Weekend Trip to Goren Farm

We love it here. Very relaxed rural space with only one pitch per field. Beautiful wildflowers and they have worked hard at creating a biodiversity paradise. You almost never find campsites this isolated in the UK.

1 night at The Enchanted Wilderness

Beautiful site, wonderful view, and very friendly host. Perfect!

1 night at Girt Down Camping

Girt DOWN FARM ..... Beautiful, relaxing and stunning surroundings of views of the coast. The sunset and sunrise were stunning. Stargazing is a must. Lovely to chat to Paul and Lesley whilst they are going about their daily farming. They have a wealth of knowledge of the area. Their fresh hens eggs were amazing. We had a lovely breakfast roll in the morning too. Showers, toilets and washing up area are lovely and clean. Fresh spring water out of the tap. There is an old railway carriage to chill, charge your phone and a fridge freezer. Firepits & Wood and you can also BBQ. This is such a lovely and friendly farm. A great place for families, couples or Trekkers. You can chill & unwind with a book, plenty of wildlife and birds. There are walks out of the farm, take a stroll up to Great Hangman or a carry on to Little Hangman which was about an hour. Again the views of the coasts are stunning at the top. You can carry on walking which takes you to Combe Martin beach, cafes, chippy, shops and a butchers. Or walk the other way to Heddons mouth which takes about 4 hours but so worth it..... beach, a pint and a lovely meal. Girt farm is surrounded by so much to do locally, local produce, quaint villages, Exmoor and walks galore. There are Buses from Combe Martin which go both ways up and down the coasts. I would highly recommended. AND We will be back for a longer stay next time. A REAL HIDDEN 💎 GEM. 🏕

Weekend Trip to LEE MEADOW FARM CAMPING

Very accommodating and friendly. Beautiful well equipped campsite. Great stay

Weekend Trip to Girt Down Camping

Gorgeous views of the coast and camping just as it should be - back to basics with acres of space but perfectly adequate and clean facilities. The coast path is just a few minutes away from the site and there are some incredible views to be had from Little Hangman. The Heddon Valley is close by too and definitely worth visiting. The coast path here is seriously hilly, but with views like this, it is well worth the effort.

Weekend Trip to Goren Farm

Everything was perfect! Booking easy and Julian very helpful on the phone. Our pitch was on the edge of a beautiful wildflower meadow and we had the whole field to ourselves! Firepit provided. Hot showers and compost loos. Lovely sitting in the enclosed farm yard with tea and cake. Good walks from the site. We drove to the Tuckers Arms pub which was good. Burrow Farm gardens worth a visit. Highly recommend Goren Farm!

Weekend Trip to Parke Farm Camping

I loved camping here. Extremely welcoming hosts. Very friendly. Beautiful campsite with stunning views and fantastic facilities

6 nights at Goren Farm

Lovely campsite very calm and relaxing. The care and love put into to the café, shop, play area was very special. For a couple of days we didn’t leave (kids played happily, nice walks, meeting cows). The birdsong in the mornings is heavenly.

Weekend Trip to Springfield Farm & Wild Camping

Really lovely chilled camp. The showers are fantastic. It isn’t crowded so everyone has a great view. Our dog was welcomed! We had such a great time. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Girt Down Camping

Amazing views from all of the pitches and good amenities. Lovely hosts.

Weekend Trip to Meldon Lake and Woods Wild Camping

Great place as stated it is narrow further down our t5 managed no problem definitely best with a mildly off road type vehicle stone track leads to an amazing space we parked further round than the other few campers the bridle way was quite busy but people walking by were friendly . We took our own Porto a loo ( essential ) Very clean seems people who stay are respectful

Weekend Trip to Trewan Hall

Lovely camp site with friendly, helpful staff. Clean, tidy facilities and lovely hot showers. Even have a shower for cleaning wetsuits etc. It was quite busy on the Friday night I stayed and there was live music but other campers all respectful and no noise issues at all after the band stopped. Would certainly recommend and stay there again myself. PS Their hot cornish pasties are excellent too😋

3 nights at Cadgwith Wild Camping

A very special place - so relaxed, welcoming and friendly. Beautiful view of the sea from everywhere and easy access to the coast path. Dogs are very welcome too!

2 nights at Brig's Farm

Very quiet with lovely views and great showers

Weekend Trip to Roskilly Camping

Great spot. Lovely shower - better than home! Kettle and Toaster were a bonus for two bikepacking visitors. Toilets and showers very clean and campsite perfect. Proximity to the Roskilly restaurant was a bonus.

2 nights at Girt Down Camping

Loved my stay here this week! I went with my beagle and we both enjoyed the hugs of coast and countryside—peaceful walks, lots of beautiful wildlife, stunning views high in the hillside looking down through the valley to the sea, and a private, relaxing space to unwind. Lesley and Paul were incredibly warm and welcoming, and when I had some unexpected car trouble, they made sure I felt comfortable to ask if I needed anything - I had everything I needed already provided! It’s truly a special spot ☺️🐶🍃🌊

5 nights at Goren Farm

The amount of land and privacy for camping is really great. Showers were really good too, very generous to have two showers with hot water and good pressure for the amount of pitches.

1 night at Elm Farm Camp, Cafe & Cycle hire

Lovely hosts. Great little cafe with wonderful breakfast. Nice toilets and showers too.

1 night at Bush Farm Campsite

Berry's Ground Lane Campsite

40 units · Motorhomes, Tents40 acres · Martinhoe, England

Lovely wild camping pitches on the North Devon coastline. You will be one of a maximum of 6 pitches in a large field on the beautiful North Devon coast with incredible sea views. We can provide a firepit to borrow and you can purchase logs onsite so you can stargaze and chatter around the fire - back to nature! We are based just outside the pretty hamlet of Martinhoe in North Devon, a stone's throw from the SW Coast Path. There is a historic Roman Beacon closeby and plenty of wildlife around, we'd be surprised if you didn't see deer in the neighbouring fields! There is a compost loo and a water point, but no electricity / wifi - delightfully off-grid. Situated on an organic working farm this is the perfect place to escape!

Willow Valley Holiday Park

30 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents4 acres · Bude , England

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!
