  • Countryside park on 500 acres, 15 minutes' drive from Woolacombe
  • Woodland walks, nature trails, pool and riding centre on site
  • Five camping fields and five spacious amenities blocks
Life’s little stresses getting you down? Want to stow yourself away for a countryside break where everything is close to your pitch? Come along to Combe Martin’s Stowford Farm Meadows in north Devon for a bit of de-stressing in a rural setting: the park is a mile from the main road down its own private drive and is a well-placed base from which to explore the best of Devon. Set among 500 acres of Devon woodland and meadows, Stowford Farm Meadows falls into the category of ‘very large’ sites – but fear not if your tastes tend towards the more solitary, as the park is divided into five separate camping and caravan fields and feels like several small sites rolled into one. The overall size means there are heaps of facilities and activities for you to try your hand at, from cantering around on horseback with the help of the on-site riding centre, to driving the kids crazy with your swish moves at the crazy golf. Looking for something a bit quieter? There are marked woodland walks into the wildlife-rich Bittadon valley, with nature trails starting and finishing on site. A heated indoor pool is available for a small extra charge. For putting feet up or letting hair down, the site has two bars (with evening entertainment in peak season), a café, on-site takeaway and a carvery on Sundays. For supplies, Stowford Farm Meadows has a licensed well-stocked shop and for your caravan and camping accessories. And finally? Even the dog will de-stress here, with a friendly welcome and a spacious dog-walking area on site…

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The location and the play parks. The toilets were clean. The pub onsite and pet o Rama.

Disliked: The bar smelt funny and had a very limited menu so we chose to drive to another pub. We had to limit our showers as the water was cold. We have never experienced cold showers when paying these prices. Luckily the one hot shower was when we took the kids. Shocked at paying an additional £14 when we asked for a late check out. The site wasn’t busy.

Electric grass touring caravan pitch

Liked: Super miejsce dla rodzin z dziećmi , zadbany obiekt, basen , plac zabaw wszystko w bardzo dobrym stanie . Prysznice , ubikacje cały czas czyste . Polecam w 100%

Disliked: Jeden minus . Jestem wysoki i miałem problem w trakcie kąpieli pod prysznicem z powodu za niskiego umieszczenia dyszy wody . Dysza z brakiem możliwości ustawienia i miałem ja na wysokości brody . Minus mało znaczący i nie wpływający na moją ocenę obiektu. Polecam

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Pitch size was good, facilities are clean and good condition, friendly helpful staff.

Disliked: Pitches are steep and required using blocks to gain enough height to level the caravan, this information would have been handy when booking. Also a lot of the pitches require motor movers to get on and off them so also worth noting in booking.

Local attractions

The highlights of north Devon are a pebble throw away, with Combe Martin on the doorstep and the famed harbour and seafront of Ilfracombe a few miles away (if you forget your wetsuit, the clever sorts at Stowford sell them in the on-site shop). Take little monsters to the animatronic dinosaurs, train ride and 250 species of wildlife at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park where they can help feed the lions or see the birds of prey, or along to Exmoor Zoo for yet more specis to see. Not thrilling enough? Let them see stars at the Milky Way Adventure Park with the tallest rollercoaster in Devon, or whirl about the rides and play areas of The Big Sheep.
