What customers say
Top spot! Spacious pitches, stunning sea views, and super-clean facilities. Owners are brilliant, great value, and a peaceful vibe. Food trucks and play area are hits. Minor water pressure hiccups and tight lanes, but all in all, a brilliant stay.

From the manager: Many thanks for the lovely review of your stay at our campsite. I was sorry to see you felt the cleanliness didn't deserve full marks. We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our facilities etc but unfortunately we are at the mercy of our campers until the next cleaning slot. We look forward to welcoming you back again sometime.

Loved the choice of fields to camp.
Good price for May
Disliked Shame the visiting food vans left so early....missed the pizza which I was looking forward to

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review of your stay with us Karen.
Our vans usually leave when they are sold out. The wood fired Pizzas are cooked and served by Livit - the glamping part of Westacott Farm and sell out very quickly.
Perfect week spend camping.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We had such a lovely time at this campsite, so much so that we extended our stay by another couple of night as we just weren’t ready to leave.
The facilities were spotless. There was a lovely play area for the kids to play in. It was so lovely and peaceful even during the half term holidays.
There was a little coffee truck every morning serving hot drinks and pastries. And on the evenings there were different food trucks if you don’t feel like cooking.
There is a rocky beach close by which you can only get to by foot which was completely empty when we went which was fantastic for letting the dogs loose and the kids swim in the pools that formed when the tide was out.
The campsite is close by to Bideford and everything you could need such as supermarkets and shops. It’s a perfect base to explore a variety of different beaches along the coast which cater to everyone’s needs.
We will definitely be returning to this gem of a site!
Disliked Disliked absolutely nothing, it’s a wonderful site.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Very friendly lady on reception , kind & welcoming. Great location , shower blocks lovely and modern. Very chilled atmosphere , and what a bonus walking to the end of the lane to watch a magnificent sunset over Lundy island.
Enjoyable stay, would recommend & if I am ever in the area again I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Toilet block with music was a brilliant idea. It was very spacious, not crowded, and offered a lovely view of the meadow and Atlantic site. It was also very peaceful.
Disliked I think there was a sign about the water pressure at the main toilet block, but it probably needs to be looked at. 🔧👨🔧

From the manager: Thank you for the lovely review of your stay with us this month and I'm glad you all enjoyed it.
I'm afraid that during May half term when we are full, everyone is using the facilities at the same time which affects the pressure, but we will look at it again to see if there is anything we can do other than reducing our number of pitches during busy times.
We would love to welcome you back again when in the area.

Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Nice layout, flat pitch for the tent and plenty of space. Great fire pit rental system and coffee and jacket potato hut on site was a nice touch as well. Amazing views and sunset over Lundy island was beautiful
Disliked The water pressure in the shower was poor but overall the facilities were clean and well maintained . Children playing outside the tents wasn’t appreciated since there was a designated kids play area a short distance away.

From the manager: That you for a lovely review of your stay with us. I'm sorry you felt the water pressure was poor, unfortunately this happens at times when we are full and everyone is using the facilities to draw water at the same time.
I'm afraid the designated play area isn't always the right place for children to play especially when the play area is in a different field and parents aren't able to keep an eye on them. In this day and age I'm not sure that I would want any child out of sight on a campsite amongst strangers.
