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: peaceful, rural camping with stunning views. Eona's a legend! Close to Lyme Regis. Basic but clean facilities (flushing loos & outdoor shower now!). Ground can be stony, one toilet can be busy. Great value, many want to return.

Liked We had a wonderful weekend at NewHaye farm! We brought tents and a campervan, and the grown up children 🤣. Facilities were simple and easy to use. The host is the host with the mostest! Everyday, she would check on us, making sure everything was ok with a huge smile! Super approachable and friendly!

Thank you so very much for having us!

Unpowered grass and earth tent or trailer tent site

Liked Very relaxing, back to nature feel etc. Eona relaxed & made me feel v welcome.

Disliked Main toilet block not working so only a composting toilet (more civilised than it sounds) & WC at the house available.
I was only there for a quick overnight stay do didn’t try the showers.
Other campers seemed happy with the setup.

David B. 1 review

Unpowered grass and earth tent or trailer tent site

Liked There was an email sent by Eona (the owner) when booking which covered the details of the site and any particular issues. The site itself is very near to Lyme Regis and the coast but quiet and with clear night skies.

I appreciated the hot shower which is open to the sky and Eona keeps the site clean daily and usually stops to have a friendly chat when around.

Disliked It can be easy to miss the turning for the site from the main road so best to use what3words which is sent in the welcome email.

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).
