  • Peaceful site with sea views a five-minute drive from Westward Ho!
  • South West Coast Path 20 minutes’ walk; Bideford 10 minutes’ drive
  • Dogs welcome; children’s playground; well-stocked farm shop
Picture the scene: you step out of your accommodation and are greeted by expansive sea views stretching all the way to Lundy Island. Not a bad holiday scenario, right? Well, hold that thought and head to Westacott Farm Camping, a peaceful site on the coast of North Devon. The coast is not just a distant mirage here: you’re only about 20 minutes’ walk from the South West Coast Path, and from there you can scramble down to Peppercombe Beach, a long stretch of shingle. If you have your dog with you (a welcome guest, but do keep it on a lead at all times while on site), this is the place to take it for a walk. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of seals and dolphins; if not, you should still see plenty of colourful butterflies and wildflowers. If you prefer sand to pebbles, head to Westward Ho! Beach (15 minutes’ drive). There will be more people here, but there are also more services, including lifeguards, public toilets and watersports equipment rentals – from paddleboards to surfs; most places also run lessons for beginners. After a long day at the seaside, leave the kids in the playground and start gathering dinner provisions. The on-site farm shop stocks local sausages, burgers, bacon, free-range eggs and a small range of groceries – in short, all you need to knock up a simple meal. For anything else, it’s a short drive to the supermarkets (five minutes across the A39); better still, get someone else to do the cooking and visit the nearest pub (five minutes or a leisurely half-hour walk) in Abbotsham.

Liked Great views, lovely hot clean showers, and the radio playing in the toilets is a genius way to block out any embarrassing moments. 🤣 We didn’t have the best weather but the excellent 5G coverage was a life saver.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Excellent team at a very well placed site overlooking the sea. Excellent toilet and washing up block (spotlessly clean and lashing of hot water). Grey water point as well as chemical loo point. Shop area excellent and super friendly team. Reallocated spaces so no stress on where to pitch. Electric on a card (so very fare and only pay for what you use). Will visit again. And the single track access road has many spaces to pass by!

Local attractions

Whether the kids are into fun attractions or animals, The BIG Sheep (five minutes’ drive) will deliver. As well as bottle-feeding lambs and handling fluffy chicks, they can ride a swan pedalo on the lake or take the miniature train through the grounds; older kids might prefer the thrills of the roller coaster. From Bideford (10 minutes), a boat sails along the River Torridge and onwards to Lundy Island, whose rugged cliffs shelter puffins and other seabirds. On your return, check out the riverfront statue dedicated to Tarka the Otter, then cross the Old Bideford Bridge to the Bideford Railway Heritage Centre. Themed areas at RHS Garden Rosemoor (25 minutes), in Torrington, include the vibrant Rose and Hot gardens, and the Croquet Lawn, lined with plants from the Mediterranean and the southern hemisphere. Stay in Torrington to visit the Dartington Crystal factory and watch glass-blowers at work.
