Didwell Farm Campsite: Views over the sea

General

  • Small family-friendly site in the South Hams two miles from the coast
  • Within walking distance of the South West Coast Path and beaches
  • Barbecues allowed; pub, restaurant and café within walking distance

Set up for sweet sea views and countryside courses in the South Hams… a small, family-friendly and dog-friendly site on a working livestock farm, Didwell Farm Campsite is well-positioned for clifftop wanders, catching waves or whiling the day away on the sand, within walking distance of Thurlestone and coastal paths.

Down to the sea you go… with grassy pitches sloping down towards the valley, it’s easy to see your end destination. It’s a 35-minute walk to the South West Coast Path. From there, take your pick from Thurlestone’s five sandy beaches (all pretty splendid swimming spots).

There are surfboards for hire and watersports galore at Bantham beach (an hour’s walk), the rockpools and rock archway at the National Trust’s South Milton Sands (40 minutes) or plenty of wildlife around the South Huish Wetlands Reserve’s boardwalks (40 minutes).

No matter how far you walk or paddle out, there’s always a place to prop your feet back on site. The back to basics pitches are an easy-going place to unwind… perhaps rustle up a barbecue or take yourself off on a wander to source some tasty eats.

Handily, there’s a café down by South Milton Sands and a restaurant and pub 35 minutes’ walk away from the site. If you’re looking to stock up on general food supplies, Kingsbridge (a market town with an indoor pool and bowling) is an easy five-minute drive away too. Here, you may take your pick from fish and chip shops, pubs and other cosy restaurants.

Please note

Under 18s must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians.

The site does not accept breeds/crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act (i.e. Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro).

Guests are advised to bring a good quality torch with them as parts of the site are unlit.

At least one of the party members must be aged 18 or over.

    Everything about it!! Well looked after site, a barn stocked with fridges, freezers, microwave, mugs, tea & coffee, 2 electric showers which were very spacious, charging points for devices, all very well thought out. Was a bit anxious about the compostable toilets but they were actually OK!! Brilliant recycling ethos, would definitely return.

    It's a little gem of a find. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The site is lovely with amazing views. The facilities are great. The compost toilets have been very well made and are a pleasure to use. The showers are clean and spacious. There is a communal barn area with complimentary tea and coffee, fridges that the campers can use.
    They have really thought about everything.

    A great site. The owner keeps the number of pitches low, so there’s plenty of space. Really well thought-out facilities and maintained extremely well with the owner making sure everything is in great shape all the time.

Beautiful, well equipped, but basic site.19/08/2022

  • Liked: 

    For a 'back-to-basics' campsite, this site has a lot to offer. The view of the sea between the hills is lovely. The owners are welcoming and friendly. A barn area has been set up with fridges, plug sockets (good for phones), complementary tea and coffee and two spacious wet-rooms with warm showers. Recycling is actively encouraged and the site makes good provision for this. Although the loos are compost-type, they are kept very clean. There is good access to any number of beautiful beaches nearby (we liked Thurlestone), and there are many good inns and restaurants within driving distance.

    Disliked: 

    The camping field is on a slope, so a nice uphill or downhill walk to the facilities. (not a problem for most, but needs considering if you have mobility issues) The access roads require good reversing skills as there is not always room for passing - however, drivers we encountered were all polite.

Hot showers, fresh and clean composting toilets with outdoor sink. Shady barn with tables and info guides, tea, coffee, microwave, fridge & fridge freezer, charging point. Logs & rental firepits. Stunning scenery. Plenty to do and see nearby

Local attractions

If you’ve got little ones to entertain, no need to fret. Pennywell Farm (35 minutes' drive) has pig racing, trailer rides and a miniature railway, plus plenty of friendly farm animals for hands-on experiences. Woodlands Family Theme Park (20 minutes) has some slightly more daring rides, including rollercoasters and toboggan runs, as well as a zoo park and falconry.

Or, if you’re still looking to see more animals (and many of the wilder kind), Paignton Zoo Environmental Park (40 minutes) is a good detour. Paignton (45 minutes) itself has seaside resorts vibes in full with a busy beachfront, pier or steam railway rides a little further inland.

A fishing village with thatched cottages… Hope Cove (10 minutes) is a stop off the South West Coast Path and home to two small coves. Take a fishing trip here or set sail from Salcombe (15 minutes), a sailing town. Afterwards, you may want to dedicate some time to browsing the boutique shops, dining in a fine restaurant or taking the ferry to East Portlemouth beach (35 minutes) or South Sands Beach (15 minutes).
