Five-acre farm site with quiet, level-grounded dog-friendly pitches
A 15-minute drive from the coast; 20 minutes to Dartmoor National Park
Pub, small food shop and footpaths nearby

Surfing up your street? Perhaps you have a flame for sailing, canoeing or coastal paths? A 15-minute drive away from the Devon coast and 20 minutes from Dartmoor National Park, Higher Seawardstone Farm is well-situated for making the most of the surf and sand, as well as hiking past Dartmoor’s ponies and river valleys, depending on which way you choose to go. Between Totnes and Kingsbridge or Dartmouth and Dartmoor, the pitches are in a peaceful pocket of the countryside on a five-acre farm with no road noise. The site is level-grounded and looks out over the countryside and sea, meaning you’ll be waking up to some rather splendid scenery. Dogs are welcome here, so it’s a good job that you’ll be surrounded by such quiet rural surroundings. There are many dog walks and footpaths surrounding the site. If kids want to bring their own games, a five-acre field is at their disposal. Other handy bits nearby include a small food shop and local pubs, a few minutes' drive from base. Those of you who worked up a good sweat on the footpaths or beaches will be particularly happy to find the site has an amenities block with showers and toilets. Aside from that, facilities on site include drinking water and a chemical disposal point. While there is no wifi at Higher Seawardstone Farm, there is good mobile internet coverage.

Local attractions

Make your way over the clifftops by following the South West Coast Path (15 minutes’ drive) and plan in plenty of pitstops for Cornish cream teas as you pass by the towns. There are plenty of coastal locations that will break up any hike or coastal drive with watersports or boat trips, such as Blackpool Sands (15 minutes) or Dartmouth (20 minutes). While you’re in Dartmouth, you’ll get to tick off Dartmouth Castle. Walk in the footsteps of former soldiers and Victorian workers as you explore the battery passageways and the gun tower. But where else must you tick off your Devon bucket list? Paignton (half an hour) has beaches, a pier, a geopark and the Paignton Zoo Environmental Park (half an hour). Dartmoor National Park (20 minutes) has gorgeous landscapes and hikes galore, of course, including the Dartmoor Way heritage trail. Then, there’s the family-friendly theme park at Woodlands Leisure Park (10 minutes) or the National Trust’s Overbeck's (half an hour), which was once the home of inventor Otto Overbeck, left to visit too - and they're both well worth the visit.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Not overly busy so had a lot of space for activities and didn’t feel claustrophobic. Good facilities. Location. Views were stunning. Left campsite a bit later than checkout time, host very pleasant and helpful.

Disliked: Nearby kennels very loud during the night, difficult to sleep. Dogs had to be kept on lead so couldn’t let my dog burn off steam in the meadow.

From the manager: Hi Nick Great to meet you all , we are glad you enjoyed your stay .and hope your wife her work at Darlington Storm Betty did pass through on your last night as it did through the whole of Devon/ Cornwall and wales. Despite that all tents / caravans were fine as we have a large hedge behind so it goes over the top , just noisy. . I wouldn’t be so harsh with 6/10 for your caravan I would have said 7/10 😁
