  • Peaceful site near Combe Martin, with views over the coast
  • A 15-minute drive from Ilfracombe and Exmoor Zoo
  • On the edge of Exmoor National Park and a mile from the coast path
What an enviable Exmoor location this is for a Devon camping holiday: Silver View Camping is just on the edge of the national park and around five minutes’ drive from the beach at Combe Martin. Pitches, covering two fields, have fine views over the valley and out to sea; on a clear day you’ll get glimpses of Lundy island (which you can also visit on boat trips from Ilfracombe, 15 minutes’ drive away). The setup is all very eco-friendly and relaxed: think of it as being a bit like wild camping but with the added luxury of access to drinking water, compost and flushing toilets, showers and a rubbish/recycling point. Campfires are generally allowed too for that true outdoor evening experience – the team here just ask that you consult with them first if planning a campfire or firepit, and pay attention to safety (raising your firepit off the ground and making sure all the flames are fully extinguished before you leave it). Please buy all of your wood on site. This is a handily located site for all sorts of days out – it’s about a mile from here to the South West Coast Path, and only a tiny bit further to kayak and paddleboard hire at Combe Martin beach (truly the way to explore, say the owners – and you might meet seals or dolphins along the way). There are plenty more walks and activities to be had around Exmoor National Park too, and plenty of ways to keep the kids amused with trips to Exmoor Zoo and the Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park.

What customers say

Beautiful nature, tranquil vibes. Clean washrooms, charging ports, freezer available. Some sloped sites. Walk to town (uphill back!). Friendly, laid-back staff. Note: narrow access for big rigs, cash for fire wood.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked It was are very first time staying at the camp site. The facility were very good and the toilets and shower rooms where very clean and tidy. The washing up stations where very good .There where bins to put all your rubbish in and recycling everything else. There was even a cosey room with sofa and lots of electricity sockets to charge up phones and I have hearing aids and the charging points really helped there was even a freezer to freeze your ice packs.

Disliked No

Local attractions

To the beach? It’s a fine suggestion, as some of north Devon’s top spots are close by. The peaceful stretch of shingle and sand at Combe Martin is your closest option (five minutes’ drive) and a lovely sheltered spot for swimming or paddleboarding. A little further along the coast, stop in at Ilfracombe (15 minutes) for the unusual Tunnels beaches accessed via hand-carved tunnels, or to board boat trips for a sea safari or an outing to Lundy island. There’s an aquarium here too for a handy damp-day activity. Woolacombe (25 minutes) is another good choice for a beach trip, especially if you’re into your surfing. Away from the coast there are plenty of other options for family days out, including Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (five minutes) and Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes) for animal encounters and Watermouth Castle (10 minutes) for rides and kid-friendly attractions. You may also like to see all the old vehicles at Arlington Court & National Trust Carriage Museum, take a ride on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (both 15 minutes) or pedal bikes along the traffic-free Tarka Trail from Barnstaple (25 minutes).
