Peaceful coastal site in Exmoor National Park with sea views
Combe Martin and Ilfracombe within a 10-minute drive
Private footpath to pub, coast path and Watermouth Castle

If you like a sea view, find it handy to be able to get out and about without driving and are rather partial to a freshly baked pastry, you should be pretty pleased with the offerings at Little Meadow Caravan and Camping Site. This small and quiet site is up on the north Devon coast within Exmoor National Park, and one of its top selling points is the fact that it’s got gorgeous sweeping views over the Bristol Channel in one direction and Exmoor’s Hangman Hills in the other. The grounds have been cleverly terraced to make the most of that coastal outlook, and the views have been boosted further with flower-filled borders all around. Getting out to explore the area is easily done here – the site is accessed from the A399 for drivers and there’s also a handy bus stop a couple of minutes’ walk away for jaunts to places like Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. Meanwhile, a private 500-metre footpath leads from the site to Watermouth Castle, where crossing the road takes you on to the South West Coast Path. Back on site, you’ll be staying in a peaceful spot with abundant wildlife – keep your eyes peeling for badgers, rabbits, buzzards and sea birds, as well as porpoises out at sea. There’s a good list of useful facilities too, including a play area, a dog park, a laundry room and a local information point as well as men’s and women’s bathroom facilities. And those pastries? Freshly baked croissants and baguettes are available on site every morning, and the shop stocks locally sourced jams, meats and drinks. Barbecues are permitted, and there’s a pub half a mile away.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Super friendly and informative staff at this absolutely stunning location with a breathtaking sea view.
In fact the photos on the site don’t do this location justice.
Very close to Watermouth Castle and the harbour with the most picturesque scenery and cafes and pubs within walking distance.
Very clean shower facilities and everything clearly labelled

Disliked I liked everything although the shop deserves a little upgrade.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The view was great. It was extremely peaceful & great to switch off. The dog walking field was perfect. The location was great- morning swims at Watermouth harbour just a few minutes walk.

Disliked We felt the facilities could’ve been cleaner - liked everything else & would still return.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you here again. Could you get in touch about how you feel the facilities could have been cleaner? It would be helpful for me to know what. Other campers during your stay reviewed saying how clean everything was. I do know that there was a very strong easterly wind which brought a lot of dust onto the site and the amenities with it being so dry and the hay was made also causing dust. Hope to hear from you.

Electric grass pitch (large)

Liked The views are fantastic, the service is friendly and the site is well located and maintained. The optional freshly cooked hot pastries for breakfast are delish, and the view from the washing up sinks had to be one of the best anywhere!

Disliked I think we could have done with one more sink in the ladies' bathroom area, people were queuing one evening to clean their teeth!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely site, with views over Ilfracombe Bay. Clean facilities and peaceful site.

Disliked Not a dislike, just to be aware, the top tiers of the site have a steep walk up. Difficult if your mobility or fitness isn't great.

Route directions

Satnav is not the most reliable way to find this site; please use these instructions instead. The entrance is best approached from the Ilfracombe direction due to a sharp turn into the driveway when approaching from Combe Martin, which can be very difficult for anyone in a large campervan or motorhome or towing a caravan or trailer. If you arrive from Combe Martin you can turn around in the Hele Bay Garage which is a mile along the road. The driveway signed Lydford Farm is NOT the entrance to the campsite. If you are towing a caravan please let the site know in advance if you are driving a four-wheel drive car. Little Meadow is on the 301 bus route.

Local attractions

With water gardens, vintage arcade games, a big river ride and lots of other fun activities – plus the castle itself, of course – Watermouth Castle has plenty to offer for all sorts of tastes. And as it’s only a 15-minute walk from the site you should certainly drop in there at some point. After that, maybe the rockpools of Combe Martin beach (five minutes’ drive), a wild time at Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (10 minutes) or an outing to Ilfracombe (10 minutes) for the Tunnels beaches and Lundy boat trips? Woolacombe (25 minutes) is another popular beach – especially for surfers – and there are excellent coast walks around Valley of Rocks (35 minutes). Family days out might take you to Exmoor Zoo (20 minutes) or The Big Sheep (45 minutes); more grownup options nearby include Marwood Hill Gardens (20 minutes), National Trust - Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum (25 minutes) and the gorgeous RHS Garden Rosemoor (55 minutes).
