  • Small, multi-award-winning and peaceful site in a secluded valley
  • Putsborough beach and Croyde village centre both 15 minutes' walk
  • Immaculate amenities; campfires allowed; pubs within walking distance
If you haven't been to the beach at Woolacombe yet… why ever not? These stunning and award-winning sands have been hailed as the best in all of Britain and among the top in Europe (sometimes even on the entire planet): you'll see why the second you get there… Glimpses of this spectacular stretch of sand can be had from Combas Farm, a family-run site in a secluded valley within sauntering distance of Croyde village. Guests have been returning here for years for the spectacular and handy north Devon setting, as well the warm vibe that owners Gwen and Sally and their team have created: the words 'friendly' and 'helpful' crop up time and again in guests' reviews. Most folk also mightily appreciate the spotlessly kept and modern amenities on the farm too, set in a converted barn and including powerful hot showers, immaculate toilets, a washing-up area and sockets for gadget charging. Camping is in four fields – one with those stunning views over Woolacombe Bay and the others closer to the swish facilities. A half-mile trot along a farm track leads to the shops and pubs of Croyde village; the site is also about a 15-minute stroll from Putsborough beach. Firepits and barbecues are allowed: pick up all you could need for either of these in Braunton, 15 minutes' drive away. Several pubs and restaurants are also within walking distance.

David B.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Pretty much everything!

The bathrooms were spotless, even though the site was busy.

We parked up and walked everywhere we needed to get to - Putsborough Beach and Croyde are both an easy walk away.

A lovely walk around the headland and a stop off in Croyde Bay is a must - also not too strenuous.

Jane Y.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked One of the best campsites I’ve stayed on . Went with a friend and our dogs and we was given such a spacious area it was perfect for the dogs.
The showers and toilets were always clean . They even have a hair dryer there you can use . There are a number of plug sockets so can charge phones or power packs up etc. But best of all is they have fridge freezers so if like me your dog is raw fed you can store the food in the freezer . And keep your wine chilled in the fridge ! It’s in walking distance to pubs and the beach. It’s just the perfect spot on a lovely farm

Anthony C.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked This was my first time camping alone in a tent, and it was a fantastic place to chose. The location was great. Only a small walk into town and a great location for hiking. With the lady introducing me to the place telling me of the baggy point walk. Just down the road from the farm. The toilet was clean and plenty. And having access to a fridge was great during the heatwave

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Really glad you enjoyed your walk around Baggy, hopefully you can visit us again one day.

Luke T.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything! Pitches are very spacious, clean and level. The owners are very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of toilets and showers which are all modern and kept very clean. There are lots of fridges and freezers for you to use, a kettle, a microwave and lots of sockets to charge devices. The location is superb, its only a 10 minute walk to putsborough beach and croyde beach.

Local attractions

The nearest beach is Putsborough Sands, at one end of Woolacombe Bay. It's generally a quieter spot than the rest of Woolacombe beach and is just one of the north Devon surfing destinations near the farm. Surf's also up at Saunton Sands, 20 minutes' drive from the farm, and at Croyde and Westward Ho! as well as the main Devon surf spots of Woolacombe and Ilfracombe. The spectacular South West Coast Path is also a must if you're anywhere around the shoreline of England's south west: join it at Croyde for the five-mile stretch to Woolacombe past the National Trust's fably-named Baggy Point, or hike a hefty 15 miles to go further south on the route from Woolacombe to Braunton. Another scenic option for walking – and cycling – is the Tarka Trail, the looping paths following the route of Henry Williamson's fictional otter. This one's accessible from Woolacombe too, but the most popular part is probably the car-free 31 miles between Meeth and Braunton: drop into the Museum of British Surfing at Braunton for the story of south-west surf if you have energy afterwards. More walks? Exmoor National Park is within 40 minutes' drive.
