About the site


Enjoy a traditional camping getaway at this family friendly farm site. A great base for Woolacombe, it is only a five minute drive or 35 minute walk down to the sandy beach, with plenty of charming cafes, pubs and shops in the village. The spacious camping field is home to 15 unmarked non electric grass pitches for tents and trailer tents. Set around the edge of the field, it leaves plenty of space for kids to play and everyone to enjoy unspoilt countryside views. For scenic walks, the South West Coast Path is less than a five minute drive or a 25 minute walk from the site. You can also explore other nearby scenic seaside spots, including Putsborough Sands, Croyde Bay, Saunton Sands, Ilfracombe, all less than 15 minutes away. In the evenings, guests are welcome to cook up a BBQ, just please ensure they are raised from the ground.

Dogs can join you for your stay, with up to three dogs permitted per pitch.

A note from the site themselves...

When our 3 boys were younger, we used to take them on camping adventures. We enjoyed the back to basic sites that offered a break from modern technology and organised activities.

Give the kids open space and a ball or a bike and they would entertain themselves for hours! Sitting around a fire pit in the evenings gave opportunities to chat, tell stories, play games and relax together, and cooking simple meals on a gas stove or BBQ was something we could all do together.

So when we opened our little campsite in 2009 on our working dairy farm, we decided we would keep things simple. A basic, but clean toilet block and shower room, spacious pitches and stunning views! We look after the site ourselves, and enjoy talking to our campers in the evenings, offering handy hints on places to eat or visit, or chatting about farming life!

Many campsites in the local area have fantastic, full-on facilities, which is great if that's what you are after - however, this is often reflected in the price. Our facilities may be modest, but so are our prices!
