About the site
Situated on a working farm on Exmoor with the best of both worlds, the site is amongst ample amounts of charming countryside, which builds to a stunning panoramic view of the sea over North Devon's clifftop coastline. All pitches enjoy coastal and countryside views on a range of well-maintained grass pitches suited to tents. They are spaced out and unmarked over 10 acres of land, so you can choose your own location to set up camp. You'll be ooo-ing and arr-ing as this picture-perfect location offers plenty of wildlife and farm animals. Meet the alpacas, and sheep on site. Be sure to keep an eye for those wild ponies, red deer and birds of prey in the area too. The surrounding countryside has direct access to footpaths and trails, which is great for walks, cycling and hikes where you can enjoy all of its natural beauty alongside the coast, amongst woodlands and open moorlands. The site is dog friendly, although guests are asked to keep pets under control with a lead to hand whilst on site due to the neighbouring animals close by.

Since we started camping in 2021, this is by far the best site we have stayed at so far, in terms of gorgeous facilities and stunning location. Unfortunately, the high winds and rain marred our stay, but it's spectacular and the owners are so lovely. We also liked how you had the freedom to choose your own pitch. Amazing!
Lovely site

Really well kept site with sea views. Washing up facilities are just beautiful, outdoor type kitchens. Toilets and showers were also really great and lovely. Plenty of pitch space, lovely walks off the site too. We were hit by extremely bad wind storms when we were there but that is one of the risks of camping on a cliff top site with uninterrupted views in May. But it really was a beautiful site with lovely sea views.

Beautiful, panoramic views. We were unlucky with terrible winds that totalled our tent and we had to go home a day early. Nice site. Only criticism, the farm dog was allowed to roam freely amongst the campers, coming into tent etc. We have a very timid springer who was tethered for our entire stay and he actually snapped his tether trying to get away from farm dog in a panic. This constant visiting to our camp made it stressful for us trying to keep our dog calm.
