 Love this site. Rural yet walkable into Lyme Regis - especially good following riverside walk into town. Great views from top field across the valley. Shop basic but redeemed by croissants and pain au chocolat for breakfast. Relaxed but quiet atmosphere on site. If you have children, be aware that play area is very small. However, play area in village of Uplyme at bottom of hill is fine. Extremely helpful owners. Pub in walking distance if you need one.

We stayed for 3 nights on two pitches. The pitch was a good size and level despite being on a hilly site as it has been very well terraced and landscaped. The ground is quite hard and rocky in places, you might want to bring a few heavy duty pegs just in case. We backed on to small brook / stream, but there is a large bank and it proved no danger for our children ( 3 and 7).
The toilet blocks are excellent, always clean and never too busy. A family room would be a nice touch as some sites have though.
There is a small shop with the essentials and a small children's play area. Otherwise its a nice simple site - just the way we like it.
The area is lovely, really enjoyed looking for fossils at nearby Charmouth and Lyme Regis is a nice seaside town.
We would definitely recommend this well run quiet site and will put it in our books if we visit the area again.

Excellent site, level pitches with plenty of space for tent and large car with lovely views
Kids had loads of room to play and the site is very safe for young families
The toilets and shower block were clean and even though the site was full we never had to wait for the showers
Owners were very friendly and helpful
This was our first camping trip and hook farm made it a sucessful one

Booked by phone as their email system was struggling. Had a large pitch and was impressed by the new toilet block which had excellent facilities. The campsite is superb and would suit a no-frills camper. It is quiet and peaceful despite being based on a large site. Went mackerel fishing off a boat in Lyme (adults £8, kids £5) and cooked the delicious catch on the BBQ - fantastic fun and food!

Stayed in the top field this time (4th visit) and pleased with the hedging work undertaken by owner. Wider views and bigger vista down the Uplyme valley. Hot showers (20p for 5 Min's) worked every time and were marvellous. Clean loos. Noticed grass is more established now on levelled pitches and thickening up. Still a bit stony in places so bring extra pegs and go in more shallow! New office under construction on way in so the site is under constant development to make things better and does not get in the way of your day to day activities. Impressed with the clear notice of conduct given on arrival with an 11pm quiet policy - nice to see sites setting standards and imposing them! Site owners as ever very friendly and willing to help.

A 5 day visit with 2 families. The site was absolutely great even tho it was full over the bank holiday weekend. Our pitch was large( the "army pitch!", with privacy. There is a lovely riverside walk down into Lyme, that avoids the main road, through woods and wild garlic! The owners, Adrian and Larraine, and the warden were very polite and helpful at all times. top marks there!. Any problems were sorted immediately.
Although the shop has limited stock, the foundations are being dug for the new shop and reception block. There is a village shop 5 minutes walk away as well. Initially we were concerned at the number of showers and cubicles in the loos, but over the entire week, we never ran out of hot water or had to queue. (20p for us blokes was enough for a shower, the ladies were using 40p though!). The toilet blocks were cleaned every day and any mess that was made by inconsiderate campers was cleared immediately when reported. Well done! We'll definitely be back to this site.

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.
