Hobby farm was an excellent find for our first weekend in our campervan. Easy to find, easy to book and self check in and out. Great, quiet and small location with lovely views, yet only 5 minutes off the main road, 10 to the beach, 15 to Lyme Regis. Facilities are good - Clean loos, hot showers and good washing up facilities. The site also has some fire pits to grab and if you forget to bring logs they'll do you a bag for a fiver. Spots for tents/camper vans are nicely spaced out, and although there were only a few others there, even at max capacity this would still be spacious as it's well laid out. WE WILL BE BACK!
Fantastic place.

Things to do on site and in the Bridport area
Just ten minutes from the beautiful Jurrasic Coast, the site is ideally situated for days out at the beach. Some of the most popular nearby include Charmouth Beach (10 minutes), West Bay Beach Dorset (15 minutes) and Beer Beach (35 minutes).
Lyme Regis is also just ten minutes away, full of wonderful seaside attractions for you to explore. Dinosaurland Fossil Museum is full of fascinating exhibitions, from spectacular marine fossils to dinosaur models and animal skeletons. You can also head to the harbour and book yourself on one of the many boat trips, whether you're looking for a fishing expedition or a thrill-seeking rib ride.
For something a little different, head to Seaton (25 minutes) and enjoy a ride on the Seaton Tramway. This old-style mode of transport takes you through the Axe Valley alongside the River Axe, great for spotting wildlife and sitting back and admiring the scenery.
