  • Family-run site on a Dorset farm five minutes’ drive from Lyme Regis
  • The Jurassic Coast five minutes’ drive; Seaton Tramway 20 minutes
  • Spacious pitches five minutes’ walk from the South West Coast Path
When it’s all about location, Cummins Farm Campsite certainly is very blessed. This five-acre, family-run (and family-friendly) Dorset site sits in quiet countryside between Charmouth and Lyme Regis on the world-renowned Jurassic Coast, with the South West Coast Path handily close by as well for the walkers among you. Accessed up a private lane with a security barrier and no through traffic, the well-maintained camping field is sheltered by trees and has electric hook-ups around its perimeter. The vibe is generally relaxed, with no formal numbered pitches, so you can choose where you would like to set up your base camp. The purpose-built facilities block has coin-operated showers, and there are washing-up stands, drinking water taps, a freezer for ice blocks and phone-charging points – but no electricity, so remember to pack torches and batteries for after-dark perambulations. You can walk to the seaside within about half an hour; a sign-posted footpath through fields takes you right into the centre of Charmouth or Lyme Regis, and you get to explore the West Dorset countryside along the way. The return journey is steep in places for tired legs, but there are regular bus services, with the closest stop 10 minutes’ walk along a flat pavement from the campsite.

Local attractions

The ‘Pearl of Dorset’, Lyme Regis (five minutes’ drive) has loads going on, with a beach for fossil hunting, boat cruises and fishing trips from its harbour and a full roster of festivals, regattas and carnivals over the summer. Those of you keen to learn more about pre-history can tour the displays at Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre (also five minutes), and join organised fossil walks along the beach. Anyone looking for scenic hikes can follow the South West Coast Path (five minutes’ walk) for amazing clifftop views in either direction. If you’d rather admire the coastline on heritage transport, ride the Seaton Tramway (20 minutes’ drive) between Seaton and Colyton. Ideas for family days out include petting the rescue animals at The Donkey Sanctuary (25 minutes), seeing the mute swans at Abbotsbury Swannery (35 minutes) or feeding lemurs and meerkats at Axe Valley Wildlife Park (10 minutes). For thrills and spills, head for the hard-core rides at Crealy Theme Park and Resort (40 minutes).

What customers say

Spacious, peaceful farm site with excellent, clean washrooms (plenty of hot water, no waits). Great location for Lyme Regis/Charmouth access. Friendly staff. Coin showers a minor quibble for some. Good value, relaxing. Many will return.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked -Great location for Lyme Regis and Charmouth
-The cleanest toilets and showers I've ever seen at a UK campsite
-Mobile phone charging point available

Disliked -It was hard to find a level pitch - much of the field is sloped
-The ground was too hard for standard tent pegs (and judging by the discarded bent pegs on the ground, we weren't the first to encounter that problem). Advise taking rock pegs, which work fine.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Incredible campsite, can’t wait to come back, best shower facilities I’ve ever used camping - hot, clean, spacious, dry area for changing in the cubicle. Hairdryers available. Toilets perfectly clean too. Very chill site without fixed pitches, roomy and free to set up however you want. Quiet in the evenings, lovely area, secure site with a barrier. Really lovely friendly staff who tried to save our gazebo when the winds decided to turn it into a kite while we were out. Definitely will be back next year (hopefully in better weather!!)

Liked Lovely site, plenty of room for caravan and our families tent to be together. Showers were amazing and the 5 mins is plenty of time. Lots of space for the grandkids to play they had a wonderful time. If you are worrying about 50p for shower I was able to change money with the site rangers

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Very relaxed, you’re able to pitch wherever you like. It was busy as it was bank holiday weekend, but as it’s such a large field, it was still a peaceful stay. Toilets and showers were clean and worked well. Plenty of hot water. Good walking access down to Lyme Regis and Charmouth, be ready for the hills.
