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 (including disabled facilities).

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet rural setting with easy walk to the village pub. Loved hearing the cows in the morning and evenings.
Simple facilities but clean and tidy, Owners were friendly and helpful
No children when we stayed, probably too quiet for them.
We will be staying again as only short distance from home.

Disliked: I wish we had been on the opposite side which got the evening sun but not a dislike, just a preference.

From the manager: Thank you for your review we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We are always happy to accommodate guests pitch preferences when possible so please do ask on your reservation should you decide to visit again.

Liked: This has to be one of the quietest campsites we have been to. If you want peace and quiet and yet not too far from the wonderful beaches Devon has to offer then you can't go wrong with browns farm. Hosts are friendly and happily accommodated our requirement. This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and will definitely be back when down this way again. Many thanks

Liked: Facilities good. Ideally situated for exeter, Exmouth, Sidmouth and numerous other beaches.

Disliked: Only downside is there is nowhere to walk the dogs for a wee.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leaving a review. As a working farm we are unable to provide a dedicated dog walking area for reasons mentioned in the past and indeed do not advertise one. There are large grassy areas on site we just ask that guest do clear up after their pets. We are close to numerous footpaths and lanes with verges. For the energetic we are within walking distance to Woodbury Common an area of outstanding natural beauty. Local information is available on site and we are always happy to help if asked.

Fab stay will go again

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).
