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.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (plus)

Liked We stayed here just to break up our journey. It’s a basic field with decent gravel / grass pitches and that’s exactly what it is.

Facilities are old fashioned but clean - shower, toilet and washing up area all do the job. There’s nothing more on site so don’t expect a shop, pub or play area.

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 again. We are a basic site and our pricing structure reflects this. As we do not advertise pub, shop or a play area this should not be unexpected. Many of our younger guests enjoy the large central grass are for ball games etc and we are within walking distance of our village pub. We are a short drive or a 30 minute walk from a well regarded farm shop there is also a shop in the next village about a 10minute walk away. We are always happy to offer directions.

Good facilities in a pleasant site.…

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (premium)

Liked Stayed here in our caravan with my young son and dog for 10 nights.
I would class this site as a back to basics camp site, nothing fancy.
Yes it is next to a working farm so expect tractors and cows, but i didn't find any of it disturbing noise wise.
It has a toilet block, 1 shower in the men's side, an accessible toilet, laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer which you pay for, 2 additional showers in the same room as the laundry room so unisex. 2 outside sinks for dish washing and 1 sink in the laundry room.
Chemical toilet disposal/cleaning area.
Hardstandings are hard, bring a good claw hammer and solid pegs (claw hammer is good for getting the pegs back out the ground) a rubber mallet won't do it, might be due to the ground being so dry at present.
The site has a central grass area, good enough for a quick dog walk/play. It feels bigger than the photos show but is only about 30 pitches.
It's quiet, in a rural setting but not far from local beaches, Exmouth beach is good and worth a visit, or the beach down by the lifeboat station which dogs are allowed on, be mindful of tides if you walk towards the cliffs as you can get cut off.
In all, I would dismiss all the negative comments, it's very clear what this site is, if you want a site that has modern toilet blocks etc, then go for the sites that are £50+ a night.
This site is perfect as a base to go and explore, or if you want somewhere that is quiet and are happy with basics.
Yes there are families here, but also single campers and couples.
My son had a great time being able to play freely with other children on the central grass area, which is pretty much secure for them.
I would definitely pay to come here again and will probably return next year.
The owners are very nice too and very helpful.
Note, all roads to the site are single track, follow the directions given on their website.

Disliked There was nothing that I disliked about this site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we are pleased to hear that you had a good stay and indeed will visit again.
We welcome our canine guests and make no charge for their stay. As no dog walk is advertised it should not be unexpected. As a working livestock Farm we are unable to provide one. The large grass field adjacent to the site may well look a possibility but the grass grown there is for feed and as canine waste can be toxic and even fatal to bovines it is simply not an option. There are number of dog walking options close by many featured on our notice board and we are always happy to give advice.

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).
