Hillside Camping

Getting out to Devon's boatloads of attractions and activities is an easy task indeed at Hillside Camping. Locally, the biggest draw (especially for families with kids) is probably the Milky Way Adventure Park (10 minutes' drive), an action-packed place full of entertaining activities and farm-themed japes. A quarter of an hour up the road in another direction is the Big Sheep, a family-friendly park with live shows, rides and up-close animal encounters. Older kids, teens and grownups may prefer to try out boarding basics at any one of north Devon's surf schools – Westward Ho! (20 minutes), Bude (30 minutes) and Croyde (55 minutes) are all good bets – while freshwater watersports fans are an easy 10-minute trip from North Devon Wake Park. Just outside the farm fields you will come across plenty of paths through the surrounding forests for long or short walks, while further afield there are more strolling spots to explore – as well as the South West Coast Path, you could set out in search of otters and birdlife along the Tarka Trail (20 minutes) or amble around Appledore and Northam Burrows Country Park (25 minutes).
