly?

Liked Beautiful, scenic site
Peaceful
Fire pit in each pitch
Our pitch had a picnic table
Trees created nice seclusion for each pitch
Fridge freezer available
Electric available
Disliked No one on site if needed
Toilets and showers - full of cobwebs and spiders, they could do with a full on clean and touch up. I didn't realise how scared of spiders I was until I needed the toilet. Showers temperamental

Book in, you will not regret it.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked There is nothing not to like about Hobby Farm! The layout is sensitive to privacy, is full of natural peace and beauty, and is a glorious retreat.
Such added extras and clean loos, showers and washing up area are appreciated, as are sockets for charging and a sizeable fridge/freezer to make camping easier.
The emphasis is clearly on quiet quality rather than numbers and overstretched areas.
Thank you so much Hobby Farm
