- Laidback dog-friendly north Devon site with sea views from pitches
- In Exmoor National Park and on the South West Coast Path
- Horse riding and 'goat café' on site, plus bar with home-made cider
Picturesque campsite complete with panoramic sea views, café, bar, farm shop, horse riding and cider orchard. Oh, and plenty of goats...
Situated on 160 acres within the heart of Exmoor National Park, campers are encouraged to take advantage of our relaxed, rule-limited approach, allowing you to pitch wherever you fancy. Sheltered corners and wide open spaces are aplenty, suiting everyone from couples to large groups. Sweeping sea views greet every patch of our working farm, while CAMPFIRES and DOGS are actively encouraged.
If the views bring you, it's the inclusive facilities that'll keep you. Two blocks contain 10 toilets, 7 unlimited hot showers (a MUST try!), laundry facilities, washing sinks, fridge/freezer & a microwave. There are also freshwater standpipes in each field and a chemical disposal point.
However, sometimes a hot shower doesn't hack it. That's where our converted stone Barn Café comes in - complete with Wi-Fi & charging points. Open all day every day, 'The Barn' provides an oasis away from the elements, where you can enjoy everything from breakfast in the beer garden to a three-course dinner by the woodburner. If DIY campfire cooking is more your style, we also have a fully-stocked farm shop onsite providing all the essentials and much more too!
Drinks? There's only one choice... a pint o' Caffyns cider. Homegrown in our 3000-tree strong orchard, located next to the campfields, our apples go from picking to pinting without leaving the farm. From sweet to scrumpy varieties there is no better way to try this land's fabled beverage than in our cider bar.
For the adrenaline junkies, onsite horse riding allows you to sample Exmoor's scenery from the saddle. Catering to all experience levels, from beginner to advanced, our range of rides (1hr-3hrs) gives everyone the chance to explore the local area from a different perspective. A 10% discount is given to those staying with us!
Wandering through Caffyns' acreage will introduce you to some of the other friendly farmyard 'locals'. From having a gossip over lunch in the goat cafe (?!) to sharing llama jokes with the alpacas, there's more than enough farmyard natter to keep you occupied. Chickens, turkeys & sheep are all dotted throughout the farm on the way down to the South West Coast Path right on our farm's perimeter.
The nearest beach is an easy 20 minute walk away (Lee Bay) while Woody Bay, the Valley of the Rocks, Heddon's Mouth and many other coves are all within a short walking distance. Lynton & Lynmouth is the nearest town, just a 5 minute drive away.
