  • Peaceful site in a private home’s grounds 15 mins’ walk from Braunton
  • A five-minute drive from Saunton Sands beach and 10 from Croyde
  • Well-equipped guest kitchen and lounge area plus a communal firepit
Seek space at Secret Spot Camping, a site on open north Devon farmland 15 minutes’ walk from the pubs and shops of Braunton and five minutes’ drive from Saunton Sands beach. Pitches here form part of the grounds of a family home – guests are welcome to wander about and admire the gardens (a lot of effort goes into tending them, as you’ll see from the pics). Clubs and groups are welcome but be aware that the vibe here is very much peaceful rather than party. Facilities on site are centred around the convivial campers’ shelter, a hub full of handy things including a kitchen (with a fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster), comfy sofas, sockets for charging gadgets, and a wifi connection. If it’s a fine day, there’s also plenty of outdoor seating scattered around the place and a communal firepit area for campfire chats. Barbecues are welcome too, as long as they’re kept on the bricks provided. With several famed beaches nearby (not just Saunton Sands but also Croyde, 10 minutes’ drive away, and Putsborough within 15 minutes) this is a tiptop location for surfers as well as those who want to chill out; the site owners also manage a surf shop in Croyde, so folk who don’t have their own kit might want to hire or buy down there (with a little discount to aid proceedings).

What customers say

This is a highly recommended, peaceful campsite with spacious, well-kept pitches. Guests praise the immaculately clean facilities, including showers and toilets, and the thoughtful extras like communal kitchen areas with fridges and microwaves. The hosts are consistently described as friendly and helpful. Its location is ideal for exploring North Devon's beaches and towns. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points about shower water pressure and wetsuit drying were noted.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked My second time at this glorious campsite. First time alone and second time bringing my wife who loved it just as much as me. Everything is perfect and it’s one of my faves to visit. Has 3 large fridges to store food in. Kettle, microwave, plugs etc. indoor seating areas that are cosy! the most beautiful gardens that the owners take so much care over. Toilets, showers etc - all so clean. I honestly think these get cleaned every hour! Location is perfect. There is a fire pit area that is communal and has the most beautiful views! Also the owners have 2 dogs that are so gorgeous and wander around the site. Can’t wait to come back

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly host, good location for driving to a few beaches but also out of the way, quiet and calm feel, second stay here as last year we loved it so much we wanted to return.
Lots of little areas to sit, lovely gardens, fire pit, communal areas, fridge and freezer, even hot water bottles in the communal area.

A great time as usual, our 8th time I think!

Local attractions

For a break from the waves, have a think about walks on the South West Coast Path (within five minutes’ drive) or bike rides on the Tarka Trail (15 minutes away). Wanders are also to be had around the Braunton Burrows sand dunes, the largest system of its kind in England and around 10 minutes' drive from the park. Tour tunnels instead at Ilfracombe – there’s a network of four carved out of the cliffside by locals back in the 1820s – followed by seawater swims in the nearby tidal pool. This seaside settlement 15 minutes’ drive from Secret Spot Camping also has an aquarium to amble around and is a gateway for wildlife-spotting boat trips. Kids keen to gaze at yet more animals? Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (25 minutes' drive) is the place to go for meets and greets with meerkats and sea lions as well as animatronic prehistoric creatures.
