The bell tent on a quiet corner of the site

  • Quiet Dorset pop-up site 10 minutes’ drive from Jurassic Coast beaches
  • Lyme Regis and the South West Coast Path both 10 minutes’ drive
  • Back-to-basics off-grid hilltop camping with far-reaching views
Sitting on the border of rural Devon and Dorset, Newhaye Farm is a peaceful hilltop site with glorious views over the village of Combpyne to Musbury and Axminster. This family-run spot is also close to Jurassic Coast beaches and the South West Coast Path (both 10 minutes’ drive), but with none of the crowds associated with sites closer to the sea. Entrance to the level camping field is down a farm track; cars can be parked in the parking field, leaving a safe space around the pitches for kids to race around. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and you can walk them on the bridlepath that skirts the site. Facilities cover the essentials, with three flushing loos in a wooden hut, plus an outdoor shower area with one hot electric shower and a cold-water bucket shower – making it more comfortable to camp outdoors, cook on a barbecue and spend quality time with family and friends. Just remember to bring torches and batteries for finding your way around after dark.

What customers say

Newhaye Farm: tranquil, rustic park with amazing views. Friendly hosts, flushing loos & electric shower (some enjoyed the novelty bucket shower). Ground can be stony so bring tough pegs. Small, quiet, close to Lyme Regis. A second loo was handy for some.

Unpowered grass and earth tent or trailer tent site

Liked Price, view, Back to Basics, Quiet, very friendy owner

Disliked A bit tricky to find (Signpost to the farm cannot be seen if arriving from Lyme Regis). Lack of adequate drainage (both Washing up & the toilets) was a bit off-putting.

Local attractions

You're unlikely to run out of things to do around here – for starters, Lyme Regis (10 minutes’ drive) has beaches, fossil foraging, Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, scenic walks along The Cobb, a small aquarium featuring local marine wildlife, rib tours along the Jurassic Coast from the harbour… in short, plenty to keep the kids amused all day. Other family days out could be spent cuddling adorable animals at The Donkey Sanctuary (45 minutes) or inspecting the model railways at Pecorama (15 minutes), where younger kids can try out mini-train rides around the grounds. The whole family can also climb aboard an open-topped vintage tram for a jaunt through Devon countryside on Seaton Tramway (10 minutes). If a little more activity is called for, the kids can scale climbing walls and rope courses at Seal’s Cove Adventure Centre (half an hour), while more adventurous souls have a go on the zipwires zooming over woodland at Tunnel Tree Tops (15 minutes).
