  • Wild site two miles from Croyde beach and the South West Coast Path
  • A 15-minute drive from Woolacombe beach and Saunton Sands
  • Communal firepit and flower farm on site; pubs and shop nearby
A day in the surf or strolling along the South West Coast Path, before gathering around the communal firepit – sounds good? If so, you’d best book in at Crowborough Farm, a peaceful wild camping site within 15 minutes’ drive of several Devon beaches including Woolacombe beach and Saunton Sands. Croyde (five minutes’ drive) is your nearest beach – and a great place to hit the waves, whether you’re an experienced surfer or just taking your first steps with one of the local surf schools. You can also join the South West Coast Path in the village for walks towards Baggy Point (a place that's also popular with climbers). The two hay meadows are part of an organic farm and have views of the countryside and sea, as well as excellent sunsets and stargazing when the conditions are at their best. You're free to pick your own spot in the meadows; there's lots of space for everyone. It’s a proper back-to-basics set-up, with simple facilities including bespoke mobile compost toilets. There’s also a shower hut with hot water and a washing-up area. For cosy evenings, head to the wooden benches around the firepit; you’ll need to bring your own firewood if you fancy starting a blaze, or arrange some with the owners. The farm also has a sustainable (and colourful) flower farm that you’re welcome to wander around. The local village, Georgeham, is under five minutes’ walk from the farm. It’s got a village shop with produce such as fresh bread, local eggs, vegetables and dairy, and a post office. There are two pubs in the village that serve excellent food and often host live bands in the evenings.

What customers say

A top spot for wild camping. Guests love the peace, nature, and views. Solar showers & compost loos are a hit. Great base for villages, pubs, shops & beaches. Some payment issues & uneven pitches. May '26 feedback: need more loos, showers & washing-up spots.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The atmosphere and views were beautiful and it was very spacious which is good and suitable for camping.

Disliked Mainly having rubbish bins, we travelled for 5 hours and its not nice having to travel with 5 bags of rubbish in the back. The toilets were a little uncomfortable because the wind travels to the top while sitting.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked If you are after arcades, music and close neighbours then keep scrolling!

If you want a peaceful, quiet campsite with great views and showers which you can actually control (I hate showers with set temperatures as they are always too hot) then this is the campsite for you.

Local attractions

You’ll want to start with the beaches of course – perhaps heading into Croyde itself (five minutes’ drive) or setting off to places like Putsborough (10 minutes) or Saunton Sands (15 minutes). Ilfracombe (15 minutes) is another local favourite, with beaches accessed via tunnels carved in the rock; you can also board boat trips to Lundy Island from here. A little further along the coast, you’ll get to Exmoor National Park, where you may like to take a walk around the Valley of Rocks (45 minutes), ride the cliff railway in Lynmouth (45 minutes) or visit National Trust - Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum (half an hour). Watermouth Castle (25 minutes) and Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (half an hour) are excellent options if you’ve got kids to entertain. This area has lots of options for walks taking in either coast or countryside; for bike rides, a great choice is the traffic-free Tarka Trail from Barnstaple (25 minutes), where you can hire bikes for all ages.
