Browns farm caravan park

  • Family-owned site with spacious pitches on a Devon working farm
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Exeter and the Jurassic Coast
  • Lots of walks in the local area; 10 minutes' walk to cosy village pub
Surrounded by lovely scenery next to the 14th-century farmhouse on a working farm, you’ll probably feel like you’re completely immersed in rural Devon when you stay at Browns Farm Caravan Park. And indeed you will be – the pitches at this family-owned site are spacious and peaceful, and a short drive away from footpaths for walking alone or with your dog by your side. Other outdoor activities including fishing, golf and horse riding can also be tracked down in the local area. Fittingly for a real rural location, there’s a lovely old pub 10 minutes’ walk away in the local village of Woodbury Salterton for drinks and dinner by the log fire under the traditional beams. There’s much more to this place than purely rural outings though, as it’s in an excellent spot for all sorts of days out. City days in Exeter and sandy ones in Budleigh Salterton require a drive of about 15 minutes or so, and there are plenty of attractions nearby too, from the rides of Crealy Theme Park to the floral displays of Bicton Park Botanical Gardens. Wherever you choose to roam, you’ll be coming back to peaceful pitches backed by hedgerows and with access to handy facilities including wifi, a washing-up area, a launderette, chemical disposal and a bathroom block with toilets and showers.

The rural location is appreciated, with nearby pubs and easy access to Exeter and the coast. Some guests noted road noise and occasional farm smells, which are to be expected on a working farm.

Laundry room with washer, dryer & ironing facilities.

Disliked No shop on site or within walking distance for basic supplies.
Cobwebs in ladies toilets.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review we are pleased to hear that you may visit us again. As a small site we are unable to provide an on site shop however as we do not advertise one this should not be unexpected. We are a short drive from both a farm shop and a village shop. It is possible to walk to the shop in the next village and indeed to the farm shop also we are happy to give directions. Cobwebs are routinely removed however spiders are very efficient and a new one can be constructed within 30-40 minutes. Spiders are natures insect repellent and as such provide a useful service their natural habitat is in abundance here so there presence is not optional.

Liked The location is quiet and the campsite is clean . The pitch was large with water and electric on the pitch. The toilets and showers were very clean.
It was so peaceful listening to the birds in the morning

Disliked The roads to the site are narrow and some are single track roads with passing places.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review we are pleased that you liked our site. The Dawn Chorus is a rather lovely start to the day . We recommend that guests access the site using directions from our website these routes are used regularly by large vehicles. Using sat nav can offer inappropriate options.

Will definitely be back

Liked Loved the fact there was only a small amount of pitches so very quiet and owner was very nice

Disliked Loved our pitch out the way great for our dogs and this isn’t a dislike but you do get a little road noise in the early mornings and I must mention it’s a working farm doesn’t bother me I have horses

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review we are pleased to hear that you liked our site. Being a working Farm should come as no surprise to guests as we are advertised as such .We have one row of pitches which are next to an unclassified road. There is a large established hedge between road and site. Whilst there is traffic noise at peak times this row is very popular as it benefits from the afternoon sun.

Local attractions

Time to stretch your legs? The closest spot is Woodbury Common, a mile away and a handy spot for dog walking, but there’s much to explore as the site sits on the edge of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. And of course there’s always the South West Coast Path – the seven-mile stretch from Budleigh Salterton to Sidmouth is a particularly rewarding one. Speaking of the coast, Budleigh Salterton (15 minutes’ drive) is a lovely place for a day out on the sandy beach, but you could also explore the offerings of Exmouth (15 minutes) or Dawlish (half an hour). Keeping it countryside instead, there’s fishing at Hogsbrook Lakes (five minutes), golf at Woodbury Park (five minutes) and the chance to coo over cute animals at either World of Country Life (15 minutes) or The Donkey Sanctuary (20 minutes). To keep the kids entertained for a full day, try the rides, shows, play areas and animal attractions at Crealy Theme Park (five minutes).
