  • Working dairy farm site with sea views on the Hartland Peninsula
  • A 10-minute drive from Hartland Quay; 15 minutes from Clovelly
  • Walking distance from Hartland’s shops, pubs and eateries
Paying a visit to the Hartland Peninsula for its handsome coastline and characterful coastal towns? From Pitt Farm Camping in North Devon, you’ll be able to tackle the coast full throttle, as this working farm site is just 10 minutes’ drive away from Hartland Quay and 15 minutes from the particularly pretty Clovelly… that means seafood lunches and meeting the donkeys at this ancient fishing village are not so far away. And what of the site itself? Well, this site is a working dairy farm on the Hartland Peninsula. The family have farmed in this area for generations and this specific farm for 25 years, so it’s well looked after and includes a modern toilet and shower block, spacious pitches and, of course, plenty of peace and quiet tucked away from the well-trodden tracks. Devotee of the outdoors? No problem. From the farm, you’ll have ample opportunities to get out into the area's diverse landscapes, as there are miles of clifftop walks, secluded beaches and marine wildlife in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll still be nicely close to the shops, markets and local events in Hartland though, as it’s 20 minutes’ walk away through woodlands. Once you’ve hit the village, you might want to dip into one of its pubs and eateries (or there are many more spread out over the peninsula). This is rural Devon, so it's a good idea to make sure you've planned ahead – for example, the nearest petrol station in Bideford (half an hour’s drive) or Bude (35 minutes).

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Everything ! The site and farm were quiet and clean. Michelle and Michael were perfect hosts. Gentle, caring folk who made time for a chat and happy to help with anything. I loved my stay there despite some horrendous weather. I highly recommended their site for somewhere gentle, quite and a big sky.

Daniel M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Spacious field where you get to pitch where you want. Quiet surroundings other than the working Farm the campsite is situated on but it wasn't noticeable to us tbf. It's run by lovely attentive people who will endeavour to make sure your stay is what you want it to be. Clean facilities that are maintained a couple of times a day so that was nice for us as a young family with small children.

Disliked: Only thing that could be conceived as a dislike is that the campsite is a good couple of miles off of the main roads down one track lanes which can be a little hairy at times but if you are sensible and enjoy the fact you are in the end of nowhere and are happy to travel to locations then this is the place for you.

Local attractions

Buckle in, because family-friendly theme parks are not far away from here. Whether it’s the bumper cars, mini coasters or obstacle arena at The Milky Way Adventure Park (10 minutes’ drive) or the animal shows, twister and tractor rides at The BIG Sheep (25 minutes), the mini family members (and older ones, too) will be in for some traditional amusement. To the coast… the Ultimate Adventure Centre (25 minutes) will help you explore the shoreline in several ways, thanks to its coasteering activities and surf school (or there’s a high ropes course and assault course on drier land). And elsewhere, Welcombe Mouth Beach (25 minutes) may be quite a quiet spot, but it’s still surfing friendly and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its stylish rock formations. Along the South West Coast Path, Speke's Mill Mouth Waterfall (10 minutes) is another properly scenic spot. Over in Hartland, there are more coastal walks and swimming at Hartland Quay (10 minutes) or an older-style outing at Hartland Abbey (five minutes), a 12th-century abbey and 15th-century mill.
