  • Quiet family-run park five minutes’ drive from Lyme Regis in Dorset
  • Charmouth 10 minutes’ drive; Beer 20 minutes; Chesil Beach 50 minutes
  • Shop and snack bar; pop-up dining in summer; pub 10 minutes’ walk
Set in peaceful countryside on the county lines between Devon and Dorset, Hook Farm Campsite in Uplyme is a peaceful, family-run holiday park in pole position for family adventures along the Jurassic Coast and in the pretty seaside town of Lyme Regis (five minutes’ drive). 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 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) has anything you can’t find in the site shop, and there’s a pub serving home-cooked food and real ales. For food fanatics, pop-up food trucks stop by Hook Farm 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)

Liked: How friendly the staff were (Suzy and Gill) as they were so helpful and incredibly friendly and welcoming. The site itself was very clean and looked like it's very well looked after. The toilet block is also spotless! It's also only a short, and beautiful, walk to Lyme Regis.

Disliked: Honestly nothing at all!

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.
