Campsites for hikers in Haldon Forest

·

Pitch your tent under towering pines and lace up your boots—Haldon Forest is prime hiking country, with over 1,000 campsites tailored for walkers. Trails crisscross the woodland, leading you past mossy boulders and shaded glades, and if you’re lucky, you’ll spot deer at dawn. Campsites here range from simple clearings to spots with hot showers, flushing loos, and fire pits. You’ll find places that let you sleep just steps from the forest trails for as little as £9 a night, though the average is around £75. Popular spots like South Dean Camping (169 reviews), Brig's Farm (66 reviews), and Goren Farm (46 reviews) are known for tidy pitches, hot showers, and proper campfires. Haldon’s close-knit network of footpaths, easy wildlife-watching, and a dash to the coast for a surf make it a favourite for active campers. Don’t forget to bag your rubbish and double-check the site’s fire rules before you settle in.

This peaceful, sheltered site has a special character. The site is the ideal place to unwind with plenty of safe space, a meandering river and friendly atmosphere. It offers 4 acres with facilities, 7 acres of wilderness, shower block, level pitches, picturesque river, children’s playground and has been rated AA 4 star gold pennant. Becky and John both love Cornwall and fell in love with the site as soon as they saw it and it provided the perfect opportunity for a new challenge. Having only recently taken over at Willow Valley in the Summer of 2024, there are always ongoing improvements being made so make sure you keep in touch. Any returning campers will be glad to know we aren’t changing the campsite itself though. Why would we when it is already so perfect!

Higher Roddon Farm

4. Higher Roddon Farm

1 unit · Glamping · Wiveliscombe, England
Duncan and Alexis live here with their young family and we want to continue to improve the biodiversity of the farm alongside building a sustainable farm business incorporating luxury rural accommodation and grass-fed beef and lamb. We are lucky enough to have a wide variety of wildlife on our farm including tawny and barn owls, deer, buzzards, pheasants, swallows, bullfinches, fieldfares and numerous bats, butterflies and beetles! Take a look at our Wildlife page. We follow a grass-fed, low input, regenerative agriculture philosophy. This means that (apart from our bulls, rams and boars which have to be bought in to prevent in-breeding) all of our animals are born on the farm. They stay with their mothers’ as long as possible growing well on their mothers’ milk and our beautiful grass. Apart from our pigs, all of our animals are only fed grass from the farm or hay (from our species rich hay meadows) in winter. We believe this is more sustainable, gives us a minimal carbon footprint and provides our animals with the best possible lives.
