What customers say
This adult-only campsite is praised for its peaceful, natural setting with beautiful views and spacious, private pitches. Facilities are consistently described as clean and well-maintained, including hot showers and a communal fridge/freezer. Its location is ideal for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Some minor points raised include narrow access lanes and occasional maintenance needs in facilities.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
It was a pretty place but the facilities let it down
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Beautiful, scenic site
Peaceful
Fire pit in each pitch
Our pitch had a picnic table
Trees created nice seclusion for each pitch
Fridge freezer available
Electric available
Disliked No one on site if needed
Toilets and showers - full of cobwebs and spiders, they could do with a full on clean and touch up. I didn't realise how scared of spiders I was until I needed the toilet. Showers temperamental

Book in, you will not regret it.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked There is nothing not to like about Hobby Farm! The layout is sensitive to privacy, is full of natural peace and beauty, and is a glorious retreat.
Such added extras and clean loos, showers and washing up area are appreciated, as are sockets for charging and a sizeable fridge/freezer to make camping easier.
The emphasis is clearly on quiet quality rather than numbers and overstretched areas.
Thank you so much Hobby Farm

Excellent site with clean facilities.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really lovely, peaceful site. Well thought through. Nestled in the countryside with a lot of nature around.
Disliked It's a tiny point that so many campsites do...only hook in the shower! Makes balancing towel, wash bag, clothes tricky.

Rural, simple, enjoyable site, perfect back to basics camping!
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Overall lovely site, beautiful location, sufficient facilities for the size of the site, even though it was full didn’t have to wait for anything at any point, always hot water for showers and washing up. About as close to wild camping as you can get but with all the convenience still there. Beautiful circular walk to Charmouth beach and just generally stunning surroundings! Will definitely be back, really enjoyed staying here!
Disliked A few small issues let the site down slightly (nothing that would stop me coming back but small things that would make the site 10/10)
A good clean of the buildings the facilities are in would be a huge improvement, while the actual loos and such are clean the sheer amount of old cobwebs and detritus was a bit of a disappointment, a quick whip round with a brush could massively improve this!
Some of the showers could benefit from some simple TLC, doors putting back on runners, new shower head holders, just little things to make them better to use.
And a loo roll holder would be great rather than the rolls getting wasted ending up in the sinks wet because they’ve fallen off the various random perches people are trying to use.
