  • Rural camping 15 minutes’ drive from the Jurassic Coast in Devon
  • A 15-minute drive from Beer and Seaton; 25 minutes from Lyme Regis
  • Family-run park with rare breeds and walking trails to explore
Out in search of a Devon getaway a short distance from a striking coastline? You’ll soon be raising a toast for a retreat just 15 minutes’ drive from the Jurassic Coast … Farway Countryside Park is the name and it’s a truly peaceful camping experience. The spacious pitches here are located in a large field, with plenty of peace and some truly lovely views across the Southleigh Valley. This is a family-run park with rare breed animals to meet and lots of walking trails to explore. The East Devon location is quite dreamy in terms of scenery, and there’s more of that a short drive away: the Jurassic Coast, famed for its dramatic limestone cliffs, curvaceous coves and fossils, is particularly talented in that respect. Amble over The Cobb in Lyme Regis, 25 minutes’ drive away, or beeline for Beer beach (15 minutes’ drive), which is surrounded by white cliffs. After being away from your base for a while, you might start missing all your mod cons. The facilities at this site include toilets, showers and a washing-up area. Campfires are also allowed. The final jigsaw piece – for those of you with canines anyway – will be that Farway Countryside Park is dog-friendly too. There are also shops five minutes’ drive away in Colyton for gathering supplies.

What customers say

Spacious, clean, rural campsite with stunning views. Large, level pitches. Top-notch, clean facilities. Plenty for kids: play barn, animals, open spaces. Fun Friday entertainment/BBQs. Minor gripes (trampoline, dust) outweighed by overwhelmingly positive feedback & return visits.

Powered grass campsite

Liked We have had a fabulous half term. The kids have had so much to do. Rope swing, play barn swings trampoline and farm animals. They have had massive open spaces to run and meet new friends. Beautiful long walk through the sheep’s field with beautiful views. Facilities clean. Lovely hot showers. Owner happy to put up with 100 questions from my youngest. Best campsite we have been to. Music was played by others but all respectful and off by 10pm

Disliked There are gaps olin the shower room doors but I just hung up a towel

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Clean showers. Relaxed atmosphere. Self check in and out. Really large pitches. Kids felt free enough to go to the park and trampoline alone.

Disliked Toilets got blocked quickly. Could have benefited from a small shop for basics like milk but we survived.

Liked Lovely setting and great that the rubbish was dealt with everyday so the site looked tidy and clean.
- just an observations… trampoline looks like it could do with an upgrade… very wobbly and doesn’t look all that safe when more than one child is on it.
But All in all, the site was wonderful

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great place, great walks and we will definitely be back.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We had a great pitch that over looked the fields and across country. People /staff were very friendly. We had such a great time.

Disliked The shower doors were a bit see through and as it was unisex we had to hang our towels over the back of the door!! But that is being a bit picky they were clean and tidy and gave you a real outdoor feeling.

Liked By far my favourite camp site, so much for the kids to do.

Disliked Was disappointed this time as it has always been so clean and well kept in the past but this time there was dog poo everywhere, the toilets were in a poor state more down to disrespectful guests but they were not being cleaned as regular as before. The showers also were filthy all weekend.

Local attractions

Kids are in for a ride (as are the adults for that matter) on the 60 different attractions at Crealy Theme Park and Resort (half an hour’s drive). The Seaton Tramway’s (five minutes) heritage rides up the Axe Valley are likely to be a little less bumpy than the rollercoasters. Wildwood Escot (20 minutes) has softer attractions too, like slides, play areas and animal activities for younger kids. Beach day? There’s a beach in Seaton (15 minutes) and in Axmouth (20 minutes) too. If the sand and sea just isn’t cutting it one day, you may want to schedule in some time in the 18th-century Bicton Park Botanical Gardens (25 minutes) or Pecorama (15 minutes), which has model railways and a light railway above Beer. The south-coast attractions aren’t all about the cliffs, coves and coastal paths. Animals share the limelight too, especially at The Donkey Sanctuary (10 minutes) and the World of Country Life (40 minutes), which has vintage vehicles and chances to feed lambs and chicks.
