  • 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.

What customers say

Great farm campsite with awesome sea views, heaps of room on pitches, and a chill vibe. Staff are legends, shop's got it all, and the cafe's top-notch for tucker and cider. Animals, horse rides, and walks are big hits. Facilities are usually sweet, bar a bit of a scrub needed in the showers sometimes. Bit of a climb to the beach.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We loved how laid back the vibes were - we were free to do our own thing, pitch up where we wanted, and fire pits were allowed / facilitated, all whilst having fantastic facilities like the showers/toilets/shop/bar. The fact there are goats and ponies etc, all in the incredibly coastal setting and a stones throw from the beach makes this place an absolute gem - we'll be back!

Liked Lovely relaxed site, no pitch numbers you can camp where you like.
Loads of facilities, which are all kept very clean.
We enjoyed a really nice breakfast at the cafe.
Lovely walk from the campsite to the valley of the rocks, nice cove to swim in but best to take water shoes with you. The walk continues to Lynton & very nice fish & chips at the esplanade.

Disliked Nothing

Liked The incredible views, how quiet it was mid season since plenty of room, the relaxed friendly atmosphere (staff and campers), how helpful the staff were, how well stocked the shop was and the beer was great too.

Disliked Toilet and shower block quite “rustic” which we personally found fine but worth noting if this matters to you.

Recommend to friends Visit again

A good site, fab views from some pitches, middle of nowhere.

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.
