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.

A note from the site themselves...

Our family have been lucky enough to own Hook Farm since 2017. We love the location which is in walking distance to Lyme Regis but still in the countryside and designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is the perfect spot to explore The Jurassic Coast. We now have so many regular guests who we love to welcome back as well as meeting new people from all over the world.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Medium Electric Grass Campervan PitchesOct 2024

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.

VW-Type Campervan - Medium Electric Grass Campervan PitchesSep 2024

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.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Motorhome PitchesSep 2024

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.
