  • Peaceful coastal site in Exmoor National Park with sea views
  • Combe Martin and Ilfracombe within a 10-minute drive
  • Private footpath to pub, coast path and Watermouth Castle
If you like a sea view, find it handy to be able to get out and about without driving and are rather partial to a freshly baked pastry, you should be pretty pleased with the offerings at Little Meadow Caravan and Camping Site. This small and quiet site is up on the north Devon coast within Exmoor National Park, and one of its top selling points is the fact that it’s got gorgeous sweeping views over the Bristol Channel in one direction and Exmoor’s Hangman Hills in the other. The grounds have been cleverly terraced to make the most of that coastal outlook, and the views have been boosted further with flower-filled borders all around. Getting out to explore the area is easily done here – the site is accessed from the A399 for drivers and there’s also a handy bus stop a couple of minutes’ walk away for jaunts to places like Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. Meanwhile, a private 500-metre footpath leads from the site to Watermouth Castle, where crossing the road takes you on to the South West Coast Path. Back on site, you’ll be staying in a peaceful spot with abundant wildlife – keep your eyes peeling for badgers, rabbits, buzzards and sea birds, as well as porpoises out at sea. There’s a good list of useful facilities too, including a play area, a dog park, a laundry room and a local information point as well as men’s and women’s bathroom facilities. And those pastries? Freshly baked croissants and baguettes are available on site every morning, and the shop stocks locally sourced jams, meats and drinks. Barbecues are permitted, and there’s a pub half a mile away.

Liked Definitely would return.
The friendly and helpful young man on reception made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. He even came to our pitch about 15 minutes after check-in to make sure everything was alright, which was a lovely touch.
We stayed on Pitch 32 and were very thankful for the amount of shade it provided during the heatwave. The sea view was fantastic, and we were even lucky enough to spot a pod of dolphins one afternoon.
The site is very well kept and maintained, with all facilities clean and tidy throughout our stay. The location of the pot-washing area is excellent too – enjoying the sea view while washing up certainly makes the job more pleasant!
The dog exercise area in the bottom field was also a great feature and much appreciated.
A wonderful stay overall, and we would definitely return.

Unpowered grass site

Liked This is an unbelievable beautiful location. I almost don't want to tell people about it so it remains down to earth and welcoming and not noisy busy and commercialised.

Disliked WiFi was a bit naff and I didn't havr coverage there....but in honesty it probably dis me good.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely words - we really appreciate it. We are a small uncommercial campsite offering peaceful camping.
The wifi is limited due to our rural location but glad that this added to the peace and tranquility of getting away from it all.

Great locations with great views!

Route directions

Satnav is not the most reliable way to find this site; please use these instructions instead. The entrance is best approached from the Ilfracombe direction due to a sharp turn into the driveway when approaching from Combe Martin, which can be very difficult for anyone in a large campervan or motorhome or towing a caravan or trailer. If you arrive from Combe Martin you can turn around in the Hele Bay Garage which is a mile along the road. The driveway signed Lydford Farm is NOT the entrance to the campsite. If you are towing a caravan please let the site know in advance if you are driving a four-wheel drive car. Little Meadow is on the 301 bus route.

Local attractions

With water gardens, vintage arcade games, a big river ride and lots of other fun activities – plus the castle itself, of course – Watermouth Castle has plenty to offer for all sorts of tastes. And as it’s only a 15-minute walk from the site you should certainly drop in there at some point. After that, maybe the rockpools of Combe Martin beach (five minutes’ drive), a wild time at Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (10 minutes) or an outing to Ilfracombe (10 minutes) for the Tunnels beaches and Lundy boat trips? Woolacombe (25 minutes) is another popular beach – especially for surfers – and there are excellent coast walks around Valley of Rocks (35 minutes). Family days out might take you to Exmoor Zoo (20 minutes) or The Big Sheep (45 minutes); more grownup options nearby include Marwood Hill Gardens (20 minutes), National Trust - Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum (25 minutes) and the gorgeous RHS Garden Rosemoor (55 minutes).
