  • Family-run site 12 miles from the Jurrassic Coast and Lyme Regis
  • Beaches in Charmouth and Lyme Regis around 20 minutes' drive away
  • Well-maintained amenities including heated shower block
As most folk know, country rambles are an absolute must when holidaying in Dorset. So it's most fortuitous that Oathill Farm Holiday and Touring Park's lovely location allows for easy access to many human- and dog-friendly walks. Not only do these start straight from the site, they go along public footpaths and a network of country lanes, over bridges and rivers to local beauty spots like Forde Abbey House and Gardens, Pilsdon Pen and Wayford Woods. The family crew at Oathill have been running things in a relaxed, friendly and well-kept manner for years at their neatly landscaped site, set over 10 acres of Dorset countryside, with landscaped ponds and separate designated recreational and dog walking areas. All of this provides a peaceful environment for guests, in keeping with the stunning local Dorset landscapes such as the seaside scenery of Lyme Regis, 12 miles away. The team prides itself on the standard of its facilities and amenities: guests have the use of a heated toilet and shower block, a washing-up area, a washer and a dryer. As there is no shop or café on site, take a 10-minute drive to Crewkerne to grab groceries at the nearest shop.

What customers say

Highly recommended, peaceful, clean, well-kept site with friendly, helpful owners. Mostly large, level, well-spaced pitches. Spotless toilets/showers. Beautiful countryside views, but a car is needed. Note: hard ground for stakes, no Wi-Fi.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Very friendly owners. The plots were a good size, so you didn't feel hemmed in. Beautiful surroundings. Lots of nice walks and convenient for touring around the area, although a car is a necessity if you want to visit towns and villages like Lyme Regis, Sidmouth or Beer. The toilet and shower block was spotless.

Disliked The ground was pretty difficult to get our awning (very sturdy) pegs in to, so bring a strong arm with you!

Will be returning as idea for visiting our grandchildren and coast.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked We liked the site layout and the large pitches. It was very quiet on site as not many people in. The signage at the entrance was great as we were worried we might miss the turning. We had a lovely greeting from the owner who rattled off a lot of information at once. An information sheet would be helpful. Clean facilities.

Disliked We couldn’t see why the toilets had a code, couldn’t see the point of it. No one is going to walk in from the road and use the loo. 😃. It was a bit of a pain to be honest. Have never encountered this before. It was a bit too out of the way for a second trip. It was ok this time as we were meeting friends who picked us up, but although one review said there were footpaths to walk we only found one and I couldn’t get over the stile as recently had a knee replacement.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to put a review and your positive comments.

Just for clarification the reason for the toilet block code is between Crewkerne and Devon we are the only campsite or toilet stop so for our paying guests with have put this code on as we had a lot of people stopping pulling in and using the facilities.

We hope you visit again and would happily give you maps or directions on walks from the site.
