About Bowhayes Farm Camping
This relaxing site is surrounded by footpaths for walkers and sits by the edge of pretty Venn Ottery. It's a convenient distance from the RSPB reserve at Aylesbeare Common and around 30 mins from tempting spots along the coast, such as Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton. There's plenty of wildlife to spot on-site, including shy badgers, foxes, rabbits and shy deer. The pitching spots are separated by a spacious 150 metres so that everyone can enjoy calm and relaxation. Individual pitches are a minimum of 10m apart (or as far as you can get!) set on grass and within the scenic surroundings of an orchard. If glamping is more your thing, there are two 5m bell tents, perfect for a cosy getaway for two. Each bell tent comes with a queen sized bed, chest of draw for storage, rugs and a stove to keep your warm on those cooler nights. Guests will need to bring their own duvet, pillows and linen. Up to two dogs are welcome on the pitches but not in the bell tents, sorry.
Bowhayes Farm Camping is open from 01/04 to 30/09.
Site facilities include one shower and one toilet. You can buy hot and cold drinks, snacks and essentials from a small shop on site.

We arrived from London at around 3PM and after a long drive we were dreading carrying our gear up to the pitch. Howard was very kind in offering to help tractor our stuff up for us. The orchard is beautiful with stunning views. The facilities were pristine. The nighttime was very quiet and calm. Huge thanks to Howard and his family for making our stay memorable.
What a treat!
