  • Peaceful South Hams eco site overlooking the Kingsbridge estuary
  • A 15-minute drive to Salcombe, the South West Coast Path and Hope Cove
  • Kingsbridge’s shops, pubs and restaurants within walking distance
Sign in for sweet views over the Kingsbridge estuary – scenic vistas and farming landscapes are a given at Woodhouse Farm in Devon's South Hams. A 15-minute drive from Salcombe, the South West Coast Path and Hope Cove, this eco site is well-situated for ticking off coves, seaside towns and fishing villages, whether that’s through swims, kayaking or simply sinking down into your preferred sandy (or shingle) spot. Reached via the Old Salcombe Road in Kingsbridge, the site itself is part of a mixed farm passed down four generations. As you may expect, things are pretty peaceful here, so you’ll really be able to take in the views. On a hilltop overlooking the estuary, the scenery is pretty memorable too. Itching to head out once you’ve parked up? Kingsbridge is 15 minutes’ walk away from the site, and you should be able to track down all the essentials in this ancient market town, as it has plenty of shops, restaurants, cafés and splendid riverside pubs, plus an arts and yoga centre, history museum and a convenient ferry link to Salcombe. In Salcombe (15 minutes' drive), boating and crabbing activities are on the menu, as is a gin distillery. Other cool spots include Thurlestone Golf Club (15 minutes) and Totnes (half an hour), which has heritage sites, a vineyard and ferries to Kingswear for the Dartmouth steam railway. The site is mainly about getting cosy in the outdoors, but there is a nice range of simple facilities including the option of a hot shower in a cubicle or a cold outdoor shower, two eco toilets with sinks and a mains cold-water tap. Happily, dogs are welcome on the site too, so you’ll get to sit with your well-behaved canine companion by your feet.

What customers say

Fantastic estuary views, great spot near Kingsbridge. Super clean eco-facilities (toilets/showers good, though some found showers cool). Peaceful, friendly hosts, free logs for campfires a treat. Minor notes on grass clippings & shower privacy/warmth.

Lucy R.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (two person)

Liked Beautiful view and close to the town which was accessible by foot. Facilities were clean and saw staff regularly which was reassuring. Wood for fires were provided which was a nice touch.

Disliked Only two toilets (drop holes) and one shower, which could be an issue during busier months. The washing up station was just a bottle of cold soapy water so not the most hygienic in terms of being able to wash up.

Recommend to friends Visit again

We would definitely come back in the future.

Gerald C.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (solo)

Liked Friendly, chatty staff who do regular check-ins. Extremely well maintained facilities and clean, well stocked toilets. Free wood! Quiet campsite with a beautiful view of the creek and estuary. 10 minute walk from town.

Disliked Needed a small play area for little children, in addition to the goal posts. The steep hill, but it was essential for the view, so worth the climb.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Pleasant and relaxing. Looking forward to visiting you again.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (two person)

Liked Great location as its only walking distance from the town (make sure you take the shortcut to the city centre), stunning views day and clear sight for star gazing at night. Similarly, the facilities were clean and the team in Woodhouse Farm gave extra service touch that stand out from other campsites I visited before. I highly recommend it, thanks Woodhouse Farm Eco camping team!

Local attractions

Up first, perhaps beaches? Thurlestone (15 minutes’ drive) is best known for its rockpool rummaging activities, gorgeous sandy beaches and watersports. Then there’s the fishing village of Hope Cove (15 minutes), which has two beaches of its own, each with safe swimming shallows (and art galleries waiting back on dry land). You may prefer to stick to the South West Coast Path (15 minutes), where walks can be as long as you wish. If it’s just a short and sweet stroll you fancy, the tropical gardens at the National Trust’s Overbeck’s (20 minutes) should hit the spot. Perhaps it’s Slapton Sands (20 minutes) that takes your liking, what with its scenic shingle beach and the Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve for more peaceful walks. You may choose to rest your feet at Bigbury beach (25 minutes) instead, where there are sea tractor rides to Burgh Island or kayaks and other water vessels available for rent. For theme park rides, a zoo farm and falconry centre to entertain the kids, head to Woodlands Family Theme Park (20 minutes).
