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.

The location is ideal for exploring Lyme Regis, with a lovely riverside walk.

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Quiet and calm with clean facilities. Everyone was respectful to others and each pitch had plenty of room.

I would definitely come back again.

Disliked Ground underneath the layer of grass was full of stones which made hammering in the pegs very difficult. Most actually bent when being driven in.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked We love this campsite. Best out of the 6 or 7 we have tried. Beautiful, varied setting, with trees/bushes between pitches, i.e. not just a bare field, Very spacious. Not too far to Lyme Regis. Fridge for freezer blocks available too. EV charging worked well.

Electric grass campervan pitch (medium)

Liked Friendly welcome and very helpful with local knowledge. Pitches are a great size and feel really private bonus of having great free WiFi which we weren’t expecting Very clean facilities and a lovely walk down to Lyme Regis with a bus to catch if you don’t fancy walking back up the hill!

Disliked I can’t fault this place it was lovely. We had one small issue with the shower not working but luckily wasn’t busy so could just use another cubicle.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the great review, the shower is now resolved. We hope to welcome you back again soon. We are pleased that you appreciated the free WiFi.

Electric grass motorhome pitch (large)

Liked Friendly staff

Disliked Very basic for
The price in comparison to other sites locally, plus they expect you to pay for your showers on top. WiFi was very poor and fluctuated consistently.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, our prices are very similar to other parks on the coast. We did have an issue with one of our wifi masts last week which affected a small area of the park. This has now been resolved and apologies for the inconvenience.

Great peaceful location with beautiful views…

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.
