About Middle Ruckham Campsite
The peaceful and secluded site is ideally located between the National Parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor, a great base for getting your feet in Devon. The market town of Tiverton is only a ten minute drive away. With no allocated pitches, visitors are welcome to choose their spot in the meadow to set up camp, and there are fire pits or dishes with free firewood available. A maximum of four tents are allowed to be pitched, each taking up to four people. For those who don't fancy bringing their own tent, opt for the bell tent with futon beds, rugs, basic cooking facilities and room for up to four people. There's also the touring caravan for three people which has a double bed and seating area that pulls out into a bed for a child. This working organic farm is managed for its biodiversity. Perfect for families and visitors who prefer more of a wild camping experience, this is as about as far as you can get from an organised camping park. Small groups are welcome and the site is available for camps and retreats, and the site is easily accessible via public transport too. Bees are housed on site, and cows, ponies and sheep roam the other fields. Campers can enjoy fresh milk and produce from the farm in the mornings. Only an hour's drive from the stunning North Devon beaches for those wanting a day at the seaside, including Exmouth, Woolacombe and Combe Martin.
Open from 1 May to 16 October
Facilities include wooden Thunderbox compost toilets and a solar-heated shower. There are sinks with mains water. A communal fridge and an electric socket for charging devices should you need to use them.
Fresh organic produce is available on site, and the local pub is a short walk away. The site also has a large 'emperor' tent (can sleep 12) and a small marquee available for hire for groups and retreats.
