Visitor image of the massive tent set up next to the river

Simple dog-friendly site with a peaceful stream and basic facilities
A 20-minute drive from Charmouth and 25 minutes from Lyme Regis
Large field for dogs to be let off their leads and a communal firepit

What a peaceful place this is, with a gently-flowing stream and heaps of greenery – and an excellent base for hunting for fossils on the Jurassic coast or sauntering over sections of the South West Coast Path. A 20-minute drive from Charmouth and 25 minutes from Lyme Regis, Clapton Farm Caravan and Campsite is the sort of spot where evenings can be spent chatting to other likeminded folk around the communal firepit… In the daytime, you might want to scour the coast at Lyme Regis and Charmouth for fossils (or perhaps for the finest fish and chips you’re able to get your hands on). West Bay is also half an hour’s drive away for surfing, scuba diving and other watersports. Close to the Somerset and Dorset border, this is a central location if there ever was one. It’s also a friendly patch – canine companions have a large field where they can be let off their leads to play, just over the stream. The friendly hosts can often be found around the firepit in the eve or across the road in the farmhouse – they say, if you need anything, just ask. They’re sure to point you towards all the hot spots… This could include weaving between the rhododendron and the thick trunks of the Wayford Woods, 25 minutes’ walk from the site. Any picnics can be put together with goodies from the supermarkets in Crewkerne, five minutes’ drive away

Liked: The site itself was nice and quiet, would be more than happy to use the site again when we are back in the area.

Disliked: Unfortunately the road isn't and the railway is quite active, the worst thing was the weather (no can't blame anyone about that) persistently rained,

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Greeted as we arrived. Lovely clean campsite, fab location and although next to the main road traffic noise was not a problem.
Stream, ducks, geese, swing, hammock, fire circle.....little touches making the campsite stand out and delightful!

1 toilet and shower, all thoughtful thoughtful out with pegs, etc for female and men's. Slight wait for the toilet if someone is showering but did spot porter-loos on the back field so had we stayed a little longer would of used those.

Night lighting around the site very enchanting.

Loved the washing up was inside - great on a wet day!
Access to washing machine too - bonus.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Such a beautiful campsite and a warm and friendly greeting by the owners. There were fire pits and picnic tables available that we were invited to bring onto our pitch.
Having read an earlier review we wondered what the toilet facilities were going to be like. It's true that there are only 2 loos but they were great. A whole toilet, basin and shower in each hut so well worth the wait. And actually it's a small site so there wasn't much of a wait.
We just loved it.

Disliked: Nothing

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Great location to visit the many National Trust sites located within a few miles of this small site. Friendly owners and very picturesque with a small stream forming part of the boundary, ducks and geese can be seen at the top of the site and are friendly and thankfully not noisy. Overall I liked this site and with the continual improvements planned over the course of the next few years I'm sure we'll be back.

Disliked: Amenities are sparce with only one toilet with a shared shower for men and another block for women. Road noise is a little heavy for light sleepers. £30 per week for electric hookup was steep.

Local attractions

Lyme Regis (25 minutes’ drive) may be a haven for fossil hunters – and those seeking to learn more about the old sea creatures that once populated the sea – but it’s also well-suited to watersports like windsurfing or visits to the marine aquarium. There are also guided fossil hunting walks in both Lyme Regis and Charmouth (20 minutes) for newbies to that sort of thing. For some simply splendid walks across the coast, sublime sea views and more possible fossils, head for Black Ven (25 minutes) and Stonebarrow Hill (25 minutes). Other scenic stretches and points of interest include Abbotsbury (40 minutes), where there’s a colony of nesting swans, and Seaton (35 minutes), a fishing town with a tramway and watersports options. Inland doesn’t disappoint either, especially for those who are looking for more outdoor activities. Tackle the Blackdown Hills AONB (35 minutes) on horseback, foot or bicycle and make your way to the Axe Valley Wildlife Park (25 minutes) to see animals like chipmunks, zebras and flamingos.
