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.

Liked So peaceful and relaxed.

Disliked The toilet situation probably needs looking at only 1 working toilet is not ideal.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. I am constantly striving to improve the experience while keeping the integrity of the campsite.
I’m so sorry that the 2nd loo was out of action however I had offered the use of a 3rd wc at the house for my campers use to help ease the congestion I will review how many campers I can have at once and amend accordingly so that this doesn’t happen again.

Absolutely lovely site and owner.

Liked Absolutely everything. From the moment that I arrived, Eona couldn't do enough to welcome me. What a genuinely lovely lady. Nothing was to much trouble. The campsite is lovely and quiet. Super clean toilets. A great hot shower and luna the dog walking round saying hello gave such a homely feel. Wonderful time spent there, and i will most definitely be returning!

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).
