FANTASTIC campsite for a family! Whats all the fuss about 20pence for a shower? We love it here! It's safe,quiet,friendly, well kept with all the facilities that you need! Lovely peaceful views all around and really nice owners. This is our third year to the site with another fortnight booked in for the summer hols!

Nice site, my main niggle was the grass being uncut and very weedy, on dewy mornings and after rain the longish grass was a nuisance when using a tent and tying the dog up outside, when we stayed last year we had the same problem with the shop, and the showers were sometimes too hot, less time and less money for them would be an improvement. we are used to using club sites and found the cost quite high for few facilities, but enjoyed our week.

We have just returned having spent 5 nights at this site; our first family camping holiday. It was a very enjoyable experience and the campsite was very good as far as we were concerned.
Yes 20p for a 4 minute shower seems a bit stingy but to be honest 4 minutes is actually a lot longer than we found we needed and metering the supply seems a reasonable way of preventing waste (and profit loss) by less considerate campers. Facilities were clean and modern and the site was quiet and well located for our needs (2 small children = beaches, beaches, beaches)
The shop is a dissapointment as it stocks very little but there is a large Tesco's at Axminster a couple of miles away.
We would definitely visit again.

Just got back from this site; I couldn't agree more with the preceding reviews. Whatever problems there were last year have clearly been sorted out by the friendly and helpful owners. A fine campsite in a stunning setting.
We had a great stay, helped by perfect weather. Nothing to add to previous comments, no complaints whatsoever. The only suggestion I'd make is that the shop could easily hold a greater range of stock, not necessarily of the perishable variety if that's an issue.

Spent a night at Hook Farm last week as part of a walking trip. The site was busy but basically well-managed by friendly staff, and the layout encouraged a friendly atmosphere. Showers were metered but OK, though washing up space was a bit limited for so many people so you had to choose your moment. The on-site shop sold fresh bottled milk - really useful for us as we didn't have a vehicle. The pub nearby had slightly disappointing food (everything with chips) and atmosphere, but was handy for cheap grub and had Sky sports on a large screen TV!

We booked this site only the week before going to stay as it was only a last minute decision to go camping. All that previous good weather had swayed us but unfortunately for us, our few days turned out to be a bit damp!! Having read the other reviews for this site I have to admit that I was expectng the worst but despite others being so disappointed we found the site to be absolutely fine.
The site wasn't completely full when we stayed and we had a great pitch at the top of the field overlooking the fabulous views down the valley (pity it was obscured by the weather for some of our stay). The facilities were clean (despite the rain), in working order and didn't seem overstretched as there was plenty of loo paper - as someone who has camped in France and has always had to take their own this was great!
Admittedly you did have to pay 20p for a shower but my four and a half minutes were lovely and hot. The water for the washing-up sinks was hot too and the sinks even had plugs. The shop had most things that one would need (apart from dog food which we managed to forget!) but it wasn't far to go if you needed more than the basics. As mentioned in previous reviews there was a small play area but there were plenty of grassy areas available for people to play ball games and the like. The play area was really only for the smaller children athough my two aged 9 & 12 enjoyed it all the same.
Even though the weather was not the best, we made the walk from the campsite down the riverside path into Lyme Regis - it was lovely and would probably have been even prettier if the sun had shone, but never mind, that's what camping in this country is all about.
To sum up I would say that this was a good site and I would go back. It's definitely not an "all singing and dancing" site but I think that would spoil it. It's just a nice site, set in beautiful countryside near to the pretty town of Lyme Regis. Go for the peace and quiet, the lovely walks and the fossils.

What a fantastic site and location, with very caring owners that make all the difference. Wonderful views from the top field, and lovely peaceful atmosphere, very well maintained and very clean toilet / shower blocks.
The owner makes every effort to cater for your requirements, ie private and suitable for small children, and exceeded all expectations - The small shop also has the personal touch and you can pre-book your bakery orders!
We enjoyed ourselved so much we went back again!

We came to this site after having spent a week on a very windy and quite ordinary campsite in Cornwall. To come here for our 2nd week was an absolute joy! It's a beautifully quaint and well set-out campsite with fantastic tiered levels. We were given almost exclusive use of the topmost field so had more room than we knew what to do with!
The facilities of the site were excellent, the brilliant new bathroom block provides many generously-sized showers and toilets with endless hot water. The only thing I would say is don't even bother trying to go the their on site shop because they're rarely there when they said they would be. They do an ice pack freezing service but it was almost impossible to get at them as they are kept in the shop.

Travelled 320 miles to site .On arrival was met by a very polite and helpful owner. We were shown to a large pitch with excellent views.
The shower block and washing facilities. were very big and spotless.
Found the local people very friendly . There was also alovely walk from the camp site to Lyme Regis along the river.
All in all a very worthwhile journey.

This was our second visit to Hook Farm and it was every bit as enjoyable the second time around. This time we came with another family and although it was a bank holiday and fully booked we had plenty of space and it never felt overcrowded.
(When we came off season last time it was almost like the kind of non-campsite, tent all alone in a field stuff I did as a child, which was wonderful.)
The landscape and views are stunning; point the front flap of your tent in the right direction and you'll begin each day with a spectacular vista. The woodland walk into Lyme is also a real joy. Lyme itself is an excellent base for a holiday in the South West, with a good mixure of cultural/historical interest, outstanding natural beauty and plenty of places for children (or adults) to romp around.
Even though the site was busy, I only had to queue for the shower once, and that was just a matter of minutes. The ground can be stony in places, but you can always get your tent pegs in with a hearty whack of a mallet/shoe/log.
This is a family run site, and the owners couldn't be more helpful. We'll definitely be visiting again.
