Simple dog-friendly site with a peaceful stream and basic facilities
A 20-minute drive from Charmouth and 25 minutes from Lyme Regis
Large field for dogs to be let off their leads and a communal firepit

What a peaceful place this is, with a gently-flowing stream and heaps of greenery – and an excellent base for hunting for fossils on the Jurassic coast or sauntering over sections of the South West Coast Path. A 20-minute drive from Charmouth and 25 minutes from Lyme Regis, Clapton Farm Caravan and Campsite is the sort of spot where evenings can be spent chatting to other likeminded folk around the communal firepit… In the daytime, you might want to scour the coast at Lyme Regis and Charmouth for fossils (or perhaps for the finest fish and chips you’re able to get your hands on). West Bay is also half an hour’s drive away for surfing, scuba diving and other watersports. Close to the Somerset and Dorset border, this is a central location if there ever was one. It’s also a friendly patch – canine companions have a large field where they can be let off their leads to play, just over the stream. The friendly hosts can often be found around the firepit in the eve or across the road in the farmhouse – they say, if you need anything, just ask. They’re sure to point you towards all the hot spots… This could include weaving between the rhododendron and the thick trunks of the Wayford Woods, 25 minutes’ walk from the site. Any picnics can be put together with goodies from the supermarkets in Crewkerne, five minutes’ drive away

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful site with a lovely shallow clean stream running through it. Hammocks and swings over the stream which was such a lovely touch. Amazing views over the Somerset countryside. Communal fire put and logs provided. Lots of picnic benches.

Disliked: The toilet/shower block was a shed, it had lots of spiders in.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Loved the kitchen hut with kettle, lovely treat. The stream was beautiful and the tree swing and hammocks entertain our children ranging from 7-17years olds. The lovely farmer lady came round and offered the kids to visit her farm. They had a great time, she was so kind and gave the kids lots of information about the different animals. Shower was very good nice size and temperature was fantastic. Had a lovely group of ducks abd geese roaming which is great too see

Local attractions

Lyme Regis (25 minutes’ drive) may be a haven for fossil hunters – and those seeking to learn more about the old sea creatures that once populated the sea – but it’s also well-suited to watersports like windsurfing or visits to the marine aquarium. There are also guided fossil hunting walks in both Lyme Regis and Charmouth (20 minutes) for newbies to that sort of thing. For some simply splendid walks across the coast, sublime sea views and more possible fossils, head for Black Ven (25 minutes) and Stonebarrow Hill (25 minutes). Other scenic stretches and points of interest include Abbotsbury (40 minutes), where there’s a colony of nesting swans, and Seaton (35 minutes), a fishing town with a tramway and watersports options. Inland doesn’t disappoint either, especially for those who are looking for more outdoor activities. Tackle the Blackdown Hills AONB (35 minutes) on horseback, foot or bicycle and make your way to the Axe Valley Wildlife Park (25 minutes) to see animals like chipmunks, zebras and flamingos.
