If you’re heading to North Devon for surfing, cycling and long walks with your four-legged friend, you’ve hit bullseye. Lobb Fields Caravan and Camping Park, a family-oriented site a five-minute drive from Braunton village, has an atmosphere of relaxation and togetherness that includes a welcome for visiting dogs. The site is on the outskirts of the peaceful North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so it’s surrounded by some of the region’s most sublime landscapes. Saunton Sands, a surfing and swimming beach with sandy dunes, is a 40-minute walk away (or a five-minute drive). There’s a surfing academy close by (five minutes’ drive) for those who’d like to take their surfing skills to the next level. Just head to the big blue bus overlooking Croyde beach to kickstart your sessions; it doesn’t matter what age you are or howinexperienced you are. Paddleboarding taster sessions, courses and half- or full-day tours are also on their schedule. The site’s owners believe that a holiday should include all the family, so canines are welcome year-round, and there’s a dog walk on site to make sure that they get timely walkies. Foodies, never fear, there are plenty of tasty treats to tuck into around here. Nearby Braunton village is packed with characterful independent restaurants, shops, delis, bars and cafés (plus the Museum of British Surfing, if you fancy it). A few foodie spots recommended by the site include a café with specialty coffee and doughnuts (15 minutes’ walk), a rum bar (20 minutes) and a fish and chip shop (20 minutes) that serves renowned crisped cod in batter (with mushy peas, naturally). There’s also an independent shop selling cool handcrafted jewellery.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Lovely friendly helpful staff. The showers were excellent, probably the best we have ever had at a campsite and the facilities were all very clean. The added bonus of different food trucks both nights was really good, it gave everyone a chance to mix and chat to other campers.

Disliked: Not really a problem but the pitches are quite close together, it was not full when we were there but I think if it was it would have felt quite cramped

Powered grass campsite

Liked: We stayed here for the May half term, the wardens are very friendly and helpful. The site is situated on a gentle hillside with great views, open space and plenty of sun when it comes out. The shower blocks are very clean with plenty of hot water. Just outside the site are bus stops with regular buses in the direction of Barnstable or Croyde.

Local attractions

The Tarka Trail (20 minutes’ walk) is a 180-mile route inspired by the travels of the famed literary otter. Walk along more than 30 miles of disused railway tracks between Braunton and Meeth, or head to Barnstaple (15 minutes’ drive), where you can hire a bike for faster progress through salt marshes, woodland and riverside meadows. The coastal town of Ilfracombe (20 minutes) is known for four Victorian tunnels leading to sheltered beaches, rugged coves and rockpools. If you’re after a wide expanse of sand, Woolacombe (20 minutes) might be more up your street. Lifeguarded and dog-friendly, this is a popular spot for windsurfing and bodyboarding. There are big cats, wolves and lifesize dinosaur models at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (half an hour). If you're after more approachable beasties, at the BIG Sheep (half an hour), kids can bottle-feed lambs and meet pygmy goats, rabbits and puppies.
