Hi, I've just stumbled upon this thread about Hookhills Farm and Campsite at Goodrington, Devon. My Grandparents Ron and Millie Rogers owned the farm and turned it into a campsite. I've been doing some family research and collecting photos which I've uploaded to Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmoTMF67

Ron Rogers died in 1968, Hookhills was eventually sold as part of his estate. The buyers kept it going into the 1970s but it was doomed to be sold for new homes eventually, it was prime land.
if anyone has any holiday pics I'd love to see them.
Hi Deb, Well what a great start to my weekend!
Having just booked to stay at Beverley Park next week, having stayed there and at Hoburne many times, I once again thought about Hookhills Farm and how, in about 1964, Mum & Dad brought us all down from Bolton in their VW Beetle to camp there.
So I did a Google search and found this thread!!
We went on to Cornwall from Hookhills and it clearly left it’s mark as I moved there in 1974 and have been here ever since.
We inherited the same French Lamont tent used at Hookhills and this served us well till it fell apart!
We moved on to a caravan and have stayed at Beverly and Hoburne more times then we can remember, we did a New Year rally at Hoburne for 14 years in a row, but not for about 3 years so next week is a bit of nostalgia and will now be all the more enjoyable.
Things like this show how great the internet can be!
Thanks again for the amazing photos.
