About Hook Farm
This is a friendly, family-run campsite, great for enjoying some peace and quiet. Guests can enjoy a lovely 30 minute riverside walk down to the historic town of Lyme Regis, located on the Jurassic Coast with a beach, charming harbour and independent shops. There are stunning views from most of the pitches across the valley. There are pitches to suit small, medium and large tents along with spaces for tourers in caravans, trailer tents, campervans and motorhomes. Most of the pitches allow up to up to six guests, with a range of sizes to choose from. You also have the option of a 10 amp electric hook up, perfect for all of those essential appliances. For those wanting to leave the tent pegs at home, opt for a stay in either a cosy bell tent or shepherd's hut. The bell tents can sleep up to four, each coming beautifully furnished with a proper double bed, bedding, and towels, plus the option of two camp beds. Inside you will also find 10 amp electric. A basic camp kitchen with all the essentials is included with a single hob camp stove, charcoal BBQ, camping kettle, kitchen utensils, a sharp knife, chopping board, cafeteria, cool box and more. For al fresco dining, there is an outdoor table and benches. Sitting at the top of the site is the shepherd's hut with beautiful views. This sleeps up to two guests with a double bed, bedding and a kitchen area. Outside is a decking with a BBQ and seating. The site is perfect for single travellers, couples and families, all are welcome. For walkers, there is easy access to both The East Devon Way and The South West Coast Path. Dogs are welcome and Lyme Regis is very dog friendly so don't worry about visiting cafes and restaurants - most places accept dogs. Up to two pups are permitted per pitch. For evenings onsite, you can enjoy a gas or charcoal fire or BBQ and toast marshmallows over the fire pit, just please ensure both are raised from the ground. Please note that wood fires are not permitted.
The site is open between March and November. Bell tents are available from the end of April to mid September.
There are two facility blocks including toilets, showers (20p coin meter), laundry and drying facilities, plus a disabled washroom (though the site is not very appropriate for disabled campers). WiFi is available on a pay per use basis. There is a small onsite shop with fresh bakery treats and food trucks in peak season.
The Talbot Arms pub is also only a five minute walk away. Multiple other eateries can be found in Lyme Regis, just a 30 minute stroll from site.

Had a very enjoyable stay with a welcome email, followed by a phone call on the day to check our ETA. A very friendly welcome and was personally directed to the plot, which was hard standing with grass for an awning or to sit out. The site was terraced and the plots were hedged giving privacy, it was incredibly quiet at night. The facilities were clean and the showers were hot. They were 20p and lasted for 4 mins. It was easy access to Lyme Regis, walking along the path by river Lym. Plenty to see and do in Lyme Regis and the surrounding area. There were lots of beautiful views, very restful. Will definitely stay again when back in the area.

A lovely place to stay. First time in my campervan, I didn't like parking so close to the hedges potentially scratching my vehicle. Also, the light in toilet block was off until very late, so it was difficult to see late after 22:00pm. The staff were very helpful, the showers were very clean and warm. Washing up facilities were good, I will come again.

Hook Farm was the hardest to find of the sites we visited on our tour. It was a little remote with narrow road access. That having been said, the walk into Lyme Regis was delightful and simple to follow. The dog loved the walk, and it takes you traffic free into the centre of town. Having to pay for a shower seemed to be a little stingy, as this site was the most expensive we stayed at. Overall though, worth staying at.
Site's response
Thank you for reviewing your stay. I am not sure which way your sat nav directed you but we located just off the B3165 which is the main bus route into Lyme Regis. We always advise this route in for motorhomes. I am pleased that you enjoyed the river walk down to Lyme Regis.

Things to do on site and in the Lyme Regis area
Lyme Regis is only a 30 minute walk away and offers a beautiful sandy beach, with water sports and boat trips from the harbour. The location is also perfect for those exploring the South West Coast Path.
If you don't feel like walking, the local bus runs from the centre of the village to both Lyme Regis and Axminister. Exeter is only 30 minutes drive and is great for serious shoppers. From Axminister (10 minutes), there is a direct train service to both Exeter and London for more sightseeing and days out.
Being so close to the Jurassic Coast, a spot of fossil hunting is a must. Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre is only ten minutes away where you can see huge fossil displays and guided tours for you to hunt yourself!
Other nearby attractions include:
- Dinosaurland Fossil Museum (5 minutes)
- Axe Valley Wildlife Park (10 minutes)
- River Cottage (10 minutes)
- Seaton Tramway (10 minutes)
- Seaton Beach (15 minutes)
