 We stayed here for a weekend and was lucky that the weather was very nice.
Campsite was easy to find and a very friendly and helpful welcome.
Local pub was few mins walk which is always good.
Nice little shop which was open almost all day while we were there.
Shower blocks were clean and tidy and 20p for just over 5 mins with lots of hot water.
Campsite was nice and quiet in the evenings.
Nice pitches with plenty of space around each one.
Lyme regis is well worth a visit.
Would definitely go back again

We camped at the site on May bank holiday, and had a fantastic time. The site was full, however the pitches are well spaced. The shop was very good, the toilet block although not many showers was clean and just the job.
The owner was very friendly and helpful, and maintained the site to a high level.
There was a local pub 5mins walk away which is always good, and there was a beautiful 40mins walk to Lyme regis from the site.
Lyme regis itself was a typical small fishing town, which is always nice to visit (and again had some great pubs with good beer and food). We went biking and walking in the area, and would recommend this camp site and the area to anyone thinking of a short or long term break.
We will definatley visit the campsite again, as it has everything you can want for an enjoyable camping holiday.

Chose this campsite as it was very close to the Harbour of Lyme bay, about 2 mile away. The campsite itself is very welcoming. It's terraced pitches make you feel you have your very own part of Dorset overlooking the gorgeous views.
The owner, Adrian, is very helpful, both when pre booking and whilst there. Facilities are new and always kept clean. Even though the site was full when I visited, there was never a queue for a wash or shower.
Lovely place to visit and would suit both tourers or campers. Will definitely re-visit.

Have just come back from Hook Farm. We were last at the site about 2 years ago before the new shop was built. What a great site. Though quite full, with all of us that braved the predicted bad weather, the pitches are set out in small terraces and with a nice selection of trees and shrubs as boundaries that make it feel private. Great welcome from the folks that run the site, well kept grounds, clean shower block and a great location. I'd recommend the walk into Lyme Regis over the fields by the old mill. It's about 30mins (or more with kids) and takes you into town past some good fish and chip shops for supper on the seafront. Overall a sound site and one to recommend without reservation.

Visited this site for the weekend of the May bank hol for our very first family camping trip. We chose Hook Farm due to the reviews on this site and it was really great. Even though all available pitches were booked, the site did not feel crowded & short wait for shower (5mins) at peak time but never a queue for a loo!
Very helpful & friendly owner & warden as well as a good shop.
Small play area for children & very considerate fellow campers so you could get a good night sleep once you had watched the sun go down!
It really helped that the (20p) showers also had an area to get dressed so you can take the children in as well without a squash.
Some great views from the higher pitches & lots to do in the area - don't miss the Donkey Sanctuary (nr Sidmouth)!

We've just come back from an amazing few days away. Stayed at Hook Farm campsite. What a view!We had a pitch in the top field, which was adults only. This was slightly sloped and was fun in the mornings trying to climb out of your sleeping bag without falling over, and the ground was slightly rocky once you get 2inches in with your pegs but that was the worse that I could say about this site.
As a bank hioliday it was busy but it still felt peaceful, and the pitches are so large that you don't feel that close to everyone else. The view from this site is fantastic and the sunsets over the valley are worth every penny.
Lyme Regis itself is as always a great place to visit, there is loads to do , fantastic coast, great pubs (recommend the Royal Standard in Lyme Regis), beautiful hilly countryside walks, and the loudest bird song I've heard anywhere for years.
The showers are very hot, but do the job and 20p is more than worth it for a fresh start to the day. BBQ's are allowed and this made the colder evenings a bit warmer, there's a great shop in Axeminster Complete Meats and there's also the Riverside Cottage store even thought his is a bit more expensive the meat there is brilliant.
I'd also recommend a trip to Lyme Bay Cider farm, Charmouth for a Jurassic coast fossil hunting expedition and great kite flying, Seatown for a perfect pub lunch, and Beer for a lovely coastal village.
We loved it so much here that we're booking again for later in the year and will be going back to Hook farm for many years.

Very helpful campsite 'Ranger' especially to us as Motorhome 1st time outers. Learned far more about the van from him than from the dealers who sold it to us!
Facilities fine: showers hot but gents hand-drier cold. Nice views and lovely walk to Lyme Regis. Local pub no good as do not accept mans best friend.

We all (4) went over easter this year and what a great time we had. The camp site had some of the best views. There is a small play area for the chidren and the people are realy nice and helpful. The walks from here are realy good. Lyme regis is a nice place.
It was quite cold over the easter weekend and the shower block was very clean, but had no heating, which meant the floor was very cold under foot & you needed to get dry / dressed quickly.
All in all we all had a great time and would go again.

My family & I have just returned from a 5 night stay at Hook Farm. I have mixed feelings about the site and these are as follows,
The good points:
Beautiful location with lovely views, Quiet site, Generous sized pitch, Shower / toilet block clean and tidy, polite staff. If you are after a nice quiet site with great scenary then this site ticks all the boxes.
The not so good points:
Paying for shower was not a problem but the fact that it took one and a half minutes until the water was warm enough to use and the water being on a five minute timer did make me feel agrieved. However I was refunded for the two showers where this happened.
No heating in shower block (really noticable as the weather was really cold. Also no ceiling which meant that cold air was able to circulate the whole building from outside.)
Hand dryer in gents toilet block not blowing warm air (only cold and not effective)
Footpath running through the site crosses grass plateau where two pitches are disected by it.
The shop was closed during the length of our stay. In fairness to Terry who was running the park at the time, he said that if we found him he would open the shop for us. As there were only three pitches being used when we arrived, I can see Terrys point but I think It would of made more sense to open the shop at a set time for prehaps 1/2 hour each day so that if we wanted to purchase items we could have done so. There were times when I looked for Terry but could not find him.
Also be aware that if you require to use the chemical disposal point then you will need to pay a £5 deposit for the use of a key.
Lyme regis and surrounding area is very picturesque. The river walk to the sea front was also enjoyable.
All in all the site is set in a good location however we felt that some of the ammenities were lacking.
I chose this site on the strength of other visitors reviews and must say I was slightly dissapointed with the park in its current state. However the park has potential and is at the moment still being upgraded.

We stayed slightly out of season, so the site was very peaceful and half empty. Perhaps the two well-maintained toilet blocks get rather busy when the campsite if completely full?
You can hear the main road several hundred metres away but other than that, it was a very quiet campsite with no rowdiness or late night noise.
The views are really good over the surrounding hills. The little pub at the end of the road has a nice cosy atmosphere and ofcourse Lyme Regis is an easy ten minutes drive away.
The owners were friendly and welcoming. I would stay here out of season again.

Owner Adrian was very enthusiastic and helpful when we telephoned to book for three nights over the Easter Weekend. He was not concerned when we called on Friday morning to say that we would not be arriving that night after all. I said that we would pay for the night, of course, but he told me not to worry (and he didn't charge for the Friday). Good website and easy to find.
On site, Adrian and Terry were very jolly and helpful.
The facilities are excellent - lots of hot water in the newly refurbished showers (a generous and more-than-ample 5 minutes for 20p), very clean loos - lots of them.
We had a great Saturday evening meal at the local Talbot Arms pub (five minutes walk from the campsite). Most tables were reserved - we arrived early and managed to getr a table before 7.00am.
Lovely location, under five minutes drive into Lyme Regis.
Quiet, clean campsite.
We will be back!

We stayed for 4 nights at Hook Farm and it was great. Nice big pitch, hot and clean toilet block and showers and a very useful little shop for morning milk, bacon, bread and pastries. Adrian, the owner and Terry his assistant were more than helpful and always cheerful. The walk down to Lyme Regis goes through the woods alongside a stream and brings you right out in the middle of Lyme and then you can catch the 31 bus back (we did this three times!), the children loved it. The pub at the bottom of the hill is ok, we only stopped there for a drink with the children. There are some great beaches around, we only visited Branscombe and Sidmouth bit were very impressed with both. On our last day Adrian let us pack up and then for a small fee we left our packed car at Hook Farm whilst we went down into Lyme for the day, which was really helpful. We will definitely return to Hook Farm in the future.

Have spent two short holidays at this campsite this year. One was a five night stay in June when it rained everyday and the other was a 3 night stay over the August Bank Holiday. We came away on both occasions with very positive views and feelings about this campsite.
The site is well laid out with terraced pitches of varying sizes. Some have a degree of cover/hedging around the edge of the pitches. The upper pitches in particular have lovely views.
At night the site is very dark, allowing a great view of the night sky. We saw shooting stars and satellites whizzing overhead as well as uncountable numbers of stars.
During our second stay, the site was full up but, thanks to the thoughtful layout, did not feel overcrowded. The owners are very clear about the main site rules and go through them with you on arrival, which we thought was very helpful. They make it quite clear that there should be no undue noise after 11pm. In fact there was rarely any noise after 10pm.
It was still possible to sit up, having several night-caps, late into the night and enjoy some sparkling repartee, without making too much noise about it.
We liked the fact that they point out the boundaries of your pitch. It felt good to know this and stops one feeling annoyed when neighbouring campers pitch their tents too close, as can happen on sites with a ‘pitch it where you like’ attitude. The campsite’s attitude towards dogs is great. They make it clear on their website that certain types of dog are not welcome and enforce the rule about keeping dogs on a lead.
The facilities were fine. The toilet/shower block we used was clean and well maintained. The shop sold enough basic foodstuffs etc to get by. We do not expect campsites to have a mini-supermarket etc as we find that we can travel to decent supermarkets quite easily.
The children’s play area was very basic but it gave the children a place to congregate.
Our pitch was right next to the play area and kids being kids, it was sometimes a bit noisy but that was not a problem. This campsite will suit anyone looking for a quiet, family-orientated holiday. If you want to camp in a caravan big enough to sleep a football team and have a social club to drink in, with noisy arcades, games machines and stinky take-away shops selling poorly cooked food then this is not the site for you. We had booked a table at the Talbot Arms, (at the bottom of Gore Lane) for 7.30pm on the night of our arrival. The pub telephoned us late that afternoon to say they could not allow the table to remain empty from 6.30pm when they started doing food until 7.30 when we were due to arrive. We felt this showed the pub to be interested in meeting their needs rather than meeting the needs of customers and we did not set foot in there for the entire stay. We spent our money elsewhere. This is a great campsite and we will definitely return next year.

We stayed at Hook farm for a lovely 4 nights in April. I have to say that the campsite is excellent. The pitches are marked out unobtrusively but with plenty of space for both a car and a tent and room to cook etc. We were on the top field, which is slightly sloped although this didn't cause us any problems.
The toilet block is fantastic and obviously quite new. Everything was very clean and there were more than enough toilets and 3 showers (I didn't have to wait once). In the shower cubicles, there is enough space to change easily and you don't have to worry about splashing your clothes. It was 20p for about 5 minutes (the timer made it easy to see how much longer you had left). I believe the men's shower gave you less time - it was explained that they are closer to the tank and so got hot water for longer, whereas it takes longer for the women's water to heat up. However, the temperature of all of my showers was perfect from the start.
The area is beautiful and an easy drive to nearby Lyme Regis (or an even more pleasant walk). Just watch out for those hills! The pub at the bottom of the hill served lovely food although BE WARNED! Neither the campsite nor the pub would take cards and we had barely enough cash for a meal. There is one cash point in the village - in the garage, although it charges you and the garage wasn't even open when we tried. (the campsite was very amenable and allowed us to pay them after we had made a trip to Lyme Regis.) So make sure you take plenty of cash with you!
All in all, an excellent stay and I can't wait to go back!

My wife and I have just returned from this site after 3 weeks holiday.
It is every bit as good as it was last year (see previous review) except that this year the reception/shop is completed and running, stocking most of the things you require, bread, milk, biscuits etc.
The site had suffered slightly from the bad weather and when we arrived on 30/06/07 the bottom part of the site was closed off due to flooding, but this lasted only a few days when the rain stopped the site dried out very quickly. The facilities on the site are still in good order, I noticed that the hot water now lasts through the early morning rush, and both of the toilet blocks are kept clean and tidy. There is a pub at the bottom of the lane from the site - The Talbot Arms - which serves food, which whilst good, did not appeal to our tastes. We found the Hunters Lodge, on the A35 about a mile away, far superior. Excellent food, local beers, first class service and comprehensive wine list!
