We have 14 pitches, all on a ‘first come first served’ basis. Pitches are marked out with trees on raised banks between pitches for more privacy. Pitches vary in size from around 12 feet wide to 18 feet wide. Pitch also in the middle of the camping field too. We now have a new facilities block with 2 showers and 2 toilets for campers’ use. At one end of the block is a washing up area with hot water and at the other end a ‘desk’ area with two sockets where phones and other electrical equipment can be charged. Also here are two fridges, both with ice boxes. Firepit/BBQs Allowed. 
Dog Friendly.

Otter's Nest 

The campsite is for the use of tents and small campervans (VW T series, Transits etc.) I'm afraid we do not allow caravans or motorhomes.

You are welcome to have fires at the campsite. You can buy wood here, or bring your own. I recommend bringing a small axe. NB: Please don't burn wood with nails or screws in. Please use an existing fire site where possible. The stones on the farm are not suitable for use around the fire as they explode.

There is a stand pipe next to the compost loo. The water on the farm comes from a spring and is agricultural grade, therefore I recommend boiling it before drinking.

There are compost and long drop loos. Please throw a handful of sawdust into the toilet, once you have finished. The toilets are for human waste and paper only.

The compost loos have a pee separator in them. Please try to avoid throwing loo paper and sawdust down them as they will block. Its probably best to accompany small children to ensure they sit well back on the toilet for obvious reasons.

The showers are gas and electric power showers. If there is a problem with them give me a call. Please leave them as you found them.

Dogs are welcome on the camp site, please make sure they are under control at all times. Please make sure you clean up after your dog. I recommend bringing a little shovel so you can hook any poo discreetly into the bottom of the hedge. If you must use little bags please dispose of them yourself, please DO NOT hang them in the hedges, leave them by the toilets or showers or put them in the compost loo.

**Noise**

Please be mindful of noise, both for your fellow campers and my neighbours. It does feel remote here but I do have residential neighbours on all sides and the wind is pretty good at carrying sound a fair distance. I politely request that there is no amplified music.


This is a working farm so please be aware that there may tractors and other machinery going about their business. For this reason please keep to the field that the camping area is in. There are also temporary dwellings on the holding that seasonal workers are residing in, please respect their privacy.

Brigs Farm is a 12-acre small-holding nestled in the hills 2 miles from the Jurassic Coast in the far corner of West Dorset. It is a truly beautiful area full of winding hedgerow lanes and public footpaths. Charmouth, famous for its fossils, is only 2 miles away and Lyme Regis is close too.
I aim to provide a less formal campsite where well-behaved dogs are welcome and you can enjoy a campfire and sea views. There are compost toilets and free showers.

Whether it's evening ambles and brunches down The Cobb harbour or rummaging for fossils somewhere in the sand, Chippers Field is well-situated for taking up activities on the seaside around Lyme Regis. Three miles from the ancient town, this quiet adults-only site has its own scenery for show, as the south-facing tree-lined terrace field is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with plenty of wildlife in the field. On Raymond's Hill, you'll be just off the A35 and a few minutes' walk away from a bus stop, so getting about shouldn't be a problem. In fact, there's the market village of Axminster five minutes' drive away (for walks along the river Axe perhaps, or a foodie-style trip out?)Of course, Lyme Regis is 10 minutes' drive away too… just the spot for pubs, restaurants and shops, strolls along The Cobb or putting in a plan of action for the Jurassic Coast's renowned fossil-hunting stretch between the town and the Golden Cap Estate.When you don't feel like going very far at all, there's a pub serving food just a few minutes' walk from the site or a local shop for all the basics next door to the pub for snack gathering (ready for local walks and cycling trails, perhaps?) You may have already seen it on the telly, but River Cottage (the same name for the TV show) is also half an hour's walk away and runs a cookery school or dining events.

Relax and unwind at Hobby Farm, our peaceful, countryside adult-only campsite retreat in the heart of the Dorset Marshwood Vale, West Dorset, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are numerous footpaths leading to the nearby coastal beach at Charmouth and it is just a 10 minute drive to the bustling seaside town of Lyme Regis. There’s also an abundance of wildlife all around the site with otters and ducklings to be found on the pond, horses grazing nearby and even a badgers set on the hill. There’s also a lovely country pub serving great food and ale just a 500 yard walk down the lane too!

Charmouth beach is a location that is must-stop the children and comes with all the great things we all love about a visit towards the coastline. Set down a blanket on the coast that is sand-covered put up camp while you stop and explore the remainder coastline. Once you've splashed about in the ocean, then simply take a peek into one of the rock pools and discover what animals you are able to spot? Or you've got small explorers in your pack, decide to try trying to find some fossils - they will result in the perfect reminder for the day that is fantastic you'd!
