Broad Park is a small, laid back certificated site nestled in the beautiful, unspoilt countryside. You'll be parked up in a tranquil location, surrounded by nature, with a selection of grass and hardstanding pitches. If you're looking for a little more luxury, cosy Shepherd's Huts are also available for glamping. No need to wander far, however, as it's a 5 minute drive from The Big Sheep family theme park, and 10 minutes from Peppercombe Beach.

Easy reach to beautiful Devon beaches and the South West Coast Path

A tranquil site with stunning countryside views, ideal base to explore North Devon

Come and meet the pygmy goats, alpacas and horses!

About Broad Park Camping and Glamping Certificated Site

The site is a peaceful place to relax. Feed the pygmy goats, horses and alpacas, cook up a barbecue, toast marshmallows over a fire (baskets and logs available to hire) and chill out under a sky full of stars which, on a clear night is breathtaking due to low light pollution. Conveniently, this base is roughly a mile from the A39, with outdoorsy options like the Tarka Trail and coastal path easy to reach and Bideford only five miles away. Pitch your tent or trailer tent on any of the ten grass pitches or choose one of the two hardstanding pitches for campervans, single axle caravans, and motorhomes only. Electric is available. Two cosy Shepherd's Huts are also available for glampers, complete with kitchenettes and double beds. A private en-suite shower room and bedding are included. Dogs on leads are welcome, please note this site does not accept breeds and cross breeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act. This is a Freedom Camping Certificated Site, but non members are welcome to stay.

Grass pitches are available from March to September. Hardstanding pitches are available all year.

Medium Tent - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric)Sep 2023

First visit to this campsite and to North Devon (which is stunning) and it won't be our last. The views from all grass pitches are just lovely, from the thatched cottage to the horse paddock at the top of the hill. Our kids loved interacting and feeding the Alpacas and goats. Toilet facilities and amenities room are brilliantly arranged, all very clean and conveniently located. Found the location to be a perfect balance. Close enough to amenities in Bideford and local tourist attractions, but just far enough away to feel remote from the outside world. We had great weather, which enhanced the experience, but the set up at this site is a credit to the owners.

Nice, quiet campsite

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric)Feb 2024

Just 2 hardstanding pitches (plus camping field that is closed in winter), so 2 male, 2 female toilets and 2 showers were sufficient. All amenities were impeccably clean. Indoor washing up room was a welcome bonus, along with fridge, freezer, kettle & toaster for campers use. Very quiet - no farm or animal noise at all. Will stay again when we are next in this area.

Absolutely brilliant camping in a beautiful setting. So peaceful and exceptionally clean and well organised. Few pitches meant no queues to toilets and showers, which were very clean. Also an honesty box for a selection of snacks on sale in amenities room. Will definitely book again.
