  • 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.

Gary P.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)

Liked I liked the cleanliness of the toilet block. They have wifi that reached to where I was.

Disliked I disliked the stoney ground, the shop closed at 5pm and that they charge you for using the shower. You get 4 minutes of non stop acceptably warm water for 20p, then if you need more, another 20p is needed.
Seriously.

From the manager: Thank you for the review pleased you liked our facilities and the wifi. I hope you had time to see Lyme Regis. We have a great little shop on the park selling fresh bakery but we do let guests know it closes at 5. There is a shop in the village which is open until 7 in the summer and a largish Tesco in Lyme which is open until late.

Excellent site with spotless facilities

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked The arrival office, and escorting us to the pitch

Disliked The mains information was not clear in booking and confirmation, we were 5m short of the 20m length to the power point, the staff was a polite, "we told you 20m" unhelpful response

From the manager: Thank you for the review and we hope you can visit us again 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.
