What customers say

Spacious sites, clean amenities, and great views. Friendly staff are a highlight, with a unique airfield appealing to families. Some dated facilities, but kept tidy. Peaceful, though some noise noted. Good location for attractions and walks.

Kelly A.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Just back from an amazing weekend stay at Brancombe, we travelled a few hours to get there we arrived early and asked if we could check in early we were told we could which was a great help to us, we were greeted at reception with a lovely welcome.
We chose a lovely pitch, plenty of space there were plenty of toilets situated around the site, lovely hot showers that were cleaned regularly. The dog paddock was huge a great space for our dog to run around. The pizza van was a great added extra, couldn’t have asked for anything more, would highly recommend!

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Owners were really lovely
Campsite was peaceful with great views
Amenities looked great but didn’t use them
Shop had lots of basics and camping items if you forgot anything plus toys for the kids
Location was great to get to the beaches nearby

Disliked Would’ve been ideal to be pre warned about the single track road which leads to the campsite. Was hairy at times!

Liked Absolutely amazing stay. Wonderful, helpful and friendly owners. Great place for children to stay as very child friendly. The games room is a great. Showers and toilets clean and tidy. And its lovely that you can watch the planes take off and land. Would definitely recommend and will be back for another stay.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Had a lovely long weekend stay here with the misses in our 6.7 meter motorhome . The owners are lovely and very welcoming.
The site is clean tidy / quiet and very pretty and situated in a nice central area to seaton / Lyme Regis / and sidmouth. Great value for money we thought . Had a little bar / stone baked pizza and a solo singer turned up Saturday night was great . We would highly recommend

Disliked Had a slight issue with let’s say some enthusiastic campers on the Friday night . The owners were fantastic sorted it all out and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy . NO COMPLAINTS HERE.

Liked The location was great.
Tracey and Chris were very friendly and helpful. The pizza, pop-up bar and live music on Saturday was brilliant.
The toilets and showers were very clean.
The aeroplanes were an added bonus.

Liked Lovely stay. Turned up to find a pop up bar and singer was on that evening along with a Wood burner pizza trailer - Tracey was extremely friendly on arrival, showing us all the facilities, which were all clean and perfectly placed.
Added bonus of seeing a plane take off.

Powered grass campsite

Liked This place is a hidden gem. Its got everything you can need. The dog enclosure is a good size so dog could have a good run.
Particularly friendly place, good atmosphere. Tracey & Chris were so helpful. The plot was fantastic you didnt feel on top of others.

Disliked The showers need revamping but incredibly clean.We appreciate that this is currently out of Chris & Tracey hands.

Local attractions

Stay at Branscombe at the beginning of August to frolic at the world-famous Sidmouth Folk Week, or mosey along to this part of Devon at any time of year to ramble and rockpool on Branscombe Mouth beach, be tempted by tasty treats in the thatched roof restaurant or take a boat out to land some mackerel and pollock for supper. Branscombe village has the Old Forge, the Old Bakery and the Norman St. Winifred Church to see, while the regency town of Sidmouth five miles to the west has a sauna, cinema, indoor pool, restaurants and gift shops as well as beaches for splashing and sunbathing. The fishing village of Beer is nearby: this sheltered beach is the spot for catching the sun’s rays, and if you don’t want to angle yourself from a boat to cast off, you can buy some fresh fish on the beach before getting on your mining helmet to explore the Beer Quarry Caves or climbing the hill (sans helmet) to the model railway exhibition and gardens at Pecorama. Cavers and trainspotters can also try the Kents Cavern Underground Caves and the South Devon Railway, both at Torquay. Devon day trips include browsing for lace in the market town of Honiton, taking a tram from Seaton along the River Axe for birdwatching at the estuary, fossil-hunting at Lyme Regis, history hunting at Exeter Cathedral and wandering the National Trust walks over Exmoor and Dartmoor. For the small fliers, Crealy Adventure Park, Paignton Zoo and Plymouth’s National Marine Aquarium should have them soaring.
