Around the site

  • Peaceful coastal site in Exmoor National Park with sea views
  • Combe Martin and Ilfracombe within a 10-minute drive
  • Private footpath to pub, coast path and Watermouth Castle
If you like a sea view, find it handy to be able to get out and about without driving and are rather partial to a freshly baked pastry, you should be pretty pleased with the offerings at Little Meadow Caravan and Camping Site. This small and quiet site is up on the north Devon coast within Exmoor National Park, and one of its top selling points is the fact that it’s got gorgeous sweeping views over the Bristol Channel in one direction and Exmoor’s Hangman Hills in the other. The grounds have been cleverly terraced to make the most of that coastal outlook, and the views have been boosted further with flower-filled borders all around. Getting out to explore the area is easily done here – the site is accessed from the A399 for drivers and there’s also a handy bus stop a couple of minutes’ walk away for jaunts to places like Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. Meanwhile, a private 500-metre footpath leads from the site to Watermouth Castle, where crossing the road takes you on to the South West Coast Path. Back on site, you’ll be staying in a peaceful spot with abundant wildlife – keep your eyes peeling for badgers, rabbits, buzzards and sea birds, as well as porpoises out at sea. There’s a good list of useful facilities too, including a play area, a dog park, a laundry room and a local information point as well as men’s and women’s bathroom facilities. And those pastries? Freshly baked croissants and baguettes are available on site every morning, and the shop stocks locally sourced jams, meats and drinks. Barbecues are permitted, and there’s a pub half a mile away.

What customers say

This peaceful campsite boasts stunning ocean views and ample spots, with many guests loving the friendly, helpful staff. Facilities are usually clean, though some noted inconsistent shower temps. Great for coastal strolls and local sights. WiFi can be spotty. Some found access tricky.

Powered grass campsite

Liked The view was amazing, the pitch was generous, and the team friendly and helpful. The secret pathway down to the harbour was great for picking up the local bus into Ilfracombe. Generous dog walking area. Good communication about getting into site.

Disliked Poor Wi-Fi and no phone signal, so you really are getting away from it all. The pathway to the toilet and shop was loose shingle and pretty steep. Showers whilst hot had a weak flow.

Excellent quiet site with everything you need.

Liked We've stayed at many campsites and this was the best so far. Perfect for families who want the busy days and quiet nights. Beautiful view. Very well thought out from the size and spacing of pitches to the bags on the back of the shower doors. Really enjoyed staying and came home very relaxed. The dog field makes life so much easier and my son was able to order his crossiant every day making him happy.

Disliked Nothing. It was perfect

Liked The views are incredible, there's plenty to do in the surrounding areas and the campsite has a very nice set up, with a shop for almost everything you need while camping. The large pitches are massive, you could've easily gotten 2 x 6 man tents on 1 pitch.

Disliked The toilets were very clean and rustic fell but could do with some music for a bit of privacy. Also the shower pressure wasn't great but enough to have a good wash.

Liked The views are fantastic. Site is lovely and peaceful. Toilet block is clean and great.
Ignore all the negative reviews.. this site is fantastic. Showers are what you expect from a site on top of a hill. You get hot water, which is better than most !
Pub just up the road ( walkable ) and SW costal part literally across the road.

Route directions

Satnav is not the most reliable way to find this site; please use these instructions instead. The entrance is best approached from the Ilfracombe direction due to a sharp turn into the driveway when approaching from Combe Martin, which can be very difficult for anyone in a large campervan or motorhome or towing a caravan or trailer. If you arrive from Combe Martin you can turn around in the Hele Bay Garage which is a mile along the road. The driveway signed Lydford Farm is NOT the entrance to the campsite. If you are towing a caravan please let the site know in advance if you are driving a four-wheel drive car. Little Meadow is on the 301 bus route.

Local attractions

With water gardens, vintage arcade games, a big river ride and lots of other fun activities – plus the castle itself, of course – Watermouth Castle has plenty to offer for all sorts of tastes. And as it’s only a 15-minute walk from the site you should certainly drop in there at some point. After that, maybe the rockpools of Combe Martin beach (five minutes’ drive), a wild time at Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (10 minutes) or an outing to Ilfracombe (10 minutes) for the Tunnels beaches and Lundy boat trips? Woolacombe (25 minutes) is another popular beach – especially for surfers – and there are excellent coast walks around Valley of Rocks (35 minutes). Family days out might take you to Exmoor Zoo (20 minutes) or The Big Sheep (45 minutes); more grownup options nearby include Marwood Hill Gardens (20 minutes), National Trust - Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum (25 minutes) and the gorgeous RHS Garden Rosemoor (55 minutes).
