  • 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.

What customers say

Great spot for coastal walks & local sights. Friendly staff, clean facilities & decent-sized pitches get a thumbs-up. A few grumbles about WiFi & washbasin queues, but generally a top stay – many keen to come back. Site improvements noted.

Disliked A very intimidating man in a 4x4 scaring my nephew and making false accusations. We believe he was from the farm but refused to give his name. Driving his vehicle very unsafely through the site.

Liked A wonderful little campsite with beautiful scenery. Ideal base for exploring Devon.
The toilets and showers were very clean and tidy.The shop sells some basics and the morning freshly baked croissants were a wonderful addition.

Disliked There are no power outlets for hair dryers or phone chargers. If these were added we would visit again.

Liked The view!

Disliked We had been enjoying our stay until a very upsetting incident involving a member of staff completely changed our experience.

My 13-year-old son and another boy of a similar age had only just met. After doing the washing up, they were sitting on a bench outside the laundry area, chatting and getting to know each other. A member of staff driving a blue Land Rover approached them and immediately began shouting at them. I could hear this from my pitch. He accused them of blocking the toilets earlier that morning and told them they would be “gone by morning”. This was impossible, as neither child had even been awake before 11am. He also accused my son of throwing stones in the car park. While my son had been absent-mindedly tossing a small stone into the air and catching it, he was not throwing it at vehicles, people or property.

Both boys were visibly upset, so I calmly approached the member of staff to ask what had happened. Instead of speaking to me respectfully, he drove his Land Rover directly towards me and stopped so close that I had to step backwards to avoid my feet being run over. He then began shouting at me through the vehicle window, repeatedly jabbing his finger at me and repeatedly referring to my 13-year-old son as a “pervert” because he claimed the boys had been “hanging around the toilets”.

I remained calm throughout the conversation, but he became increasingly aggressive before driving away at speed, throwing up dust and stones. As I walked back towards our pitch, he returned, stopped beside my son and began shouting at him again. The other boy’s mother came over and was subjected to the same aggressive behaviour and false accusations. He then drove so close to her that she also had to move to avoid her feet being struck.

Being falsely accused is upsetting enough, but hearing a member of staff repeatedly describe two 13-year-old boys as “perverts” was shocking and deeply distressing. No family should expect to be treated in this way by someone employed by the campsite.

I submitted a formal complaint to the campsite and requested that they investigate the incident. Apart from an automated acknowledgement confirming receipt, I have received no response. I hope they take this matter seriously, both by investigating what happened and by ensuring that no other family has to experience similar behaviour.

Liked Lovely quiet site with everything you need. The staff were super helpful and the kids loved it. Great views too and not too far to walk to local spots. 3 and 7 year old managed the walk to the harbour and pub no problem.

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).
