Ashcroft Farm campsite (added by manager 16 Sep 2022)

Family-friendly site on a farm surrounded by green Devon countryside
Westward Ho! beach 20 minutes’ drive; Exmoor National Park 55 minutes
Dog-friendly site with dedicated exercise area; easy access from A39

With views that extend as far as Dartmoor National Park, Ashcroft Farm is a small, dog-friendly site on a smallholding surrounded by the stunning countryside of north Devon. The surrounding fields are alive with wildlife, and birds of prey like barn owls and kestrels can frequently be spotted hunting overhead. The hedgerows, meanwhile, burst into bloom in spring and early summer, while wild songbirds will serenade you at dawn and dusk throughout the year. The site also has very low levels of light pollution, meaning that on cloudless evenings the night skies here are studded with stars. All in all, the camping area is around two acres, with the pitches situated around the border of the field, which gives kids plenty of space to play. This is a pet-friendly campsite that appreciates the importance of including the canine members of your family on camping trips. Because of that, you are welcome to build fencing around your unit, and although dogs need to be kept on a lead or tether around the site, a large field is on hand where they can run free under their owners’ supervision. Although very much in a rural location, this site is still easily accessible, as it's roughly two miles from the A39. The village of Woolfardisworthy (or Woolsery, to use its shorter name) is just over a mile away (five minutes’ drive or a 20-minute walk) and is home to a Norman church, a shop and a pub.

First trip, new experience, great site to start with.

Huge pitch loads of room even with 8 man tent.
clean and tidy with water and electric.

Great to be able to make a garden for the dogs.

Idyllic farm camping with spacious facilities.

Electric grass pitch (sloping)

Liked: Loved our short stay at Ashcroft Farm. The site is very well placed for the village which has a lovely pub, chip shop and store. Lot’s to do in the local area, very well positioned for our favourite spots. The owner was very friendly, she checked in with us when we arrived and she was very proactive to check in on guests after a particular blustery night due to windy weather, we appreciated this. The site itself is quiet (which suits us perfectly, facilities very good and clean and the pitch was huge. We’ll definitely return, thank you.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Certainly! Here’s a refined review of the campsite based on the details you provided: --- We recently stayed at this campsite and were thoroughly impressed. The location is incredibly peaceful, offering a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. One of the highlights for us was the spacious dog field, which allowed our furry friend to roam freely. The campsite is well-maintained, with spotless toilets that were a pleasant surprise. The pitches themselves are generously sized, providing plenty of room to set up comfortably. Additionally, both water and electric hook-ups were conveniently within easy reach of each pitch, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, this campsite offers a tranquil environment with excellent facilities. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing get away.

Disliked: On the downside, we didn't have the opportunity to meet the owner during our stay, which left us feeling a bit less welcomed than we had hoped. A simple hello would have made a big difference. Additionally, while the site’s secluded location is part of its charm, it does mean that amenities are a bit of a drive away. The nearest village is about 8 minutes away by car, but be aware that prices there are quite high. For more affordable options, you may need to drive 15 to 20 miles to reach a larger supermarket.

Local attractions

The Milky Way Adventure Park (10 minutes’ drive) has both outdoor and indoor attractions, which makes it a great option for days when you can’t quite work out what the weather has in store. Highlights include a ninja obstacle course, enormous bouncing pillows and a couple of roller coasters. There are also gentle rides for younger children, plus birds of prey displays. Some of the best beaches of the north Devon coast are within a short driving distance of the site. Buck’s Mills (10 minutes) is known for its rockpools and for the waterfall tumbling down a rugged cliff, while Westward Ho! beach (20 minutes), a vast expanse of sand fringed by a ridge of pebbles, is popular with surfers. Keen hikers will not want to miss a day exploring Exmoor National Park (55 minutes), where they can walk through such diverse landscapes as moorlands and woodlands, as well as dramatic coastal paths. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife, from red deer to the resident animal gardeners, the grazing Exmoor ponies.
