Camping at meadowsweet

  • Rustic and peaceful sustainable farm site on the north Devon coast
  • A five-minute drive to Saunton Sands; 15 minutes to Barnstaple
  • Communal campfire and portable fire troughs; access to the Tarka Trail
Green-fingered guests will surely find like-minded folk at Meadowsweet Farm, on the north Devon coast. Bearing homegrown fruit and veg for the local community and rearing rare-breed animals such as the endangered Suffolk Punch horse, this site is a fast-track route back to nature five minutes’ drive from Saunton Sands and 15 minutes from Barnstaple. It's a place where the peace, sea breeze and sustainability mingle together to create a rural camping experience on a small eco-friendly farm. If surfing ranks high on the list for your trip, you’ll be well set with the local swell on several sandy beaches within 20 minutes’ drive. And if walking or cycling is your favourite pursuit, you can head out over the sand dunes (a great setting for watching the sunset) or walk right onto the lengthy Tarka Trail for a self-guided cycling and walking tour over Devon’s cliffs and coves. Friendly guests should find some good chat on site, as social and sensible souls can make use of the communal firepits (with wood available from the farm). And for when you feel like quality family time or gathering in a close-knit group, there are also portable fire troughs. With no electricity, this off-grid site will take you nicely back to basics, with just simple facilities such as toilets, sinks and hot showers on site. When you want to head into town, Braunton (five minutes’ drive) has several restaurants and a supermarket for food and a selection of pubs for a tipple. Surf shops, bike hire and guided nature walks with a local botanist are available too.

What customers say

Relaxed, back-to-basics site near Saunton Sands. Guests love the car-free field, fire pits, and natural setting. Clean toilets and warm showers. Some want hot water for washing up and note occasional road noise. Eco-friendly with farm animals.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Very friendly hosts
Simple, peaceful and very basic, but far from the madding crowds of Croyde and Saunton, but close enough to sample their delights.
Bats feeding at sunset .

Disliked No hot water at washing up station.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The host was a hidden gem! He gave my partner an I a concert, playing originals from another time - just his voice and his acoustic guitar. It was nothing short of exceptional. In the morning he showed us the animals he took care of and allowed us to pick apples from his orchard. Our camping spot was just fine as were the facilities.

Local attractions

Nature likes to spread its feathers in this area and it shows… almost on your doorstep are Swanpool Marsh Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ walk), which makes a nice contrast to clifftop curves of the north Devon coast and the steep drops along the Hartland Devon Heritage Coast (45 minutes' drive). The beach is calling too: at Saunton Sands (five minutes), paddleboarding, sailing and wakeboarding are common pursuits. And depending on your skill level, you could whip out (or rent) a surfboard or bodyboard for days at Croyde (10 minutes) or Woolacombe (20 minutes). Perhaps create a coastal bucket list, as this area harbours many National Trust sites, from the clifftops of Baggy Point (15 minutes) to the horsedrawn carriage collection at the peaceful neoclassical Arlington Court (35 minutes). Kids tagging along? They’ll likely have a roaring time at Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (half an hour). Find more rides, this time farm-themed, at The BIG Sheep (half an hour).
