  • 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).

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A lovely and super friendly campsite. All facilities kept clean at all times. I loved the Campers Hut and all the little extras provided by the owner: bottle opener, brush and pan, books about the area, free fridges and phone chargers and many more.
The site is very quiet, surrounded by countryside, yet only a short walk into town and/or a short drive to the beach and many of North Devon attractions.
As a female solo traveller I felt very safe.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a lovely, quiet, clean and well kept campsite. The owners are really lovely, friendly and accommodating.
The showers and facilities are spotless and there is a lovely area where you can sit and relax. There are communicable fridges and kettles and the grass area for camping is very flat.
All 3 camping fields are lovely.
It’s only a very short drive to Braunton or to Braunton Burrows sand dune system.
The owners are very knowledgeable of the surrounding area too. I couldn’t fault this campsite at all. We had such a lovely stay.

Liked Absolutely love this campsite! They’ve thought of everything, making it a real little Devon gem. The site is beautifully maintained, welcoming, and has everything you could want for a relaxing stay.

Disliked The only slight downside for us is that we’d ideally love to stay in the top fields, as they feel a little nicer and have a better view. Unfortunately, as we have a dog, we’re not allowed to stay there.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This was our first camping holiday since we got married and we have found a real gem. Our criteria for camping this summer wasn’t much but flat ground, good toilets, dog friendly and close to the beach. Secret Spot Camping delivered on all accounts… and more! Not only are the toilets and showers great (cleaned daily WITH loo roll and hand soap provided - big win!) but the pitches are super spacious and they even go above with the offering of a lush communal ‘campers shelter’ for everyone to use with fridges, freezes, washing up facilities, kettles and sofas for when you just want to step away from the tent and sit with a cuppa in a normal chair 😊 the site is only 15 mins drive from Braunton Sands Beach and 5 mins from the town centre so nothing is out of reach. The owners were very helpful and chatty and the beautiful gardens were a lovely addition to walk through every morning. We will definitely look at returning to Secret Spot in the future 🩷

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Just back from 3 nights at this lovely venue, first class time was had by all. Lovely spot, nice flat pitches and good facilities, always clean and even in high season we never had to queue for the showers or toilets. The Campers Hut and all its facilities (kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge, freezer etc) is a lovely touch and surrounded by beautiful gardens for all to enjoy. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming and highly knowledgable about the local area. Love this place, will be back for more of the same.

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.
