Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Steve and Jo are fantastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Great facilities, with the added bonus of a communal kitchen. Beautiful and quiet location, walking distance (either along the main road or through the fields at the back of the site) to Braunton. Flat walk/cycle (45/20 mins) to a car park, then 30 min easy walk to the Saunton beach. Pretty communal garden to explore. We will definitely be back!

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We recently returned from a 10 night stay at this quiet, secluded spot set in beautifully kept grounds with a laid-back vibe and surrounded by nature. Steve and Jo the owners were very friendly and helpful in a non-intrusive way, affording us full privacy, lots of space yet help close to hand if needed. The campers’ kitchen and facilities were clean and so well thought out, with more complementary extras than we’ve found on any other sites. An absolute gem of a campsite set in a stunning area of North Devon with an overwhelming abundance of diverse nature right outside your tent. We’re already planning our return visit. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday Steve and Jo!

Disliked: Nothing to dislike, this site ticks all the boxes.

Liked: Clean, friendly, well thought out site with all the amenities you need. Quiet site in a great location. Steve the owner couldn’t do enough for you and was always on hand to help. The communal area was superb, well kitted out and never before had we been offered the free use of kettles, toaster, fridges, hot water bottles etc great option, will definitely return.

Disliked: Having to use the dog field with our small dog when the adult only site looked superb! Unfortunately we had a noisy family with kids & dog next to us.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Very unfortunate that with only 4 tents in the whole field (one whole acre of land btw) that you were unlucky enough to get inconsiderate neighbours. If you had mentioned it to me i could have had a word with them. I certainly did not hear any noise myself. This was our first full year of taking camping dogs (as you know, we have two dogs of our own). We trialled it end of last year with no problems. We have much more room now we no longer have horses so we thought we could use the extra space to make it work. However, if people are unhappy being away from the busier "Family" field and feeling segregated then reverting to our 'No Dogs' policy might be the best option. - The 'dog' field is in no way remote and is actually nearer to The Campers Shelter/Kitchen and Firepit Area than the Family Field! We do thank you for your feedback which will make it easier making decisions for the future. - Regards Steve

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.
