  • Quiet family-run Dorset park 20 minutes' walk from Lyme Regis
  • 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 border 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 (20 minutes' walk/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 local 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.

Steph H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass campervan campsite (medium, maximum 6 metres)

Liked: Lovely location, clean and pretty views surrounded by rolling hills. 30/40 minute walk to the beach via a scenic route.

Disliked: 20p charge for a shower which is very little I appreciate but when you’ve already paid a decent amount for a pitch it seems such a small silly amount to charge, just give them for free?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The 20p system works for us as it stops our showers being left on, we always have plenty of 20p's in our shop.

Powered grass campervan campsite (medium, maximum 6 metres)

Liked: So much to like....Great pitch, very clean campsite, amazingly friendly welcome, beautiful walk through the valley into Lyme Regis.

Disliked: Being picky only as we loved this campsite but would be great to get rid of the 20p for showers , would rather just add the cost onto the pitch price in today's more cash-less world.

Powered grass campervan campsite (medium, maximum 6 metres)

Liked: The site is set over different levels which makes it very attractive. The pitch size was huge. Very peaceful. Toilets and showers very clean. Wardens were really nice. There is a little shop however didn't use it so unsure of the selection. Food vans arrived on different nights with different offerings. Walk yo the pub is downhill (approx 5 mins). Lovely 40 min walk which was pretty flat to Lyme Regis. Would definatt stay again. 10/10

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 Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (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.
