General
- Riverside campsite on a Devon farm, 25 minutes' drive from Barnstaple
- A 20-minute drive from Exmoor National Park; 50 minutes to Croyde Bay
- Dog-friendly, no-frills camping with river views and grazing sheep
South Ford Farm Camping is a small, family-run pop-up site in north Devon, set peacefully alongside a river. Here you can get far, far away from the rat race to watch sheep grazing in the fields, paddle in the river and enjoy the sunset along with your evening barbecue (bring your own equipment). On clear nights, just lie back and watch the Milky Way twinkling far above.
Watersports enthusiasts, this is a great base for you. The farm is a 50-minute drive from some of Devon’s most popular surfing beaches, including Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay and Woolacombe. You can explore the wild moorland of Exmoor National Park on foot, horseback or bike, and if the weather’s not co-operating for you, treat the kids to the indoor pool and climbing wall in South Molton, or give beekeeping a go at Quince Honey Farm.
A 10-minute drive away, South Molton is your nearest town. Here you can pick up bits in the supermarket or root around artisan food stalls at the Pannier Market (every Thursday and Saturday). For big shopping trips (and restaurants serving all kinds of food) Barnstaple (25 minutes) is your best bet.
This is a laidback, simple site with a handful of amenities, including a shower block, washing-up station and recycling facilities. Dogs are welcome, but please, not at pitches by the river.
