Berries Farm Camping is a small eco-friendly family-run campsite, located in the heart of West Dorset Countryside. We are situated at the top of Lyme Regis, on the A3052. Set amongst 5 acres of picturesque farmland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and within walking distance to Charmouth, which is part of the World Heritage Coast. With your own spacious camping spot, enjoy the panoramic views of the rolling hills of Lyme Regis. We provide generous grass only pitches for tents and camper-vans. These are unpowered sites. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate for caravans. Nearby attractions include the Jurrasic Coast, quaint market towns and local pubs serving farm fresh food and local seafood. Enjoy River Cottage HQ for a cookery course and get a taste of local cuisine. Also near by is Lyme Regis driving range, golf course and foot-golf. If you fancy exploring Lyme Regis, take the park and ride which is within a short walking distance South of the farm. If walking is more your thing, there is an abundance of local footpaths including the south west coastal path, with Lyme Regis just 1 mile away. Our amenities include flushing toilets and hot water shower blocks. A designated space is avaliable for washing dirty dishes. Be advised that only cold water is provided. BBQ's are permitted; however, they must raised off the ground to prevent damage to the grass. Bricks will be provided for this purpose. Please note that campfires are now allowed at this time. Please feel free to bring your pets, but bear in mind there will be sheep on the farm.

Amazing stay with beautiful views. The tent is equipped with everything you need and beds are comfortable. The environment is very calm and pizza night really is a success, not only the pizza's are very nice but you get to know the other people staying - amazing if you have kids as they start playing together. We had an amazing time and would definitely return and recommend the stay.

We had a lovely time camping on Sam's land. It was great to be next to the river frome - the kids had a great time with the rubber rings and our paddleboard. The compost toilets were really well kept and the always hot showers a real luxury. Would definitely come again!

Great location and great host too! Very welcoming and good information provided on site and walks etc. Toilets and showers kept clean and tidy but would be very busy if the site was fuller so a few more would be good. Lovely walk down into Lyme Regis across fields and along river but steep walk back so bus is recommended! Would highly recommend and will look to stay again! 👍

Very relaxed, easy going campsite. Uncrowded. Lovely river swim.

The 36 acres of fields, gardens and woodland that surround Trewan Hall make for an idyllic place to pitch up.

The site was an absolutely perfect place for a relaxed and simple camping trip. It felt very family-friendly and safe in every respect. The site was really nice, and had great showers and loos, and other facilities in great condition and easy to find. The walk to the village was really nice and marked very well for those who get lost easily :) Ideal, thank so much for helping to make such a lovely holiday.

We had a great time at Frome Meadow. Great no nonsense campsite. Hay bales in the middle of the field were a hit with the kids as was inner-tubing down the river. Well located for some lovely beaches too!!

Loved this campsite so much! It's beautiful, lots of space, really safe. Very dog friendly. Has so much to offer. One of my favourites from this stay. I stayed in the campervan, no electic hook up. Hot showers, well stocked shop. didnt get to use the pool as it closed at 6pm daily (that's the one thing I'd change!) and I was off on a course each day until 6pm. Pool opening times aside I'd give it 10/10
