  • 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.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely campsite: gorgeous cafe with really nice food and cakes , great choice of pitches, wonderful farm animals, good selection of products in farm shop, dog friendly site, amazing walks nearby, hot showers, freezers , watching machines .

Disliked No loo roll in any of the men’s toilets one morning , but this was sorted by the afternoon.

Also, not the campsite’s fault but some inconsiderate camper van guests nearby who played music for about 12 hours non stop until late at night . Perhaps a no-music section for campers who don’t wanna hear the irritating base beat of other peoples music would be a good call.

But honestly that was the only issue and it’s a really awesome site.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Pitch anywhere with no size limits, allowed to have campfires and BBQs, rocks provided for the fires. Incredibly well stocked shop with pretty much anything you'd need for a camping trip, including logs, kindling, charcoal etc.
Plenty of water fill up points dotted around, excellent toilet/shower/washing up facilities inside a barn always with hot water.
Some parts of the site can be quite exposed when the wind picks up, but the views from the hill over the sea are worth the noisy tent. Can choose to pitch in more protected areas, but the trees block the sea view.
Very quiet site, only noises are animals and the occasional tractor nearby.

Disliked Very very minor gripe, but the pitches with the best view are a little bit of a trek from the toilet/shower block, the extra steps are worth it for the great view though.

Seb W.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked The friendly welcome. The well organised site with beautiful views of the sea. The showers because of the steady supply of hot water and because they were clean. The attitude towards fires. The numerous water points on the site. The relaxed attitude towards the departure. The menu choicesThe owners who clearly work very hard and are very dedicated.

Disliked Disliked the rude manner in which the equestrian lady spoke to my partner because she had inadvertently wandered into the vicinity of the horses (not clearly marked).
You can convey the same message without being rude or abrupt and chastising an adult like you would a child. We tried not to allow one person to mar our judgement on our visit.

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.
