  • 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 gets rave reviews for its cracker location, cleanliness, and super-friendly staff. Spotless facilities, including hot showers, get a massive tick from most visitors. The easy walk to Lyme Regis along the river is a big plus, and pitches are generally well-spaced. A few folks mentioned shower/Wi-Fi costs, and the odd pitch firmness or neighbourly closeness issue.

Unpowered grass tent site (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

Liked So friendly and helpful.
Showers were great, toilet block was spotless.
Lovely location, peaceful and quiet even though there were dogs and children, everyone was friendly and respectful.
The ship was stocked with everything you wanted.
The pitch was level and clean.
They also allow you to stay for one night.
We have been turned away from sites in the past because we only wanted to stay for one night and were exhausted.
Will definitely be back. Thank you

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.
