  • Eateries and bars in Braunton, five minutes' drive; dog walks on site
If you’re heading to North Devon for surfing, cycling and long walks with your four-legged friend, you’ve hit bullseye. Lobb Fields Caravan and Camping Park, a family-oriented site a five-minute drive from Braunton village, has an atmosphere of relaxation and togetherness that includes a welcome for visiting dogs. The site is on the outskirts of the peaceful North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so it’s surrounded by some of the region’s most sublime landscapes. Saunton Sands, a surfing and swimming beach with sandy dunes, is a 40-minute walk away (or a five-minute drive). There’s a surfing academy close by (five minutes’ drive) for those who’d like to take their surfing skills to the next level. Just head to the big blue bus overlooking Croyde beach to kickstart your sessions; it doesn’t matter what age you are or howinexperienced you are. Paddleboarding taster sessions, courses and half- or full-day tours are also on their schedule. The site’s owners believe that a holiday should include all the family, so canines are welcome year-round, and there’s a dog walk on site to make sure that they get timely walkies. Foodies, never fear, there are plenty of tasty treats to tuck into around here. Nearby Braunton village is packed with characterful independent restaurants, shops, delis, bars and cafés (plus the Museum of British Surfing, if you fancy it). A few foodie spots recommended by the site include a café with specialty coffee and doughnuts (15 minutes’ walk), a rum bar (20 minutes) and a fish and chip shop (20 minutes) that serves renowned crisped cod in batter (with mushy peas, naturally). There’s also an independent shop selling cool handcrafted jewellery.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lobb Fields is a very clean site with plenty of space around the pitches. There is a dog walking area to give the pets a bit of freedom and to keep the site free from poo. We had quite a bit of rain for a couple of days but there was no mud and the water drained away quickly. There is an onsite kiosk for an extremely nice breakfast at reasonable prices.

Disliked: There wasn't anything I really disliked about the site.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The staff were really helpful, the facilities were clean. The food trucks were a very welcome surprise. It’s close to the beach car park. The play ground is small but good quality.

Disliked: The only thing I would change would be to have recycling bins at every bin point.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Really friendly and helpful staff Play area was great for the children Other campers a great bunch Showers hot Toilet block clean Visible presence by staff Easy to add an extra car and extend our stay last minute 5 min drive from Saunton sands beach Enjoyed the Lobb shack and pizza trailer

Disliked: We were pitched near the play area and a football did hit our tent with our child asleep in it a couple of times mid evening, knocking our lantern down from the “ceiling” and into her travel cot (but not her luckily!). it wasn’t on purpose and the teenagers were apologetic when we asked them to be more careful but something to be mindful of if you have young children who go to bed earlier and you are camped at the nearest pitches to the play area and grass.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Well worth a stay, you won’t be disappointed. We didn’t want to leave so we didn’t, managed to stay longer than we booked, 11 nights in total. Perfectly positioned within each reach of so many amazing places to see walk and cycle . Our stay included a bank holiday weekend which wasn’t a problem as all of the amenities were easily able to cope especially the hot showers. Great sized pitches with large areas of grass between the rows. Very well thought out site and helpful and enthusiastic staff.

Local attractions

The Tarka Trail (20 minutes’ walk) is a 180-mile route inspired by the travels of the famed literary otter. Walk along more than 30 miles of disused railway tracks between Braunton and Meeth, or head to Barnstaple (15 minutes’ drive), where you can hire a bike for faster progress through salt marshes, woodland and riverside meadows. The coastal town of Ilfracombe (20 minutes) is known for four Victorian tunnels leading to sheltered beaches, rugged coves and rockpools. If you’re after a wide expanse of sand, Woolacombe (20 minutes) might be more up your street. Lifeguarded and dog-friendly, this is a popular spot for windsurfing and bodyboarding. There are big cats, wolves and lifesize dinosaur models at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (half an hour). If you're after more approachable beasties, at the BIG Sheep (half an hour), kids can bottle-feed lambs and meet pygmy goats, rabbits and puppies.
