  • Laidback dog-friendly north Devon site with sea views from pitches
  • In Exmoor National Park and on the South West Coast Path
  • Horse riding and 'goat café' on site, plus bar with home-made cider
You’re off to the north Devon coast and Exmoor National Park, so presumably you’re hoping for beaches, coast walks, outdoor activities… and maybe a pint of local cider to round off the day? Well, you’ll get all of those at Caffyns Farm, a 160-acre property 10 minutes’ drive from Lynton and Lynmouth – oh, and you’ll get a ‘goat café’ too… This attractive location has sea views from its pitches, giving you a hint that you’re not far from the coast here. In fact, it’s an easy 20-minute walk to the nearest beach, Lee Bay, and as the South West Coast Path runs along the site perimeter, you’ll also be able to walk to places like Woody Bay, Valley of Rocks and Heddon’s Mouth. So that’s a winning location, but there’s more to come – because this is a friendly and laidback place where you can choose your own pitch, get your barbecue or campfire going and generally chill out. You’re welcome to take a wander around the farm to meet the friendly animals (sheep, alpacas and chickens among them) and maybe sign up for horse riding activities – they cater for all levels from beginners to advanced riders. After a walk through the orchard there’s only one thing for it – a pint of the farm’s own cider, of course. You can sample this alongside other drinks in the site’s bar, and also pick up snacks and barbecue supplies in the farm shop. Meanwhile, meals from breakfasts to three-course dinners are available in the barn café. Essential facilities on site include freshwater standpipes, a chemical disposal point, a launderette, two bathroom blocks and a kitchen with fridge/freezer and microwave.

This organised farm campsite boasts stunning sea/countryside views, roomy pitches & a chilled vibe. Staff are a gem, shop's well-stocked, cafe/bar serves tasty grub & local cider. Toilets/showers are usually clean with hot water. Great for dogs, with coastal paths & farm critters nearby. Minor gripes: long grass & rare facility cleans.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Farm was very clean and staff were friendly and inviting. When first arrived was welcomed at reception and provided very useful information about the farm and a map of the surrounding area which was helpful.
There were also cold water taps jotted around the site which was convenient.
Toilet and shower blocks were clean and the showers were clean and the rain fall shower heads were refreshing with the heat.
Onsite shop/bar were well equipped with all the essential items.
Overall a great stay and will definitely be visiting again.

Disliked Nothing. Site was clean and staff were helpful & friendly.

Liked La vue, le cadre naturel, la liberté, les services présents sur le camping (restaurant, supérette, bar ...).
Nous avons pris le temps de prendre un cream tea sur place, ainsi qu'un english breakfast, nous nous sommes régalés
Mention spéciale pour la ballade vers Valler of Rocks, et Lynton-Lynmouth, au départ du camping !

Liked Lovely views, friendly festival atmosphere, good cider, local walks to the valley of the rocks

Liked Warm and friendly welcome on arrival. We were given lots of useful information about site layout and all the facilities available.
Very flexible arrival and departure times.
Great path from campsite to coast path, well signposted. Lovely to see all the farm animals on the way down to Lee Bay.

Disliked Would have been a ten star rating if the grass had been cut.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Great facilities. Food was really good and reasonably priced. Cider was lovely, which was made at the farm. Well stocked shop, selling just about everything you could possibly need.

Disliked The weather was sometimes too hot, but nothing to do with Caffyn’s!

Liked Brilliant Staff
Nice Location
Beautiful Views
Food in Barn was very yummy

Disliked Grass was rather long so found lots of ticks on my partner and I. Bathrooms mostly clean but some guests left mess, not much the staff can do about that though. Showers hot only, no temperature control which in a heatwave wasn't brilliant. Bring flip flops to shower in, decking immediately outside shower traps a lot of dirt mud and hair. Moldy shower curtains
Bit expensive for what you get

Local attractions

You’ll be well placed for lots of Exmoor’s top spots when you stay here, including the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (10 minutes’ drive), the gorge and waterfalls of National Trust - Watersmeet (15 minutes) and the ever-popular Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes). A little further afield, you may like to make your way across the old clapper bridge at Tarr Steps (45 minutes) or conquer Exmoor’s highest point at the 519-metre Dunkery Beacon (40 minutes). If you’re here on a family holiday, you may like to plan outings to places like Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (20 minutes) or Watermouth Castle (half an hour), which has crazy golf, a toboggan run and rides and activities galore in its 17 acres of gardens. And of course there’s always the option of a day at the beach. Family favourites nearby include Woolacombe (35 minutes) and Minehead (40 minutes), along with Ilfracombe (half an hour), which is also the launching point for boat trips to Lundy island.
