  • Quiet family-friendly site on a dairy farm with views over to Dartmoor
  • Just over a five-minute drive to Woolacombe beach and village
  • Less than 15 minutes from Ilfracombe Aquarium and surfing at Croyde
It might be the nifty location that draws you to Barn Park Campsite, a traditional park on a working farm just over five minutes’ drive from Woolacombe beach in Devon, but it’s the peaceful atmosphere and stunning views towards Dartmoor that will make sure you don’t want to leave… Set up as a relaxing space for families and couples, this site also welcomes dogs (and their responsible owners) for serene stays in an area where activities range from surfing, swimming and rockpooling on Devon’s northern beaches to golf, horse riding, walking and cycling in the leafy countryside. Settling in on a chair facing out towards the far-reaching views over fields of dairy cows is also a popular pastime at this pretty park... Busy afternoons touring complete, ask for a block to place your campfire on and get the flames going – blazes are permitted at this park as long as they’re not lit right on the grass – and warm yourself up enough to crack open a few cans of beer bought from Woolacombe’s small supermarket a five-minute drive (or 40-minute walk) away. The village also has restaurants, pubs, a pasty shop and a couple of fish and chip takeaways if you fancy a meal or a light bite. If you’re flexing your culinary skills at the site, Barn Park has basic but clean facilities including a washing-up sink and a drinking water tap. It’s also got a toilet block with women and men’s loos plus washbasins with hot water and a shower room.

What customers say

Barn Park: quiet, basic camping, spacious sites, great views (often with cows!). Easy to find, good value, clean loos & showers. A few noted basic facilities, but most found them fine for a peaceful, no-frills break. Close to Woolacombe.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Really enjoyed staying at this site. We came a couple of years ago and it was during a storm but stayed anyway and liked the chilled atmosphere and proximity to woolacombe whilst being a really good price. Facilities are just right, nice to have an actual shower and cubicle considering how small and basic the site is. Will definitely return to this one

Recommend to friends Visit again

A lovely site, we would recommend and use again if in the area.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Very basic and quiet, just what we like. Large plots and great views. Excellent boards indicating which plot is whose. No pub in easy walking distance but an excellent one ( with good food and service) only 5 minutes away in the car.

Disliked Only one shower but we didn’t have to wait at all and plenty of hooks inside to hang clothes etc

Local attractions

The award-winning Woolacombe beach with its three miles’ worth of golden sands and lifeguards on duty is the main local attraction when staying at this park but it’s not the only scenic shoreline within easy access... As you face the sea, Barricane beach is to the right of Woolacombe – wander over here to see the seashells washed up on the shoreline from the Caribbean. A hut sells ice creams, tea, coffee, cakes and light lunches to munch on and Sri Lankan curries are served here some evenings. Keep walking on for quieter Combesgate and Grunta beaches (an hour on foot from the site altogether) or get in the car and drive to Croyde for surfing and Rockham Bay for seal spotting, both around 10 minutes away. Kids had enough of the beach but want to check out some animals? The Ilfracombe Aquarium and Exmoor Zoo are less than 20 minutes and a half an hour drive respectively. If you’re visiting midweek, falconry and sheepdog displays are organised at a farm five minutes away from the site.
