  • Countryside park on 500 acres, 15 minutes' drive from Woolacombe
  • Woodland walks, nature trails, pool and riding centre on site
  • Two on-site bars and a takeaway; play park and miniature golf
Life’s little stresses getting you down? Want to stow yourself away for a countryside break where everything is close to your pitch? Come along to Combe Martin’s Stowford Farm Meadows in north Devon for a bit of de-stressing in a rural setting: the park is a mile from the main road down its own private drive and is a well-placed base from which to explore the best of Devon. Set among 500 acres of Devon woodland and meadows, Stowford Farm Meadows falls into the category of ‘very large’ sites – but fear not if your tastes tend towards the more solitary, as the park is divided into five separate fields and feels like several small sites rolled into one. The overall size means there are heaps of facilities and activities for you to try your hand at, from cantering around on horseback with the help of the on-site riding centre, to driving the kids crazy with your swish moves at the crazy golf. Looking for something a bit quieter? There are marked woodland walks into the wildlife-rich Bittadon valley, with nature trails starting and finishing on site. A heated indoor pool is available for a small extra charge; some days, there are also activities here like the aqua inflatable run and 'aqua paddlers' sessions for kids (both at an additional charge). For putting feet up or letting hair down, the site has two bars (with evening entertainment in peak season) and an on-site takeaway. For supplies, Stowford Farm Meadows has a licensed, well-stocked shop for your caravan and camping accessories. And finally? Even the dog will de-stress here, with a friendly welcome and a spacious dog-walking area on site…

What customers say

This large, well-kept campground has spacious spots & lots of family fun: pool, playgrounds & entertainment. Facilities, especially washrooms, are usually clean but some guests found them dated. Staff are often friendly & helpful. Some found extras pricey or had occasional WiFi issues. Praised for being dog-friendly & rural, with easy access to local sights.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Toilets and showers were plentiful, very clean and well maintained. The site has plenty of activities especially for children, including an indoor swimming pool.

Disliked Our pitch was too inclined; high levelling ramps were a necessity.
The site was central for many places, but there was no bus stops nearby.
The crazy golf was very run down, and in need of repair; definitely not worth the money being charged to play.
The club house was very dated and in need of refurbishment.
There should be tables and benches in view of the park, so that children can be monitored whilst playing.
The 'farm shop' needs to be properly stocked with essentials and local produce; very poorly stocked whilst we were there.
There should be more lights around the site; far too dark in areas when walking back to our pitch at night.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Good sized pitch

Disliked The bikes with 4 seats were just left around unlocked so me and my friends went on them assuming we were allowed to. A man in a van pulled up on us gave us the worst attitude ever like we were children telling us off for being on them. I apologised and said if i knew we had to pay i would not of taken them. He then continued to follow us in his van for us to put them back. He got very close behind us slightly revving as if to say hurry up. I don’t appreciate being told off like a toddler after I explained it was a genuine mistake

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Location and cleanliness of toilet blocks

Disliked This running of this site is disorganised chaos. Having failed to respond to any of our groups emails regarding being sited together we requested this on arrival. 3 times one of our group was sent to a pitch where a tent was already erected. Not a great start!! Every time you had to go into reception there was a big queue and at times being manned by disinterested staff. Despite all the signage saying book the carts in reception I queued only to be then sent somewhere else. There was no stock of tent tags or arcade cards available. It’s peak summer hols - surely someone realised it would be a busy time. The shop looked like it had been robbed. When I asked for milk I was simply told that two deliveries that week had not turned up - I wouldn’t be surprised if they simply had not been ordered. Is it too difficult to stock basic camping supplies and not just be for sweets and toys. We didn’t venture into the pool as despite being advertised as no booking required, you not only needed to book but to queue again for wristbands in reception. No idea how good the Wi-Fi is because it was extortionately priced. Oh and what is the point of a site speed limit when the staff ignore it - staff on electric bikes using site as a personal race course.

Liked Campsite was clean and staff were friendly!

Disliked We tried to call before arrival to double check what time check in closes and never got through to a person.
We went to book the pool and were told it was closed. Went to hire some bikes it was closed. Went to look at maybe riding the horses and it was closed. Would have thought with it being a Saturday and very busy things would be open!

We also had some neighbours who decided to be unfair and take up half our pitch and allow their kids to play bat and ball and football next to our car! Which ended up our car being hit multiple times!

Local attractions

The highlights of north Devon are a pebble throw away, with Combe Martin on the doorstep and the famed harbour and seafront of Ilfracombe a few miles away (if you forget your wetsuit, the clever sorts at Stowford sell them in the on-site shop). Take little monsters to the animatronic dinosaurs, train ride and 250 species of wildlife at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park where they can help feed the lions or see the birds of prey, or along to Exmoor Zoo for yet more species to see. Not thrilling enough? Let them see stars at the Milky Way Adventure Park with the tallest rollercoaster in Devon, or whirl about the rides and play areas of The Big Sheep.
