  • Laidback dog-friendly north Devon site with sea views from pitches
  • In Exmoor National Park and on the South West Coast Path
  • Horse riding and 'goat café' on site, plus bar with home-made cider
You’re off to the north Devon coast and Exmoor National Park, so presumably you’re hoping for beaches, coast walks, outdoor activities… and maybe a pint of local cider to round off the day? Well, you’ll get all of those at Caffyns Farm, a 160-acre property 10 minutes’ drive from Lynton and Lynmouth – oh, and you’ll get a ‘goat café’ too… This attractive location has sea views from its pitches, giving you a hint that you’re not far from the coast here. In fact, it’s an easy 20-minute walk to the nearest beach, Lee Bay, and as the South West Coast Path runs along the site perimeter, you’ll also be able to walk to places like Woody Bay, Valley of Rocks and Heddon’s Mouth. So that’s a winning location, but there’s more to come – because this is a friendly and laidback place where you can choose your own pitch, get your barbecue or campfire going and generally chill out. You’re welcome to take a wander around the farm to meet the friendly animals (sheep, alpacas and chickens among them) and maybe sign up for horse riding activities – they cater for all levels from beginners to advanced riders. After a walk through the orchard there’s only one thing for it – a pint of the farm’s own cider, of course. You can sample this alongside other drinks in the site’s bar, and also pick up snacks and barbecue supplies in the farm shop. Meanwhile, meals from breakfasts to three-course dinners are available in the barn café. Essential facilities on site include freshwater standpipes, a chemical disposal point, a launderette, two bathroom blocks and a kitchen with fridge/freezer and microwave.

What customers say

A farm site loved for its views, animals & helpful staff. Spacious pitches, a good shop & cafe. Walks nearby. Facilities good, though can need attention when busy. Steep walk from the valley & camper noise mentioned. Relaxed & beautiful.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Absolutely beautiful and well-equipped campsite. Very relaxed owners, pitch where you like, facilities to build your own campfire, plenty of water points. The shop, bar and restaurant make this a super convenient spot if you haven't got the whole set up to cook for yourself. The animals are a delight! Lovely walk down to the nearest beach (though quite the slog back up!). We will be back.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked The views are great and the staff are helpful and friendly. We loved the Barn Cafe, the food is good and there's a great atmosphere. Its a brilliant place for families, the goats and all the other animals are great for kids. Its clearly a working farm with a diverse range of produce.

Disliked The showers are perfectly functional and do the job but could use some updating.

From the manager: Hello Sarah,
Many thanks for the review. We have taken onboard your comments regarding the shower/toilet block and plan to update these this winter.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Farm animals, you can feed goats £1 for a small cup of feed.

Disliked We stayed on Saturday night in August, I believe that's the reason why it was so busy and not comfortable stay. We found space for the tent far away from the main area for our tent and WC was about 5-7 min walking. There is only one block for WC and showers so it's very busy and I think it's not normal to accept so many visitors with a lack of facilities on site. The price we paid was twice higher and much worse quality to compare with other camping we stayed a night before. Even more, the host expects people to take their garbage home: it was a board asking for this near the bins. So mainly we paid for the spot in the grass which is overpriced in my opinion. There's a shop on site, but prices in the shop are high. Local sider cost £4.50 per small bottle in the bar.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,
Thank you for the review. We don't no insist that campers take rubbish home we only advise this to keep our site as litter free as possible. In addition, while I can't speak for your judgement on other prices in the shop/cafe bottles of our cider retail at £3.50.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Campsite had everything you could need and more. The shop was well stocked, the cafe/bar was lovely. The pitches were ample, with plenty of smaller areas to make you feel cosy but not crowded. The showers/facilities were great. AND THE WALKS ARE INCREDIBLE. 100% recommend and i will be coming back.

Local attractions

You’ll be well placed for lots of Exmoor’s top spots when you stay here, including the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (10 minutes’ drive), the gorge and waterfalls of National Trust - Watersmeet (15 minutes) and the ever-popular Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes). A little further afield, you may like to make your way across the old clapper bridge at Tarr Steps (45 minutes) or conquer Exmoor’s highest point at the 519-metre Dunkery Beacon (40 minutes). If you’re here on a family holiday, you may like to plan outings to places like Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (20 minutes) or Watermouth Castle (half an hour), which has crazy golf, a toboggan run and rides and activities galore in its 17 acres of gardens. And of course there’s always the option of a day at the beach. Family favourites nearby include Woolacombe (35 minutes) and Minehead (40 minutes), along with Ilfracombe (half an hour), which is also the launching point for boat trips to Lundy island.
