  • Quiet family-run Dorset park 20 minutes’ walk from Lyme Regis
  • Charmouth 10 minutes’ drive; Beer 20 minutes; Chesil Beach 50 minutes
  • On-site shop; pop-up dining in summer; pub five minutes’ walk
Looking for a non-party place? Set in peaceful countryside on the county lines between Devon and Dorset, Hook Farm Campsite in Uplyme should be your first pick. This family-run holiday park is a quiet place designed for small family groups, couples and solo travellers only. Not only that, but it's in pole position for exploring the Jurassic Coast and the pretty seaside town of Lyme Regis (20 minutes’ walk away). 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 on-site 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 away, should have anything you can’t find in the site shop, and there’s also a pub five minutes' walk away serving home-cooked food and real ales. For food fanatics, pop-up food trucks stop by Hook Farm Campsite 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

This well-maintained campsite offers spacious, clean pitches with excellent facilities, including spotless toilets and showers. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff. Its beautiful rural location provides stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, with many enjoying the lovely riverside walk to Lyme Regis. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points were raised regarding the cost of showers and Wi-Fi, and the firmness of the ground. The site's terraced layout contributes to privacy.

Marion B.

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

Liked Well spaced out pitches with a large grass area to use. Sunny , peaceful site with lots of bird song. Public footpath from the site. 10 mins walk to the pub. 1 1/2 mile walk along a good path by the river into Lyme Regis and coast path. Micro brewery at the end of the path. Loved it!
Really friendly staff. Pop up Indian on the Saturday night, perfect after a long walk.
Clean spacious facilities.

Disliked Maybe an 11 o’clock check out would be better

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the great review, the micro brewery is amazing and we stock their beers in our shop. Hope you can visit again soon.

Great site and would definitely return.

Joe F.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Very friendly staff, extremely clean facilities, good water pressure. Lovely setting. Our new favourite in the county. On site Indian food van arrived on Saturday night which was handy. 20p shower for 4 mins is no problem at all as all the facilities are spotless, I would happily pay that again and again. Wifi is excellent.

Disliked Really really minor things, some of these can’t be changed some would make it a 11 out of 10 campsite.

The ground on our pitch was very rocky, wrote off a good amount of pegs in the process - bring plenty of spares.

I tow for a living and even I would have second thoughts about towing a 16ft caravan up the lanes to the camp. Not for the faint hearted.

The bathrooms (which are spotless) could really do with a false ceiling. One to cover up all the utilities and keep the clean and sterile aesthetic, but two to keep all the spiders at bay in the rafters. Also some radiators in the bathrooms wouldn’t go a miss. Dropped to 4 degrees in the night during our stay, you are certainly reminded of this on a toilet seat first thing in the morning!

Indian food van but very expensive for what it was. 5 takeaway curries for £75!!!

From the manager: Thankyou for your review we are so pleased that we are your new favourite park in the country.

We always recommend strong pegs as being on the Jurassic coast the ground is very stoney. We also sell pegs in our campsite shop. We don't accept touring caravans on our park, but there are a couple of routes to our park both a very short distance from an A road.

We have two shower blocks, the one you visited is in one of our tent area and mainly used in the Summer by guests. I am pleased that you found the facilities spotless.

Hilary M.

Electric grass campervan pitch (medium)

Liked Quiet campsite, nice view from pitch across valley, small pub a short walk away (downhill there, uphill back!).The campsite is on a hillside, with well kept toilet blocks at the top and bottom of the site; probably would not be suitable for anyone with reduced mobility who needed to use these. We enjoyed walking to/from to Lyme Regis using the River Lym footpath, which took around 45-50 minutes.

Disliked Did not see any private wash basins, only those in communal bathroom areas, so no privacy to wash if you don't need or want a full shower.
Check-in is from 1pm, which means 1pm! Arrived just before 12:55pm and waited in vehicle until 1pm.
These are both minor points, certainly didn't spoil a lovely few nights away. We would definitely come here again.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay

We have two private cubicles in our lower toilet block.

We hope you can visit gain soon.

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.
