General
- Laidback Devon family site with adventure activities to book
- A five-minute drive to Westward Ho! beach; 15 minutes to Barnstaple
- 35-acre site within walking distance of pub and Big Sheep theme park
Adventure Camping is a spacious site in the grounds of the Inspiring Learning North Devon Centre, a mile and a half from the centre of Bideford and in the scenic surrounds of comely Devon countryside (with views both up to the hills and over to the coast).
This is a splendid spot to settle in for lots of Devon hotspots: you can walk to the Big Sheep theme park (or stroll to the local pub, five minutes away…) and a short drive gets you to places like Westward Ho! beach or to Barnstaple to hit the Tarka Trail.
And of course you'll want to allocate some time to the fab range of antics organised by the site: a number of different adventure activities will be available to book during your stay, including climbing, high ropes, an assault course, kayaking and paddleboarding (please use the requests section on your booking if you'd like to enquire in advance about these).
There’s a whopping 35 acres of space to play with here, so plenty of scope to play games, take strolls around the lake or light up a barbecue or firepit to chat with pals. Dogs are welcome on site so feel free to bring them along for your Devon break here.

By bus
The only bus which passes The Ultimate Adventure Centre is the 319 Stagecoach bus from Barnstaple town centre to Hartland. The nearest bus stop is outside the church in Abbotsham, which is approximately 2- 3 minutes' walk from the site. However, if you ask the driver nicely, they usually stop outside the car park to drop you off.
By train
The nearest train station is Barnstaple, approximately 10 miles away. From here, a taxi will cost around £20, or you can take the 319 bus which stops outside of the train station (details above).
Local attractions
Adventure Camping is in the small village of Abbotsham, niftily placed for the best of Devon attractions and the nearby beaches of day trips to Croyde, Woolacombe, Westward Ho! and other Devon beaches.
Less than half an hour's drive will see you at Saunton Sands, the eminently suitable surfing beach, and Braunton Burrows, the eminently spectacular sand dune system that's the biggest in England. Botany and nature buffs will find over 400 species of vascular plants and several rare species here; take a guided walk for the easiest way to spot.
Closer to home, on the edge of the Taw Torridge Estuary and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Northam Burrows Country Park is a smaller but still very viewsome option for nature walks among its sand dunes, salt marsh and grassland. Access it from the beach at Westward Ho! and drop in at the visitor centre at the northern end of the beach, open to the public in summer.
Heavenly hikes on the South West Coast Path are just a mile away, and nearby Bideford has two of Devon's toppest attractions for kids and families, the Milky Way Adventure Park and The Big Sheep.
See also the fishing village of Clovelly along the coast to the south west, a day out among the greenery of RHS Rosemoor, another among the waves of surfing spot Woolacombe, or a drive to Dartmoor for yet more outdoorsy activities: you're on an adventure, after all…

Hello, thank you for you review.
This it is quite surprising to read and our sincerest apologies that you did not get the response from our team member that you desired. Customer service is a priority here, and the team are trained to calmly help. Be assured that your feedback was reported immediately and then escalated in the proper way.
We are situated on and surrounded by farm land and so it would be no surprise that wildlife is spotted at times. For your information we do have all of this under control and are satisfied with this.
Our team member, when reporting the above commented on how polite you had been about it. Note* Maybe if you had of reported it during your stay then we would have most certainly have given you and your family alternative accommodation in one of our other 20+ lodges.
It would be lovely for you to visit again and not feel that this experience is something that is common here.
Have a great summer!
