  • Small, multi-award-winning and peaceful site in a secluded valley
  • Putsborough beach and Croyde village centre both 15 minutes' walk
  • Immaculate amenities; campfires allowed; pubs within walking distance
If you haven't been to the beach at Woolacombe yet… why ever not? These stunning and award-winning sands have been hailed as the best in all of Britain and among the top in Europe (sometimes even on the entire planet): you'll see why the second you get there… Glimpses of this spectacular stretch of sand can be had from Combas Farm, a family-run site in a secluded valley within sauntering distance of Croyde village. Guests have been returning here for years for the spectacular and handy north Devon setting, as well the warm vibe that owners Gwen and Sally and their team have created: the words 'friendly' and 'helpful' crop up time and again in guests' reviews. Most folk also mightily appreciate the spotlessly kept and modern amenities on the farm too, set in a converted barn and including powerful hot showers, immaculate toilets, a washing-up area and sockets for gadget charging. Camping is in four fields – one with those stunning views over Woolacombe Bay and the others closer to the swish facilities. A half-mile trot along a farm track leads to the shops and pubs of Croyde village; the site is also about a 15-minute stroll from Putsborough beach. Firepits and barbecues are allowed: pick up all you could need for either of these in Braunton, 15 minutes' drive away. Several pubs and restaurants are also within walking distance.

Anna R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Combas Farm is an incredible campsite! We stayed for a week with our 9 month old baby and it was perfect! We were thoughtfully placed in a quiet, sheltered field close to the shower block which was impressively clean and had fridges, charging points and kettles which made light work of our (very) early morning teas. The location is also amazing with beautiful views across the sea from the top field and a short walk to Putsborough beach with beautiful sand and clear waters. Short walk also to Croyde and an easy hike around Baggy Point. Short drive to Iffracombe was also a great day trip. Can’t wait to return when baby is a toddler.

Thanks to Sally and team x

JONATHAN S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved having cow field to ourselves which meant our old dog didn’t have to be tethered. A stroll down the lane took us into Croyde & a short walk took us to the beach.
Everything about the site was perfect clean & really well looked after. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Disliked There isn’t any electric hook up which was fine for us however they have plenty of fridge freezers in the barn if you wanted to use them.

Liked We loved our stay at Combas farm! We visited Croyde for a surfing competition and based ourselves here. 5 * Camping! The owners were lovely and friendly and the facilities were fantastic. Highly recommend choosing to stay here. Kids loved exploring on bikes, buying fresh milkshakes and visiting the sheep.
Thank you for having us!

Local attractions

The nearest beach is Putsborough Sands, at one end of Woolacombe Bay. It's generally a quieter spot than the rest of Woolacombe beach and is just one of the north Devon surfing destinations near the farm. Surf's also up at Saunton Sands, 20 minutes' drive from the farm, and at Croyde and Westward Ho! as well as the main Devon surf spots of Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. The spectacular South West Coast Path is also a must if you're anywhere around the shoreline of England's south west: join it at Croyde for the five-mile stretch to Woolacombe past the National Trust's fably-named Baggy Point, or hike a hefty 15 miles to go further south on the route from Woolacombe to Braunton. Another scenic option for walking – and cycling – is the Tarka Trail, the looping paths following the route of Henry Williamson's fictional otter. This one's accessible from Woolacombe too, but the most popular part is probably the car-free 31 miles between Meeth and Braunton: drop into the Museum of British Surfing at Braunton for the story of south-west surf if you have energy afterwards. More walks? Exmoor National Park is within 40 minutes' drive.
