  • 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 the thumbs up for its lovely spot, cleanliness, and sound staff. Reviewers rave about the spotless facilities, including a good hot shower. A stroll along the river to Lyme Regis is a big plus. Pitches are usually well-spaced. A few folk thought the showers and Wi-Fi dear, and some had bother with soft pitches or close neighbours.

Electric grass campervan pitch (medium, maximum 6 metres)

Liked Great site, clean and spacious facilities, nice little shop, 20p for showers is a first, but you get 4 mins which is longer than you think but just don’t forget cash.

Disliked All great apart from it’s the most I’ve paid for one night.

Caroline W.

Electric grass campervan pitch (medium, maximum 6 metres)

Liked The pitch we had was great - high up with lovely views. Quiet and with good facilities. Lovey walk to Lyme Regis.

Disliked ...our friends on the other hand were initially put on a terrible pitch then moved to another that was a little better but it was at the bottom where it was shady, cold, dank and damp as opposed to the light airy, warmer pitch at the top of the hill where we were. Pitch is everything with this site! Also, thought a tad expensive @£44 a night - jeez what's happening to camping in this county - far too expensive!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, some guests prefer shade especially with the recent hot weather. Our prices are comparable to other sites on The Jurassic coast and we did not put up our prices this year.

Nice peaceful spot.

Sally J.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked We liked this site for its unique pitch locations, each one a little different because the site is divided up by vegetation and by landscape. The pitches are level, but the site itself is on a bit of a slope. Good shower and toilet facilities. Good shop providing rolls etc for the morning if you need them. (Shop opens at 9). Wifi not so good on lower pitches; we had to walk up the slope to get good reception.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are really pleased that you liked the layout of our park and the terraced pitches. We hope you can visit us again soon.

Made welcome by the staff and pitches large enough with good outlook.

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.
