  • Peaceful site near Combe Martin, with views over the coast
  • A 15-minute drive from Ilfracombe and Exmoor Zoo
  • On the edge of Exmoor National Park and a mile from the coast path
What an enviable Exmoor location this is for a Devon camping holiday: Silver View Camping is just on the edge of the national park and around five minutes’ drive from the beach at Combe Martin. Pitches, covering two fields, have fine views over the valley and out to sea; on a clear day you’ll get glimpses of Lundy island (which you can also visit on boat trips from Ilfracombe, 15 minutes’ drive away). The setup is all very eco-friendly and relaxed: think of it as being a bit like wild camping but with the added luxury of access to drinking water, compost and flushing toilets, showers and a rubbish/recycling point. Campfires are generally allowed too for that true outdoor evening experience – the team here just ask that you consult with them first if planning a campfire or firepit, and pay attention to safety (raising your firepit off the ground and making sure all the flames are fully extinguished before you leave it). Please buy all of your wood on site. This is a handily located site for all sorts of days out – it’s about a mile from here to the South West Coast Path, and only a tiny bit further to kayak and paddleboard hire at Combe Martin beach (truly the way to explore, say the owners – and you might meet seals or dolphins along the way). There are plenty more walks and activities to be had around Exmoor National Park too, and plenty of ways to keep the kids amused with trips to Exmoor Zoo and the Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park.

What customers say

This peaceful, wild camping spot boasts cracking country and sea views. Spacious sites, with clean, basic facilities (hot showers, charging ports). Some note the exposed hillside and narrow road, but most rave about the friendly staff and laid-back vibe. Steep walk to Combe Martin, but doable. Great value for nature buffs.

 Becky E. 1 review

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Views were great, plenty of space. Flushable loos which were kept nice and clean. And the showers were great and also kept clean. Washing up station, freezer for your ice packs. And a bonus was standard plug and usb socket chargers in a little room with sofas should you need to sit out any adverse weather.
Logs can be bought from staff, who were super friendly and up for a chat. Not the best logs, but still when they are banned in many places they were pretty chill about it. The staff also were present without interference and friendly you don’t feel ‘watched’.
Overall and nice chill basic, clean site. with everything you need. Can even get a taxi to avoid the slog of a walk up the hill from the village!

Liked Location was perfect for a quiet couple of nights away

Disliked We had the displeasure to be approached by a man who worked there. He said I'd this your dog. We replied yes . He literally just said you need a lead. But I'm a rude way. That was enough for us to want to leave.
Other than the rude member of staff it was lovely

From the manager: Dear Camper
Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns.
I am sorry to hear you were unhappy with your interaction with our site manager. We expect all members of our team to treat visitors with courtesy and respect and take all feedback seriously.
Having reviewed the matter, I would like to explain that our site operates a strict policy requiring all dogs to be kept on a lead at all times. This rule is in place to ensure the safety and comfort of all visitors and other animals on the site, and is an important condition of using our facilities.
Our site manager was carrying out their responsibility by reminding you of this requirement. While we appreciate that being approached in these circumstances can sometimes feel uncomfortable,it is essential that the rule is applied consistently and fairly to everyone.
If you feel the manner in which the reminder was given fell below the standard you would expect, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention . At the same time, we ask for your understanding and cooperation in complying with any dog-on-lead policy .

Thank you for your understanding.

Liked Fabulous views.
Quiet campsite.
Clean facilities.
Half hour walk down to Coombe Martin cove. Steep walk back up but more than worth it for the tranquility.
Only £20 per night.

Local attractions

To the beach? It’s a fine suggestion, as some of north Devon’s top spots are close by. The peaceful stretch of shingle and sand at Combe Martin is your closest option (five minutes’ drive) and a lovely sheltered spot for swimming or paddleboarding. A little further along the coast, stop in at Ilfracombe (15 minutes) for the unusual Tunnels beaches accessed via hand-carved tunnels, or to board boat trips for a sea safari or an outing to Lundy island. There’s an aquarium here too for a handy damp-day activity. Woolacombe (25 minutes) is another good choice for a beach trip, especially if you’re into your surfing. Away from the coast there are plenty of other options for family days out, including Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (five minutes) and Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes) for animal encounters and Watermouth Castle (10 minutes) for rides and kid-friendly attractions. You may also like to see all the old vehicles at Arlington Court & National Trust Carriage Museum, take a ride on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (both 15 minutes) or pedal bikes along the traffic-free Tarka Trail from Barnstaple (25 minutes).
