Browns farm caravan park

  • Family-owned site with spacious pitches on a Devon working farm
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Exeter and the Jurassic Coast
  • Lots of walks in the local area; 10 minutes' walk to cosy village pub
Surrounded by lovely scenery next to the 14th-century farmhouse on a working farm, you’ll probably feel like you’re completely immersed in rural Devon when you stay at Browns Farm Caravan Park. And indeed you will be – the pitches at this family-owned site are spacious and peaceful, and a short drive away from footpaths for walking alone or with your dog by your side. Other outdoor activities including fishing, golf and horse riding can also be tracked down in the local area. Fittingly for a real rural location, there’s a lovely old pub 10 minutes’ walk away in the local village of Woodbury Salterton for drinks and dinner by the log fire under the traditional beams. There’s much more to this place than purely rural outings though, as it’s in an excellent spot for all sorts of days out. City days in Exeter and sandy ones in Budleigh Salterton require a drive of about 15 minutes or so, and there are plenty of attractions nearby too, from the rides of Crealy Theme Park to the floral displays of Bicton Park Botanical Gardens. Wherever you choose to roam, you’ll be coming back to peaceful pitches backed by hedgerows and with access to handy facilities including wifi, a washing-up area, a launderette, chemical disposal and a bathroom block with toilets and showers (including disabled facilities).

FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite (premium)

Liked Some pitches were divided by a hedge stopping encroachment. Serviced pitch had good water pressure. Excellent clean facilities. Warm welcome from the owners.

Disliked It was great to have WiFi on the pitch but it regularly dropped out.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite (plus)

Liked Polite greeting and nice pitch.

Disliked not many footpaths to walk in local area, ideal for going outside the area, however, the local small roads are busy and have little or no paths. Could only find one footpath nearby and that was not great. But for venturing around the area...great.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are always happy to give advice on walks local to the site ,please do ask should you visit again or peruse the leaflets and maps available on site.

Kirsty B.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite (plus)

Liked A quiet site, albeit occasional lowing of cattle (due to it being a working farm). Pitches fairly flat, lots of hedge cover. Easy to reach from main road (the sat nav will deliver you to a bend in the road with no sign of the campsite, but don't panic, just look for the small Browns Farm sign on the side of the road around the bend to guide you the final 20m). Friendly owner. The walk to the nearest pub (Diggers Rest) is a 7-8 min walk along a quiet (but unlit) country road, so if heading out in the darker evenings, take hi-viz and a torch to be on the safe side. The site is well situated for Exmouth; there are several National Trusts not far away (A La Ronde, Killerton etc). Great alternative to staying in a pricey hotel if you are visiting something at Westpoint arena over a weekend.

Disliked There are only two women's toilets and two basins - quite understandable as this is predominantly a caravan/motorhome park rather than catering for tents, but worth bearing in mind. Lovely hot water though!

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased that you liked our site. We are happy for guests to use the accessible toilet/hand basin should they find other options occupied.

Local attractions

Time to stretch your legs? The closest spot is Woodbury Common, a mile away and a handy spot for dog walking, but there’s much to explore as the site sits on the edge of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. And of course there’s always the South West Coast Path – the seven-mile stretch from Budleigh Salterton to Sidmouth is a particularly rewarding one. Speaking of the coast, Budleigh Salterton (15 minutes’ drive) is a lovely place for a day out on the sandy beach, but you could also explore the offerings of Exmouth (15 minutes) or Dawlish (half an hour). Keeping it countryside instead, there’s fishing at Hogsbrook Lakes (five minutes), golf at Woodbury Park (five minutes) and the chance to coo over cute animals at either World of Country Life (15 minutes) or The Donkey Sanctuary (20 minutes). To keep the kids entertained for a full day, try the rides, shows, play areas and animal attractions at Crealy Theme Park (five minutes).
