Our first motorhome trip made perfect by this beautiful campsite
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We are completely new to camping, having always taken traditional holidays, but this year we made a spontaneous investment in a motorhome for our small family. Running our own businesses means it's incredibly difficult to get away for long holidays, so we wanted the freedom to make the most of weekends whenever we can.
After reading the previous reviews, our expectations were high, and I'm pleased to say Westacott Farm Camping didn't miss a beat.
The site is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained. We stayed on the Atlantic View field, and the views are simply breathtaking. The wash facilities are spotless, the showers are powerful with plenty of hot water, and everything is clearly looked after with pride.
The walk down to the pebble beach takes around 20–25 minutes, but it's more than worth it. It's a peaceful, scenic walk, and when you arrive you're greeted with an unspoilt stretch of coastline. It's not the easiest beach for swimming because of the pebbles, but if you're looking to unwind, listen to the waves, and completely switch off, I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed.
For our first proper motorhome trip, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Westacott Farm Camping has set the bar incredibly high, and we'll definitely be returning. Highly recommended to anyone looking for stunning views, excellent facilities, and genuine peace and tranquillity.

Disliked The water was cold in the showers for one evening and morning - I’m assuming that this was an anomaly which is why I gave a 9 rating.

Bridget’s (owner) is just lovely and a special thanks to the lovely Chloe from the ‘field coffee’ van for making mornings just perfect!
Sunsets are incredible, toilets are clean, showers are hot.
Fantastic rota of food vans throughout the week on site.
Play park for kids.
Never over booked even in peak kids summer holidays, site is quiet overnight, perfect place to relax and recharge.
Great base for north Devon and Cornwall, close to westward ho, Bideford, Bude, and great beaches- Saunton sands beach (40mins away) highly recommend-especially for disabled access.
