  • Quiet family-run Dorset park 20 minutes’ walk from Lyme Regis
  • Charmouth 10 minutes’ drive; Beer 20 minutes; Chesil Beach 50 minutes
  • On-site shop; pop-up dining in summer; pub five minutes’ walk
Looking for a non-party place? Set in peaceful countryside on the county lines between Devon and Dorset, Hook Farm Campsite in Uplyme should be your first pick. This family-run holiday park is a quiet place designed for small family groups, couples and solo travellers only. Not only that, but it's in pole position for exploring the Jurassic Coast and the pretty seaside town of Lyme Regis (20 minutes’ walk away). 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 on-site 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 away, should have anything you can’t find in the site shop, and there’s also a pub five minutes' walk away serving home-cooked food and real ales. For food fanatics, pop-up food trucks stop by Hook Farm Campsite 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

This park's tranquil, with helpful staff & stunning views. Campers loved the clean facilities, roomy spots, & handy river path to Lyme Regis. Showers cost extra, and WiFi can be patchy. It's a well-kept spot for a chilled break.

Electric grass campervan pitch (medium)

Liked Everything about this place. Quiet, peaceful, clean, excellently kept site.
Great facilities , modern and clean.
The owners were friendly and helpful.
Camp shop basic and a little pricey but that’s the cost of convenience.
I’m sure I read somewhere in advance of my visit that it was a twenty minute walk to Lyme Regis but in reality it was 40 mins
Local pub nice and friendly but I can’t comment on the food

Disliked It seemed a little penny pinching to charge 20p for a shower

Best site we have ever stayed at, will definitely return.

Electric grass campervan pitch (medium)

Liked Everything!! Staff so friendly and accommodating. Cleanliness of whole site. Showers, despite the 20p for 4 minutes is a great idea and they are so worth it. Pitches are not uniformed which is lovely, utilising the best of the views. Dog off lead walk in the field behind, was a great addition. Riverside walk to Lyme Regis, picturesque and not steep, took around 40 minutes. The Talbot Arms pub 5 minutes away- good beer. Food trucks during our stay was lovely idea and meant no cooking! Shop on site does essential when needed and not over priced. Amazing site, will definitely return.

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.
