  • 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.

Powered grass tent campsite (large)

Liked The site is really clean and well maintained. Lovely shower blocks and views of the surrounding countryside. It’s quiet and laid out so you have your own space.

Disliked The ground was very hard with loads of rocks which made placing tent pegs very difficult. You definitely need hard ground pegs and a strong mallet!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite (large, no awning)

Liked We loved our pitch it was quite private with a small hedge. The shower block was lovely and clean and staff were very helpful. The popup curry truck on Saturday was brilliant 🤩. The Talbot Arms fish & chips takeaway on Friday night was just perfect way to relax with a drink. The River walk into Lyme Regis was good making this site a perfect gem. We will be back 😁

Bell tent (no pets)

Liked Excellent location and layout. Staff are exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable. Site is quiet, and well kept, toilet and shower blocks are well equipped and looked after.

Disliked Would be amazing if there was a plug in cool box, unfortunately no amount of cool packs will keep things fresh in 36 degrees.

Powered grass tent campsite (XL)

Liked Site was nice and quiet, very dark - perfect for some star gazing. Every member of staff we encountered was lovely. Good distance from Lyme Regis and Charmouth. Toilet and block modern and very clean.

Disliked Pity that the showers are additional (yes only 20p for 4 minutes but that adds up for a family) on top of the site cost (which was fairly expensive comparatively for an electric pitch). It’s very hilly, and the top terrace for large tents wasn’t particularly flat for pitching on. Ruined our pegs with the very hard ground (but that’s likely the very hot summer to blame) Free wifi wasn’t very effective up on the top terrace especially of an afternoon and evening which wouldn’t be too much of an issue but there’s also very little phone signal available.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the feedback. We always recomend rock pegs as we are on The Jurassic Coast.

Fab site. Will be back. Thankyou

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.
