  • Peaceful site on a smallholding five miles from Bideford
  • Wakeboarding park, surf lessons and amusement parks a short drive away
  • Alpacas, goats and horses to meet on site
Park yourself here for easy access to smashing Devon beaches, the South West Coast Path and the Tarka Trail cycle path, plus watersports lessons and kid-friendly visitor attractions such as The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Atlantis Adventure Park and Quince Honey Farm. Set within a properly peaceful smallholding, Broad Park Camping and Glamping is a warm and friendly park five miles west of the handsome and historic harbour town of Bideford, where there are independent shops, restaurants serving up local produce, and a pretty riverside quay. While the site lies a handy mile or so off of the A39, it's quiet around this splendid spot. Amenities are well thought out: there's a kitchenette with a microwave, a kettle, a toaster, a fridge and a freezer, in a room with cards, board games and tourist info leaflets. Milk, fizzy drinks, bottled water, chocolate and locally made luxury ice creams can all be bought at the site's small honesty shop. Foodwise, if you want to grill up a gourmet feast, barbecues are allowed; fire baskets are also available for hire, and kindling and logs are available to buy on site for toasty campfires under the north Devon night sky. Friendly dogs are welcome here at Broad Park but must be kept on a lead at all times; for a list of all the dog-friendly beaches nearby, just ask your cordial hosts, who'll be more than happy to oblige.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great facilities and good clean showers too. The fire pits are a great addition and made for good fun toasting marshmallows at night. Nice peaceful respectful site. Good communication for self check in.

Disliked: WiFi is not good further up the field and the reception is not good so very difficult if you need contact with the outside world.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: Easy to book and good informative text beforehand with the instructions on how to check in. Site was lovely and clean and just beautiful. Lovely and quiet and perfect for our nervous pups first stay. Showers were clean as were the toilets (quirky!). There was a great amenities room with sink, kettle and toaster etc and fridges to use along with an honesty box for chocolate, crisps and drinks. The added extra was the goats and alpacas on site which you could feed. A really great site - we will be back!!

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful site with great facilities, nice and clean, peaceful and well maintained. Loved feeding the goats

Disliked: A sink and mirror in the shower room would be great so you can brush your teeth after having a shower rather then having to go to toilet to do so

Local attractions

Be sure to bring your buckets, spades and beach towels, because you're going to be getting a lot of beach action with a stay here: just outside the Hartland Heritage Coast, the site gives you very easy access to miles of spectacular coastline and award-winning beaches – a short drive will bring you to the sands and sea of Clovelly, Westward Ho!, Appledore, Hartland and Saunton Sands. Also nearby is North Devon Wake Park, where you can get wakeboarding lessons and bounce, slip, slide and clamber on the aqua park’s trampolines, slides, logs, running mats and climbing frames. Surfing lessons can also be had over at Westward Ho! nearby. There’s a wealth of fun places to take little bloomers to within easy reach too: The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Atlantis Adventure Park and the buzztastic Quince Honey Farm, where you can investigate the lives of bees through interactive exhibits housing more than 20 colonies using bee cams and looking glasses. If you’re into long walks along scenic coastline, Broad Park Camping and Glamping is near the South West Coast Path, or if you're more of a pedally person the Tarka Trail is nearby too; bikes are available to rent locally if you don't bring your own.
