Touring pitch

  • Countryside park on 500 acres, 15 minutes' drive from Woolacombe
  • Woodland walks, nature trails, pool and riding centre on site
  • Five camping fields and five spacious amenities blocks
Life’s little stresses getting you down? Want to stow yourself away for a countryside break where everything is close to your pitch? Come along to Combe Martin’s Stowford Farm Meadows in north Devon for a bit of de-stressing in a rural setting: the park is a mile from the main road down its own private drive and is a well-placed base from which to explore the best of Devon. Set among 500 acres of Devon woodland and meadows, Stowford Farm Meadows falls into the category of ‘very large’ sites – but fear not if your tastes tend towards the more solitary, as the park is divided into five separate camping and caravan fields and feels like several small sites rolled into one. The overall size means there are heaps of facilities and activities for you to try your hand at, from cantering around on horseback with the help of the on-site riding centre, to driving the kids crazy with your swish moves at the crazy golf. Looking for something a bit quieter? There are marked woodland walks into the wildlife-rich Bittadon valley, with nature trails starting and finishing on site. A heated indoor pool is available for a small extra charge. For putting feet up or letting hair down, the site has two bars (with evening entertainment in peak season) and an on-site takeaway. For supplies, Stowford Farm Meadows has a licensed well-stocked shop and for your caravan and camping accessories. And finally? Even the dog will de-stress here, with a friendly welcome and a spacious dog-walking area on site…

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Firstly, the site is really pleasant, peaceful and well kept. Pitches are quite large and certainly there are plenty of facilities close by (toilets, showers, fresh water etc.)
The shop was very well stocked with essentials and many non essential items. Staff are also very friendly and helpful, including the park wardens.
The swimming pool, which was used by my partner was a very positive point.

Disliked: As our stay was outside of the peak season (early June) we were disappointed to find that the on site takeaway is only open at weekends and the entertainments bar was also closed for most of our time there. There is a bar and restaurant available until 9pm but if you wanted food otherwise, you have to travel 5 miles to nearby Combe Martin.
The shower cubicles are quite small with very little space to be able to wash and dry/ dress easily, although they were always exceptionally clean.
There did seem to be a general lack of details and signs, with notices on the door to the swimming pool informing us to book at reception, only for them to send us back to the pool. This seemed to be a common theme across the site.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The site itself is beautifully maintained with lovely walks around it. The facilities would be perfect if they were open.

Disliked: We arrived for the bank holiday weekend hoping for a relaxing stay and NO COOKING. We were unprepared for a bar that wasn't serving food and a small shop that had very little actual food but lots of camping equipment. Also, no where to walk to for miles that served food. The sites chip shop was shut. The pool was shut.

Local attractions

The highlights of north Devon are a pebble throw away, with Combe Martin on the doorstep and the famed harbour and seafront of Ilfracombe a few miles away (if you forget your wetsuit, the clever sorts at Stowford sell them in the on-site shop). Take little monsters to the animatronic dinosaurs, train ride and 250 species of wildlife at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park where they can help feed the lions or see the birds of prey, or along to Exmoor Zoo for yet more specis to see. Not thrilling enough? Let them see stars at the Milky Way Adventure Park with the tallest rollercoaster in Devon, or whirl about the rides and play areas of The Big Sheep.
