It is the perfect getaway, a place to re-connect with nature and your loved ones in the most peaceful place away from it all. This is not a big campsite with lots of other people, you can book one of 3 seperate fields for a private group, or otherwise, only 2 or 3 families very spread out at a time. The pitches are set out with plenty of space in between. There is parking for cars or campervans with nothing but nature all around you. We also have a small hard standing area for campervan. There is a shared compost loo, a washing up area, and an off grid shower shack. It is set in the most beautiful surroundings, teaming with wild life and filled with wild orchids and many different species of grasses and wildflowers. It is unique and a treat for people who love natural habitat. The sea is about two miles away where there are spectacular cliff walks for many miles on the Pembrokeshire coast path, and beautiful beaches for swimming. Bring logs and kindling with you. (Can be bought from any garage) If you bring a cool box we can top you up with frozen ice packs. Just ask. NO LOUD PARTIES Guest access Acres of land and woodland, compost loo, shower hut, pond. Other things to note 40 acres of meadows, wildlife habitat and woods which guests are welcome to roam. You can walk down the track and visit the artists gallery and shop in the big blue barn. "A great site for those who like to be on their own in the wilds. Great way to enjoy easy access to some of the best coast line in Britain . Amazing art work too!" Jenny

Meadowsweet farm is a rustic and peaceful sustainable family farm on the north Devon coast. A five-minute drive to Saunton Sands; 15 minutes to Barnstaple. Communal campfire and portable fire troughs are permitted Close access to the Tarka Trail. This site is a fast-track route back to nature five minutes’ drive from Saunton Sands and 15 minutes from Barnstaple. It's a place where the peace, sea breeze and sustainability mingle together to create a rural camping experience on a small eco-friendly farm. If surfing ranks high on the list for your trip, you’ll be well set with the local swell on several sandy beaches within 20 minutes’ drive. And if walking or cycling is your favourite pursuit, you can head out over the sand dunes (a great setting for watching the sunset) or walk right onto the lengthy Tarka Trail for a self-guided cycling and walking tour over Devon’s cliffs and coves. Friendly guests should find some good chat on site, as social and sensible souls can make use of the communal firepits (with wood available from the farm). And for when you feel like quality family time or gathering in a close-knit group, there are also portable fire troughs. With no electricity, this off-grid site will take you nicely back to basics, with just simple facilities such as toilets, sinks and hot showers on site. When you want to head into town, Braunton (five minutes’ drive) has several restaurants and a supermarket for food and a selection of pubs for a tipple. Surf shops, bike hire and guided nature walks with a local botanist are available too.

You can explore the winding paths where you might happen upon a hammock for an afternoon snooze or even some fairies (if you tiptoe!)... We have compost toilets, a shower with unlimited hot water and a shared fridge and freezer. The camping area is car free after set up. We're just 3 miles from the beautiful Ceredigion beaches and some great walks along the Wales Coastal path. We can't wait to share our little corner of Wales with you!

We loved camping here. The pitch sizes are very spacious and divided by longer grass giving you some privacy. The pitches were in a circle with a playing field in the middle with goal nets. My girls absolutely loved this and I was able to watch them play safely. Tea and coffee was offered every morning with help yourself service. There was a lovely area to sit with free WIFI ( if needed). Shower and toilet areas were clean. There was a little shop if you need milk etc. We will be definitely be visiting again next year and for longer.

The fields are huge and the views are great. Atmosphere was relaxed and easy. Families seemed as happy as couples and single travellers. Lovely clean shower, toilet and washing up facilities - made with love! Just be prepared for strong winds and a field that is mostly not level. I very much enjoyed my stay!

Fantastic, clean facilities with plenty of space and no queues. The South West Coast Path is right at the gate for beautiful walks, and I’d recommend pitching in the second field to benefit from both the sea views and plenty of space for your dog to play. Saturday, Mexican street food on site was fresh, delicious and great value, plus the picturesque pub nearby is dog friendly with a large beer garden. Lots of campfires dotted around the site as the sun set over the sea with scenery all around made it feel really special. Already missing it! ❤️

Spacious, great fields to walk the dog. Well stocked shop / reception that is open until 10PM so it’s great for a last minute stop with wifi that works across the whole site. Good location as a base to explore Western Wales, we had a trip to st David’s and Haverfordwest and close by areas. Toilets, showers, washing up station were well maintained. Would stay again!

We had the most amazing time staying here! The site was absolutely beautiful and very welcoming, both the onsite facilities were kept very clean and tidy. It’s a 20 minute drive to Pembroke castle and many other places worth visiting, I highly recommend this campsite and will most definitely be back again soon.

Weekend Trip to Glan Y Mor Camping

Cleanliness 10/10, site vibe 10/10, friendliness and helpfulness of owners 10/10. Such a beautiful site, especially the woods. Loved the relaxing music in the toilet, the communal kettle, fridges, and communal campfire area. Downside is location as its overlooked by what looks like the old school sportshall which was playing loud music on Saturday morning (possibly dance class?). Also random loud distant noises at 3am like a tannoy and loud rumble poss from the docs? Wouldnt go again for this reason as its not what we were looking for, but speaking to other people there they loved it. Also I recycle everything I can, but didnt enjoy having to take my non recyclable waste off site and look for a public bin, though I understand its probably to encourage irresponsible people to recycle more.

Gorgeous views and facilities, albeit basic, are kept to a fantastic standard. Would highly recommend. However, please bear in mind that as you have basically a cliff top pitch this does mean that you are open to the elements. Wind battered our tents and unfortunately had to leave earlier than planned which was the same for other campers. Obviously this is of no fault of the site itself or the owners who maintain it to a brilliant standard.

Just had a perfect weekend camping at Strawfields. Lovely big pitches, beautifully maintained, hot showers, and added bonus of a trampoline and a few alpacas for our boys to visit! Alex was also a great host. Great spot to camp if you want to visit North Devon beaches.
