  • Devon farm site within minutes of several beaches
  • A mile from the River Dart, two from Paignton and three from Totnes
  • Peaceful setting on 400 acres with 15 acres of apple orchards
What might you say to camping on a Devon farm only a couple of miles away from the beach, minutes from Paignton and Totnes, with views that might make you crumble? What about a site that produces its own scrumpy cider from 15 acres of on-site apple orchards among its 400 acres? Like the many returning guests of Broadleigh Farm Park, you might say it’s pretty sweet. If driving makes you crabby, the nine acres of Broadleigh Farm Park are where to base yourself to see the sights of Devon: Paignton and Totnes are two and three miles away respectively; supplies – and pubs – in the village of Stoke Gabriel about 15 minutes’ walk, and the activities and sights of Dartmoor within around half an hour’s drive. Miles of walks are available straight from the site, and for little pipsqueaks, Pennywell Farm and Paignton Zoo are both within (short) driving distance. Facilities including showers, toilets, launderette and washing-up area are kept in apple-pie order: you’ll find free hairdryers too and there are disabled facilities and a parent and baby washroom. Broadleigh is a working farm, so while dogs are welcome, please keep them on leads while on site or unless in the separate dog-walking field.

What customers say

Spacious, clean site with modern facilities & friendly staff. Enjoyed the peace, views & shop. Some pitches are sloped (need levellers), narrow access roads. Cider barn with music was a hit!

Liked Lovely area with great of the surrounding fields. Very peaceful. Great facilities. Really cool barn area with a bar and live music.

Disliked The only thing that lets this campsite down was the electric hookup situation. Basically there aren’t enough electric boxes on the site!
We paid for hook up, but ended up not being able to use it. The electric boxes are so spread around. You need a super long cable.
There were also people that were cheekily putting their cables through hedges to reach a box easier. Which seemed a bit harsh. We did manage to move pitches so to be closer to a box and hook up. But we drove out for the evening to get some food, and then when we came back, our electric box was taken by others. It was all a bit annoying!

From the manager: I am sorry that you felt the need to give us such a bad review and request a refund for your second night due to someone plugging into the electric point that you had used prior to going out for the day.
If you had phoned us we could have sorted the electric out for you without the need to move pitches as your pitch was not occupied by someone else. This was a situation that could have been easily rectified by us had you told us whilst you was onsite and not through an email or bad review once you had left the site.
Because of this I am not going to offer you a refund for the second night as you have requested in your email.
As for the shop, we receive many compliments on it being a well stocked shop for basic requirements so i am sorry this also didn't meet your expectations.
Our campsite is clearly advertised as being on a farm in the countryside, hence how you had dark skies for stars, so there are many walks around, again had you asked us we could have helped.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Pleasant site, plenty of space. Good facilities, i.e. washing up area, freezer block fridge, shower units etc., shop for basics. Friday evening music session and community space.

Disliked Long way to walk to showers/toilets from our tent pitch. Showers last for 10 seconds only. Yes 10 seconds!. Of course you can start them again, and I have no objection to saving water but 10 secs. seems a bit short. On the other hand, shower units were spacious with place to put clothes etc. without getting everything wet.

Local attractions

The Devon village of Stoke Gabriel is about a mile from the site and has a supermarket, pubs, a shop, a post office and gentle riverside ambles along the Dart to ancient village streets or the old apple orchard. Pick up some crabbing gear and head for the Stoke Gabriel quay to catch a few specimens; this is a well-known crabbing area and just the spot to teach the kids how to master the art. If boats are your bag, hire a vessel to sail up the river to Totnes or catch the ferry downstream to Dittisham, opposite Agatha Christie’s old home and inspiration at the Greenway Estate – no need to keep your eyes peeled for somewhat spectacular river views. From here you can go on to Dartmouth, where the river releases to the sea, and stop off for an afternoon’s shopping or to see Dartmouth Castle, one of a pair of forts protecting the mouth of the Dart Estuary and part of a harbour cruise from Dartmouth to Kingswear. Safe and spotless beaches abound within a few minutes’ drive of Broadleigh, from the award-winning sands of Goodrington, the closest beach to the site, to nearby Brixham and Torquay among other family-friendly sandy fare. If the weather’s a little damp, Goodrington’s Seashore Centre has free admission and info on the history of the 22-mile stretch of the English Riviera. Broadleigh lies roughly halfway between Plymouth and Exeter, both within about 40 minutes’ drive.
