Meadowsweet Farm

Lovely site, firewood provided for a lovely campfire.

Laid back, friendly, clean, Marco very kind

Site was very quiet so there was lots of room for the children to play. Facilities were basic but clean. Farmer Marko was very welcoming and always at hand for any queries.

The only downside were the Toilets which were just portaloos . They are never really very pleasant even though these were kept very clean.

Freedom to pitch wherever you want, within field. Close to the beach and town, driving 5 min to each.

Field a long side a busy road. Very basic facilities. Can't have the car near the pitch.

Great campsite with level pitches, the owner was really friendly and helpful! Perfect location to the beaches and town, would definitely recommend!

The loos are just porta-loos, which is not a huge issue in anyway, but could have been nicer.

Plenty of space and not too crowded.
Facilities were clean.
Allowed recycling.
The owner is nice and willing to help with directions etc.

The campsite is lovely, peaceful and very wild. It's a great location if you have a car - 5 minute drive to Saunton Sands, 10 minutes to Croyde.
There are hot showers and fire pits provided, with the option to buy firewood (and seasonal veg) at the campsite (cash only!). Marco gave us a warm welcome, he showed us around the site and we also had a tour of the farmyard to see some of the animals.
It's small, but not too intimate, enough space for privacy but not so big you have to walk for ages to get to the loos.
The toilets are portaloos, and are as you would expect them to be - a bit smelly but they're fine - more the guests to blame than the campsite.
It is unfortunately close to the road, however it didn't distrupt our nights sleep.

Location for Saunton Sands and sand dunes

Prepare yourself for a big shock as you drive in. The field is tiny and you can't park near your tent so you have to carry everything across uneven ground. Disgusting portaloos that look like they never get cleaned and have no toilet roll. Right next to a busy road that is always very noisy - there was even a car crash right outside as we arrived. We closed the front gate to keep our children safe but the owner Marko arrived after we had spent 2 1/2 hours setting up and he was very confrontational and rude about the gate. Then one of our small children followed a cat towards his barn and Marko had another go at us - asking to speak to my husband in his tool shed! I made the peace and said we would leave the next morning and Marko was then quite nice and showed the children his farm animals, we even got a refund the the next 2 nights we had booked. The following morning we packed away at 7am and left as quickly as we could to move to a bigger and safer site. It ruined our holiday, we had to move to a location in the middle of nowhere so we didn't get to do the beach as we had planned. I have never been made to feel to threatened, unwelcome, unsafe and uncomfortable before. This site is one to avoid at all costs. We have camped at 5 different sites throughout August and none have been this bad.

This is by far the best wild campsite I've stayed on. It has a perfect location just 5mins away from Saunton sands, it's has hot clean showers that are just pure bliss, Marco is the perfect host, what he's done with is land is inspirational. I'd stay here every time I visit North Devon.

The campsite was very nice - provided fire pits, we had a small gazebo up at the front of the tent, the showers worked well, and it was a very short drive to a couple of very nice sandy beaches and the very pretty village of Croyde.

The toilets were porta loos and as such were not the best.
