  • Rural site three miles from Barnstaple
  • Easily accessible from main roads and by public transport
  • Near Exmoor National Park and surfing beaches of the north Devon coast
There's easy peasy access to and from Crossways Country Park in north Devon: it's simply reached from main roads and – although peacefully rural – is close to piles of Devon attractions and activities, as well as Barnstaple three miles away. Buses from the stop outside the park entrance run to South Molton and Barnstaple. A dog exercise area is at the park and footpaths and country lanes are close by for walks off site. Exmoor National Park is about 12 miles away for longer walks and other activities such as cycling, horse riding, climbing and fishing; it's also a short drive from here to the beaches and famed surfing spots of the north Devon coast. Facilities include a launderette, a washing-up area and washrooms with toilets and showers. The site's a 10-minute walk from the food and drink of the Jack Russell pub, known for its connection with the Rev John Russell, breeder of the first Jack Russell terrier.

 George L. 1 review

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Friendly, accomodating, direct and easy-going. Helped us choose a good spot on the site based on our needs and wants. Were able to put my disabled partner close to toilet block, which is important for us.

Bunnies lolloping around in the field late in the evening.

Don't know about WiFi because I had good phone signal, better than at the majority of sites I've stayed at.

Disliked Some road noise but not as bad as I've had at some sites and it wasn't a major issue and didn't wake me up once I was asleep.

Fields are not flat but I got my vehicle level enough with levelling blocks. Had to be slightly careful with positioning of table and chairs but everything was perfectly useable and I felt safe enough cooking on the table with gas so enough said really!

Liked friendly couple. Site was perfect for us. All the facilities we needed and the field is kept very tidy. In the countryside but only 3 miles out of Barnstaple. A vine yard is opposite.
Reasonable price.
Would we stay there again - Yes yes

Hidden gem close to the sea and the moors.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The site is well kept, flat and attractively landscaped with lovely views into the hills. The facilities were plentiful and clean. What makes this place are the personable staff. Their house is part of the land and they are attentive, communicative and convivial. For reasons we could not understand given the location and natural beauty this site was quiet. If that’s your bag, grab it while you can.

Disliked There wasn’t anything to dislike.

A good site if you wanted to just sit and relax
