We are just a 5-minute drive from the lively seaside town of Lyme Regis, often called the Pearl of Dorset. The town offers a variety of excellent dining options, independent shops, and a stunning beach with views stretching along Lyme Bay. Daily deep-sea and mackerel fishing trips depart from Lyme Regis Harbour throughout the summer. There’s also a vibrant calendar of events and festivals, including Fossil Fest, Lifeboat Week, Regatta and Carnival Week, the Lyme Regis Folk Festival, and the Food Rocks Festival.
Only 5 minutes away is Charmouth, a slightly quieter village with a beautiful beach and scenic walking routes. While there are fewer dining options on the beach, visitors can enjoy a picnic or head into the village center, where pubs, a café, and a fish and chip shop await. The Heritage Centre in Charmouth is a must-visit for anyone interested in fossils or the history of the Jurassic Coast.
Both Lyme Regis and Charmouth are easily accessible on foot from the campsite. A well-marked footpath through fields leads directly to the center of Charmouth and Lyme, offering a chance to explore the stunning West Dorset countryside. The walk takes around 40 minutes and can be steep in places on the return. Alternatively, the local bus route stops just a 10-minute flat walk from the campsite, or you can use the park and ride service, only 2 minutes away by car, which operates throughout the summer.
The market town of Bridport is just a 20-minute drive away and is also well-served by buses. The South West Coast Path is nearby, providing excellent walking opportunities in both directions, only a 5-minute walk from the campsite. From our location, many fami
ly-friendly attractions are easily accessible, including Crealy in Exeter, the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, Pecorama in Beer, Monkey World in Swanage and Seaton Tramway.
We have firepits to hire for £5 per night as well as logs to buy.
Feeling Hungry? Food & Drink at the Campsite
This year was our first year serving food on site. Food is served from the small building next to the washing-up facilities.
Now the season is coming to the end breakfast will be served at the weekends only. Evening food has now finished but will be back for the 2027 season.
There are plenty of takeaways near by which will deliver to the site or lots of places to eat and drink near by, especially in Lyme Regis.
