  • Family-friendly site on a farm surrounded by green Devon countryside
  • Westward Ho! beach 20 minutes’ drive; Exmoor National Park 55 minutes
  • Dog-friendly site with dedicated exercise area; easy access from A39
With views that extend as far as Dartmoor National Park, Ashcroft Farm is a small, dog-friendly site on a smallholding surrounded by the stunning countryside of north Devon. The surrounding fields are alive with wildlife, and birds of prey like barn owls and kestrels can frequently be spotted hunting overhead. The hedgerows, meanwhile, burst into bloom in spring and early summer, while wild songbirds will serenade you at dawn and dusk throughout the year. The site also has very low levels of light pollution, meaning that on cloudless evenings the night skies here are studded with stars. All in all, the camping area is around two acres, with the pitches situated around the border of the field, which gives kids plenty of space to play. This is a pet-friendly campsite that appreciates the importance of including the canine members of your family on camping trips. Because of that, you are welcome to build fencing around your unit, and although dogs need to be kept on a lead or tether around the site, a large field is on hand where they can run free under their owners’ supervision. Although very much in a rural location, this site is still easily accessible, as it's roughly two miles from the A39. The village of Woolfardisworthy (or Woolsery, to use its shorter name) is just over a mile away (five minutes’ drive or a 20-minute walk) and is home to a Norman church, a shop and a pub.

What customers say

Ashcroft Farm's a ripper for a peaceful getaway with lush country views. Spacious sites, spick-and-span loos, and a dog field get a big thumbs-up. Owners are a friendly bunch, and it's a great base for exploring North Devon/Cornwall. Just a heads-up on narrow roads and needing a car for shops. Showers can be a bit cool at peak times.

Liked Great value for Money, clean and lovely space to chill out in the van. Loved that they recycle as well 😀
Also, really simple straight forward way to clear your bill without being delayed by meeting at a gate etc.

Keep going down the road from Ashcroft farm building as it’s about 1K up the road from where the postcode takes you too. Didn’t get the what three words as they will get lost in the thread.

Liked Location, great clean toilets and hot showers, spacious pitch, not crowded.
Woolsery 24hr milk vending machine, cracking milkshakes as well, Farmers Arms in the local village does amazing food, it’s linked to the shop which is completely not what you expect, it’s like a miniature Waitrose but with additional local produce. Just down the road at bucks cross there is the Bake shed, which looks like one of those things to buy eggs from but is an amazing mini bakery, deffo worth seeking out. The local coast has loads of places to walk and visit.

Disliked Nothing, it was perfect for us.

Powered grass site (sloping)

Liked First time camping in Devon and very pleased with Ashcroft farm. We were on pitch 6 which was at the very bottom and furthest from toilet/showers but didn't bother us. Slightly on the slope but again didn't bother us. Very soft grass and kids running bearfoot, lots of space around and in the middle of the field for kids to play and run around. Very quiet except of owls and other animals at night of course 😆 washing machine £3 /dryer £5 available , mini fridge freezer available, very clean all around the farm. Not too far from the beaches and other places to see and lovely milk vending machine only 2 mins away!

Disliked Maybe was just me but every time (was twice) I had a shower water was barely warm but I did go later in the evening..

Local attractions

The Milky Way Adventure Park (10 minutes’ drive) has both outdoor and indoor attractions, which makes it a great option for days when you can’t quite work out what the weather has in store. Highlights include a ninja obstacle course, enormous bouncing pillows and a couple of roller coasters. There are also gentle rides for younger children, plus birds of prey displays. Some of the best beaches of the north Devon coast are within a short driving distance of the site. Buck’s Mills (10 minutes) is known for its rockpools and for the waterfall tumbling down a rugged cliff, while Westward Ho! beach (20 minutes), a vast expanse of sand fringed by a ridge of pebbles, is popular with surfers. Keen hikers will not want to miss a day exploring Exmoor National Park (55 minutes), where they can walk through such diverse landscapes as moorlands and woodlands, as well as dramatic coastal paths. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife, from red deer to the resident animal gardeners, the grazing Exmoor ponies.
