Primitive grass campsite
Liked A truly relaxing experience, so much space and such a tranquil place to stay, we really enjoyed it and hoping to come back for more days. Nigel welcomed us with all info and we also enjoyed borrowing a fire pit and wood for a proper starry night with corn on the cob!

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Wonderfully peaceful and scenic campsite, with plenty of space between pitches and well-maintained facilities. Great location with plenty of well-signposted trails nearby - including a very pleasant walk to Lyme Regis. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. Would happily stay again.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked The campsite itself is well maintained, small with lots of space between pitches. Facilities were good and well maintained. The owner was really helpful and friendly, they offer wood for £10 a bag. Nice views and loved the cricket sounds from the long grass.
Disliked For me personally, it was too close to the road and it took away from the peaceful nature of the campsite as I could hear the road noise quite clearly. This might not bother other people but it's the only reason I wouldn't stay again.

One of our top favourite sites to visit for a weekend.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked A real little gem of a camping site. A huge big field with plenty of random mown pitches in amongst long grass. Choose between shady or full sun with beautiful views across the valley. Basic, rustic, spotlessly clean facilities, unlimited hot water and with the added use of a fridge freezer and electric sockets for charging/ hair drying. Friendly, welcoming owners who visit the site regularly checking everyone is happy. What more can I say? For a simple, no frills site you won’t find better. We will return. Thank you Penn Farm Campsite.
Disliked Absolutely nothing.
