146km from Mortehoe · 4 units · Motorhomes, Glamping · Llanidloes, Wales
We are a small family farm site hidden in the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales, near the lovely town of Llanidloes. Our easy to find, just off A470 location makes a stay with us convenient yet once you wind up to our drive you are on top of the world with spectacular views both day and night - we are a recognised Dark Skies Wales area for outstanding stargazing due to our lofty 1300ft height and un-light polluted sky. With over 60 acres to explore space and quite is guaranteed. Choose from secluded Idris the Shepherds hut with repurposed horsebox shower and woodfired outdoor bath, family glamping geo-domes Willow & Oak and Daisy bell tent each with covered camp kitchens or wild meadow camping plus a campervan spot. Our mission is to rewild the farm, manage the ancient woodland, support the abundant wildlife & finally protect its 5 acre peat-bog (peat bogs are as environmentally important as rain forests – peat holds more carbon than the combined forests of Britain, France and Germany!)

South Town Camping opened for a month in 2018 to see how guests would take to its private 10-pitch site. Tucked away in North Devon's Arlington estate, amid twenty-plus miles of footpaths and bridleways, this is a campsite designed by committed campers and it shows.The grass pitches are spacious, with paths leading to them mown into the wildflower meadows, all set within six acres kept peaceful (and safe for the kids!) by the absence of cars — simply roll your belongings to your tent with the help of a super-sized wheelbarrow. At the centre of the camping fields hay meadows are left to grow throughout the summer, providing an almost-wild aesthetic befitting of the sprawling surrounding woodland of which you'll enjoy uninterrupted views. Watch the sunset to the west right from your tent and, on clear nights, you'll have an enviable spot to take in the starry skies. If you don't fancy pitching a tent a shepherd's hut is also available, a cosy option for couples with outdoor seating for those nights cooking by the fire.Given that this is a campsite belonging to the environmentally-conscious South Town Farm, your time staying at the site will be as eco-friendly as possible. Your hosts take care of 200 acres of this estate, having National Trust tenancy of South Town and managing its grasslands, which remain unimproved to maintain the unique biodiversity of the region. In keeping with this ethos, your available amenities also won't impact the land — there are composting loos, a gas-powered warm shower and cold drinking water pumped directly from the mains to the sheltered washing-up hut.Despite South Town Camping's position out in the sticks, it's within excellent reach of its neighbouring beaches, all a short drive away. Woolacombe beach will likely be the first port of call for sun-chasers, given its reputation as not only one of the best beaches in the West Country, but one of the best in the world — two miles of sloping sand facing the Atlantic Ocean, and a favourite for families and surfers with thousands descending upon it each year. Or, if you don't fancy feeling the sand between your toes, multiple marked walks await you directly from your tent — embark on a ramble through the ample woodland and emerge at the Pyne Arms, the nearest pub, where award-winning food awaits.

Shepherd's huts near Mortehoe guide

Where to go

Exmoor National Park

Stand atop England’s highest cliffs, wander the rugged moors, or explore accessible Exmoor Strolls walking paths in Exmoor National Park. Home to wild red deer and salmon spawning grounds, Exmoor’s protected areas are a unique chance to experience some of England’s most special species. Stay the night at on-site tent camping pitches, glamping accommodations, and lodgings inside the park, or seek landowner permission for wild camping in the heart of nature.

North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Discover the natural beauty around Mortehoe in North Devon AONB. Head north of the village for a stroll around historic Bull Point Lighthouse, then follow the South West Coast Path down to Morte Point to admire sea birds and spectacular sunset views. Linger overnight at waterfront tent pitches overlooking the sea, complete with conveniences like toilets, potable water, and campfire pits.

Hartland Devon Heritage Coast

Follow the trails of Hartland Devon Heritage Coast to Speke’s Mill Mouth Waterfall for a refreshing day hike, or embark on a longer journey on this section of South West Coast Path, England’s longest walking trail. Campers who love the water can chase the waves at this popular surfing destination, and then find quiet tent pitches and glamping yurts for a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

When to go

Summer is a popular time to visit the area around Mortehoe, when campers can catch the waves at Woolacombe Beach or stroll coastal paths. Book early during the busy season from June to August to score waterfront tent pitches and glamping spots. Autumn is cooler and less crowded, though still lovely for refreshing walks by the sea. Pack for wind and rain in winter, when sea storms tend to arrive.
