  • Quiet family-run park five minutes’ drive from Lyme Regis in Dorset
  • Charmouth 10 minutes’ drive; Beer 20 minutes; Chesil Beach 50 minutes
  • Shop and snack bar; pop-up dining in summer; pub 10 minutes’ walk
Set in peaceful countryside on the county lines between Devon and Dorset, Hook Farm Campsite in Uplyme is a peaceful, family-run holiday park in pole position for family adventures along the Jurassic Coast and in the pretty seaside town of Lyme Regis (five minutes’ drive). Once you’ve settled in, owners John and Jacky and their close-knit team at reception are happy to advise on sightseeing and local walks, or provide information on local events and attractions. The adjacent shop is stocked with camping essentials, basic foods and barbecue bits, as well as sweets and snacks to keep the kids going. The staples store in Uplyme (10 minutes’ walk) has anything you can’t find in the site shop, and there’s a pub serving home-cooked food and real ales. For food fanatics, pop-up food trucks stop by Hook Farm in high season, and it’s also close to River Cottage (35 minutes’ drive, famed as the restaurant of TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall), as well as an assortment of pubs and restaurants showcasing local food and drinks. The campsite is situated within a dark-skies area, so you might get lucky weatherwise and observe star-studded night skies from the comfort of your pitch.

What customers say

Hook Farm is highly praised for its beautiful location, cleanliness, and friendly, helpful staff. Many reviewers highlight the excellent, spotless facilities, including hot showers. The campsite's proximity to Lyme Regis via a scenic riverside walk is a significant draw. Pitches are generally well-spaced and well-maintained. While most feedback is positive, a few guests mentioned the cost of showers and Wi-Fi, and the occasional issue with pitch firmness or proximity to neighbours.

Sally J.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked We liked this site for its unique pitch locations, each one a little different because the site is divided up by vegetation and by landscape. The pitches are level, but the site itself is on a bit of a slope. Good shower and toilet facilities. Good shop providing rolls etc for the morning if you need them. (Shop opens at 9). Wifi not so good on lower pitches; we had to walk up the slope to get good reception.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are really pleased that you liked the layout of our park and the terraced pitches. We hope you can visit us again soon.

Made welcome by the staff and pitches large enough with good outlook.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked A lovely campsite in beautiful surroundings. The staff are friendly, there's a little shop for necessities and the toilet and shower block is clean and well-maintained. There is a public footpath from the site to the impressive Cannington Viaduct and it's about a ten minute drive to Lyme Regis. Lots of wildlife around, there was a tawny owl hooting all night (I was delighted, we don't get many owls in the town).

Disliked Free WiFi is patchy

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review and pleased that you heard the tawny owl. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Fantastic facilities, friendly owners, a great stay!

Catherine S.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (large, no awning)

Liked Fantastic site, it was perfect for a weekend break with our 6 year old. Owners were so friendly and helpful. We liked the pop up food vans and the fresh croissants in the shop. The toilets and showers were very clean and had great water pressure.

The walk into Lyme Regis was about a 25 minute stroll. The walk along the river was lovely. We had a perfect weekend away and will definitely be returning.

Disliked Nothing, this was a great site!

Local attractions

Dedicated star-gazers can stroll up to Trinity Hill Nature Reserve (45 minutes’ walk), awarded Dark Sky Discovery Site status thanks to its lack of light pollution. Hook Farm is also a handy base camp for walkers in the East Devon Natural Landscape (direct from site), and has ready access to the South West Coast Path (half an hour), while following the East Devon Way (five minutes) gives you a handy riverside shortcut down to the sea. Historic Lyme Regis (five minutes’ drive) is known for the fossils and ammonites found on its sands, and is gateway to the dramatic seascapes of the Jurassic Coast. You can hunt for more ancient treasures on the beach at Charmouth (10 minutes), and wander along the pebble spit at Chesil Beach (50 minutes). The lively (and lovely) seaside town of Beer (20 minutes) has a photogenic fishing harbour and several contemporary art galleries to mooch around, and if the kids are with you, you’ll probably end up at The Donkey Sanctuary (also 20 minutes), where you can feed and cuddle rescue donkeys.
