Weekend Trip to LEE MEADOW FARM CAMPING

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

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 Cadgwith Wild Camping

This was such a lovely spot. Great views and the hosts are so kind and generous. Lovely food truck with delicious pancakes and great dinners too. We felt so welcome and taken care of. Highly recommend staying here with Will and Cathy.

3 nights at Glan Y Mor Camping

Lovely site, great facilities and all in all a really relaxed stay

1 night at Coverack Camping & Glamping

Really good pitch with hot showers, wash bays and separate toilets. Great location with the cliff walk and town only a short walk away. Electric hook up was stable and location is bright and pleasant.

Weekend Trip to South Dean Camping

Amazing views, clean and tidy facilities, would definitely stay again!

1 night at Girt Down Camping

Beautiful views and a huge amount of space available for your pitch. Brilliant if you would like a quiet corner. 40 minutes walk down to the town and beach. Really kind and accommodating hosts. And hot showers. I'll be back!

Weekend Trip to Girt Down Camping

Amazing secluded campsite with gorgeous views! Facilities were great too. A fantastic spot.

Weekend Trip to Springfield Farm & Wild Camping

Maxine was lovely, even lending us a rain coat as we’d forgotten to pack one, lovely produce available for cooking, and such a great location with little walks down to broad haven for coffee food and a local shop and also a short walk to little haven with a number of pubs, really enjoyed walking the coastal path from Maxine’s lovely site

1 night at Cadgwith Wild Camping

Exceptional campsite. Owners are incredibly friendly, pitches are huge and very spacious and such a lovely dog friendly site. I would like to keep it a secret (!) but wish the owners all the best for the season.

Weekend Trip to Goren Farm

This was our second time camping at Goren Farm and we loved it. The Oak pitch was fantastic; a wonderful big oak to camp and shelter under, amazing evening sun, peaceful and remote, but still in easy walking distance of the excellent compost toilets. We didn’t try the showers, but have heard they’re good. The adventure trail is fantastic for adventurous people that aren’t afraid of a bit of mud; so much fun for our family. Julian and the others are really friendly and helpful. Just a beautiful, peaceful place to get away. Already booked our next stay!

Weekend Trip to Parke Farm Camping

We had a wonderful bank holiday stay. The campsite is in a great location, is clean and quiet even when fully booked. The owner was charming and we used the campsite as our base to cycle to the beautiful beaches near by. Great food at nearby Stackpole Inn. Highly recommend a stay - we'll be back.

Weekend Trip to Parke Farm Camping

Love the way the pitches are set out with long grass between. Friendly welcome from Charles and family. Nice touches like the fridge freezer and hot water urn. Would go again and would recommend

1 night at Cider Farm Orchard Campsite

Great spot. Beautiful spot amongst the orchard. So much space each. Shop selling ciders from the farm on tap was a touch!

Weekend Trip to Roskilly Camping

Brilliant campsite and great amenities. The food was unreal too!

7 units · Motorhomes, Tents4 acres · Taunton, England

Buttles Farm is located at the head of the Culm Valley on the boarder between Somerset and Devon. We are blessed with magnificent views, tranquil countryside and the kind of quiet that will let you just relax. Situated off the road and well away from traffic, your stay can be as calm or energetic as you want. We moved here in 2009 and started keeping a few pigs, sheep and chickens. In 2010 I planted 51 cider apple trees and we are beginning to see a useful crop for making some of the good stuff! Carl has spent time upgrading fencing, hedges, some of the barns and our new access track to ensure you have the best possible stay. We offer 20 pitches either for tents or caravans. Come and enjoy our lovely tree-lined 4 acre paddock. Our flock of Rhode Island Rock hens are producing eggs all year and are available to buy if you fancy a local breakfast!

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.

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!
