  • 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

A quiet, well-maintained campsite with spacious, flat pitches and beautiful gardens. Guests praise the friendly and helpful owners, excellent communal facilities including fridges and freezers, and the peaceful atmosphere. The location is ideal for exploring local beaches and towns. Minor suggestions include adding more hooks in shower areas and improving shower water pressure.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a great site! Ideal for me as fridges /freezers in the community kitchen and space inside and out to relax.
The gardens are beautiful and it’s lovely to be able to enjoy seating around the pond.
Lots of space even during half term.
My new fav!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely garden areas with shade and nice seating during a very hot week. 3 flat fields that aren't overcrowded and have varied allocations (dog field, children's field). The vast spaces in fridges is super helpful too. Communal spaces well kitted out and the showers have plenty of room for changing in. Oh and waking up with the sound of waves in the distance was delightful.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This campsite is very quiet, clean and lovely and flat. The owners don’t cram people in so there is plenty of space.

Disliked Minor things for me, no shelves in the shower room to put wash bag, not much water pressure. Nowhere to wash wetsuits and the water tap was not really accessible to fill up the van.
But nothing to stop us coming back

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely site, quiet, large fields to pitch where you like. Friendly owners, ‘The shed is a great facility where you can sit in comfort, make a cuppa, charge your phone. WiFi Fridge kettle and microwave available too.There is not a huge amount of showers and toilets, however for us this has never been an issue finding a free one when needed, all facilities are kept very clean. Beautiful gardens cosy areas to chill, listen to the bird song and read a book as well as a large fire pit for guests to use. Close to Braunton, 10-15 minute walk, farm shop also nearby and short drive to great surf beaches Staunton, Croyde. The buses also pass close by. This campsite was a great find and now our favourite to go back too each time!

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.
