  • Spacious wild camping pitches at an Exmoor farm with sea views
  • A 10-minute drive to Lynton and Lynmouth; 15 minutes to Exmoor Zoo
  • Firepits available to borrow, with logs to buy on site
If it’s spectacular views, coastal strolls and wild camping vibes that you rate highly, head over to Berry’s Ground Lane Campsite, part of a farm within the Exmoor National Park just outside of the pretty north Devon hamlet of Martinhoe. This pretty place is half an hour's drive from Barnstaple and a 10-minute walk from the South West Coast Path, meaning the seaside strolls galore… As you might expect from such a cracking location, the views here are rather spectacular, looking out over the pristine countryside and with sea views from some pitches. You may also spot deer loitering in the neighbouring fields (and this is one of the reasons why, although dogs are allowed, they must be kept on leads while on site). Keeping these gorgeous surroundings as nature intended means that the pitches here are very much in the ‘wild camping’ style, although they do have access to composting loos. Each pitch is around half an acre in size, so there’s plenty of space to run about, play games, fly kites or just relax. Campfires are permitted too (but only in firepits, which are available to borrow free of charge) and logs are available to buy. For either of these you’ll need to drop the site a line in advance so they can sort them out for you. Loud music, however, is not permitted in order to preserve the peace of the place; you’ll be asked to take all rubbish away with you as well. There are of course heaps of excellent walks to take around here – either along the coast path or out into the countryside looking out for wild ponies (and cosy pubs). For beach time, head to Lynton and Lynmouth (10 minutes’ drive) or get your surfboard and set off to Woolacombe (half an hour).

Sam J.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (wild)

Liked Incredible views of the coast over the hills of the coast - the best sunset I can remember seeing in England.

Hosts came to say hi on arrival and offered a firepit for rent.

Easy access from road, and can access the South West Coast Path via a (quite overgrown) path across the roman hill Fort, accessible directly from the farm.

Very clean and well maintained basic toilet facilities.

Local attractions

It’s an hour’s walk from the site to a stunning stretch on the South West Coast Path with wild goats, named the Valley of Rocks. Plus, more great seaside spots can be tracked down slightly further out… Perhaps the villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (10 minutes' drive) with their sea kayaking tours and cliff railways or beach days and boat trips to Lundy Island from Ilfracombe (half an hour). There's swimming, surfing and horse riding in Woolacombe (half an hour) too. With Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes) and Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (20 minutes) also a short car ride away, fans of wildlife will also be in for a treat. Otherwise, climb into a Victorian railway carriage for a memorable steam train ride at The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Company (five minutes). Watermouth Castle (25 minutes) is another historical spot, but with rides, slides and shows for kids.
