General
- Dog-friendly camping in bell tents with gorgeous North Devon views
- South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail within 10 minutes’ drive
- Quiet, dark-skies site near a shop and pub; easy access to the beach
How about a spot of low-key, chilled bell-tent camping combined with spectacular North Devon views? If you’d like to get off grid and enjoy dark skies star-gazing too, then Giddy Farm is the spot for you – even more so if you like a quiet life, as there is no loud music allowed here at any time.
Walkers and cyclists, if you’re taking on the South West Coast Path or the Tarka Trail, both are within a 10-minute drive. If you’re holidaying with the kids, then this is a smashing departure point for discovering spectacular beaches like Woolacombe (20 minutes’ drive) and Combe Martin (five minutes), or treating them to animal encounters at Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes).
Back at base camp, spacious bell tents come equipped with beds that are configured according to your needs, and extra air beds can be added for kids (you’ll need to bring your own bedding though). Thoughtful extras include a barbecue and firepit (buy firewood on site), plus somewhere to sit outside, as well as shared compost loos, hot showers and a washing-up station.
Source essentials at the community shop in Berrynarbor (five minutes), where there’s also a pub. Combe Martin (10 minutes) has more choice of stores and restaurants, while local supermarkets can be reached within 10 minutes.
Your dogs get to come away with you too, but they must be kept under control as there is livestock in the surrounding fields.
Open from 01/08/2023 to 29/08/2023

From the manager...
I hope you enjoyed your stay even though you found your futon mattress thin. We decided to keep the field vehicle free to keep it safe for all our guests and also to protect our resident wildlife. I will make sure it is stated more clearly in future that you can't park by your tent. We are always happy to help with your luggage. As the camp site is a farm field we dont cut all the grass short but we do try to keep the immediate area in front of the tents shorter. That is certainly something we can look to improve on. Thanks so much for booking with us I hope you will come again |

Thanks so much for coming. We decided to keep cars out of the field to make it peaceful and safe for everyone staying and to protect our resident wildlife. We are always happy to help to carry your luggage and really glad you still enjoyed your stay here |

Local attractions
Gather up your beach gear and fix your eyes on the coast… with kayak hire at Combe Martin (10 minutes’ drive) and some super surf and dunes at Woolacombe (20 minutes), watersports, beach strolls or longer rambles over the South West Coast Path (10 minutes) are not far away. Note, there are lots of steps at Broadsands beach (10 minutes) but there’s a big payoff, with both rockpools and high-quality sand at the end.
Coasteering is the coastal activity of choice in Watermouth (10 minutes), with the hamlet’s unusual theme-park-in-a-castle serving thrills back on dry land. Ilfracombe (15 minutes) has another splendid combo of land-based and water-based activities, from shopping and golf to beach days and Lundy boat trips.
So, is this area mostly about the coast? Not at all. The Tarka Trail (10 minutes) will take you through Exmoor and North Devon landscapes or you could take yourself on a mini historical tour of the National Trust’s Arlington Court (15 minutes) and the Marwood Hill Gardens (15 minutes).
For places that are likely to be a hit with the kids, head for Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes) or the Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (10 minutes).
