About Meadowsweet Farm

Meadowsweet is rustic camping at its very best. Set on a small farm, the site provides fruit and vegetables to the local community and partakes in breeding and rearing rare breed animals including the critically endangered Suffolk Punch horse. The site offers an opportunity to get back to nature with the family in an idyllic setting close to the coast, with easy access to the local surf beaches and walking trails. Perfect for couples and small respectful groups too. Opening their gates to respectful campers, the owners here wish to share the tranquillity and peaceful atmosphere of the farm. Social souls can use the communal campfire pits with wood available from the farm, but if you're looking to kick back with a small group, or have some quiet family time undisturbed, there are portable fire troughs available too. Choose from a range of tent camping pitches set on this charming organic farm. Vehicles are not permitted within the camping field although parking is available in the neighbouring field which has road access. The ethos here is nature conservation, preservation of rare breeds and local natural food production. Sorry, no dogs due to sensitive animals on the site.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2023

Marco has a great place that is relaxed and quiet. He was a great host and was helpful with various questions. The site is basic but lovely, an enclosed field and decent toilets/showers. A no car policy on the main camping area made it more relaxed for us. If you want peace and quiet and a rural feel, this is perfect. It's 10 mins from the beach and the nearest town.

Great camping site!

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2023

I stayed at Meadowsweet Farm for 3 nights with three other friends. Location was great with Croyde Bay and Saunton Sands just a short drive down the road, which are beautiful beaches. There were also a number of pubs and shops down the road in Croyde and also Braunton. We had everything we needed in the local area. We had a very warm welcome from the family running the farm, they made sure we had everything we needed and were very helpful. The site itself was great, the toilet and shower facilities did not disappoint, plenty of space to pitch up our tent and we were given the choice of where to pitch up. We made use of the logs that were sold on site to have a fire each evening. Overall an excellent campsite with a great location and a friendly welcome if you are looking for a few days away camping. We'll be back for sure!

FAQ

Check-in is between 1pm till 8pm and you must vacate your tent pitch by 11am on day of departure.

The Tarka Trail can be accessed from the campsite, taking you through some of Devon's most stunning scenery whether you're on foot or bike. Bring your swimmers for a trip to Saunton Sands, less than two miles away, or spend the day surfing at Croyde (board hire available at main beach car park). Other attractions nearby: *Braunton Burrows (1.5 miles) *Woolacombe Beach (5.8 miles) *Northam Burrows Country Park (17.3 miles)

Sorry, no dogs due to sensitive animals on the site.

Raised BBQs are permitted onsite. Sorry open fires are not allowed.


Walkers and cyclists can set off directly from this campsite to access the Tarka Trail and other beautiful scenery.

Saunton Sands Beach can be accessed via the main car park which is less than two miles down Saunton Road. However, if you'd prefer a quieter stretch of the beach and don't mind walking you can access the Sandy Lane car park 1.4 miles from the campground (down a quiet lane).

From here, you can walk over beautiful sand dunes to pop out in a significantly less populated area of the beach. The walk takes between 30 minutes to an hour depending on pace - you may even get the opportunity to catch a sunset from the dunes!

Croyde is the next beach down the coast and known for its surfing. Board rental available from both beaches' main car parks.

Many other amenities are available in Braunton town including restaurants, surf shops and bike hire. The Braunton countryside centre is an excellent educational facility and can be used to inform you on how best to make the most of your stay. Here, you may have the chance to access free guided nature walks informed by a local botanist.
