  • Peaceful site near Combe Martin, with views over the coast
  • A 15-minute drive from Ilfracombe and Exmoor Zoo
  • On the edge of Exmoor National Park and a mile from the coast path
What an enviable Exmoor location this is for a Devon camping holiday: Silver View Camping is just on the edge of the national park and around five minutes’ drive from the beach at Combe Martin. Pitches, covering two fields, have fine views over the valley and out to sea; on a clear day you’ll get glimpses of Lundy island (which you can also visit on boat trips from Ilfracombe, 15 minutes’ drive away). The setup is all very eco-friendly and relaxed: think of it as being a bit like wild camping but with the added luxury of access to drinking water, compost and flushing toilets, showers and a rubbish/recycling point. Campfires are generally allowed too for that true outdoor evening experience – the team here just ask that you consult with them first if planning a campfire or firepit, and pay attention to safety (raising your firepit off the ground and making sure all the flames are fully extinguished before you leave it). Please buy all of your wood on site. This is a handily located site for all sorts of days out – it’s about a mile from here to the South West Coast Path, and only a tiny bit further to kayak and paddleboard hire at Combe Martin beach (truly the way to explore, say the owners – and you might meet seals or dolphins along the way). There are plenty more walks and activities to be had around Exmoor National Park too, and plenty of ways to keep the kids amused with trips to Exmoor Zoo and the Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park.

What customers say

Spectacular views, tranquil vibe and generous pitches get thumbs up. Clean facilities (showers, loos, charging ports, freezer) and superb staff are highlights. Steep walk from Combe Martin, but mostly excellent value, though some mention shower temp or pitch slopes.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Stunning views, from every pitch. Really relaxed vibe. Clean showers and toilets.

Disliked I acknowledge this isn’t the camp sites fault but got woken up so many times in the night to sheep as it’s so close to so many farms. I also stepped in dog poo which was gross but also not the sites fault, we took dogs but monitored them closely to ensure any poo was picked up and it’s shame not everyone was willing to do that.

One think I did notice that in the other toilet block on the second field there was no bin to dispose of sanitary items, which might’ve been intentional but would’ve been nice.

Also really tight lanes to access, was a nightmare trying to head back up to the camp site as other cars were coming down as the hill is really steep and not many spot to pull into.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns, and I’m sorry that some aspects of your stay were disappointing.
I’m particularly sorry that you were disturbed during the night by sheep in the adjoining/local fields. Unfortunately, as the campsite is situated in a rural location, livestock can sometimes be heard, and this is something we have limited control over. We do appreciate, however, that being woken during the night is frustrating and apologise for the disturbance.
I’m also very sorry that you stepped in dog mess. We do require all guests to pick up after their dogs, and this clearly had not been done on this occasion. We appreciate how unpleasant and frustrating this must have been and will continue to remind guests of their responsibility to clean up after their dogsand to keep them on leads.
With regard to access, the lanes leading towards the village are rural and can be narrow in places. There is an alternative, longer route which is more easily accessible for those who would prefer to avoid the narrower lanes, and we are happy to advise guests on this route.
We’re sorry that these issues affected your experience and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. We hope that, despite these points, you were able to enjoy the peaceful rural setting and surroundings of the site. you for taking time to leave a review.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Nice view, quiet campsite and good facilities.

Disliked Only very minor comment was confusion about where to park up, we left our number in a space only to find someone else had parked there when we returned later. Not a biggie as there was plenty of other spots though.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely campsite with valley view and glimpses of the sea. Facilities were clean. Owner that we met was very friendly and helpful. Large open spaces when we were there on a mid August weekend. Noise was kept to a minimum. After 10pm owner does patrol for noisier groups. About 1 mile and a half walk to Combe Martin beach downhill which means its uphill on the way back!.

Disliked Nothing.

Local attractions

To the beach? It’s a fine suggestion, as some of north Devon’s top spots are close by. The peaceful stretch of shingle and sand at Combe Martin is your closest option (five minutes’ drive) and a lovely sheltered spot for swimming or paddleboarding. A little further along the coast, stop in at Ilfracombe (15 minutes) for the unusual Tunnels beaches accessed via hand-carved tunnels, or to board boat trips for a sea safari or an outing to Lundy island. There’s an aquarium here too for a handy damp-day activity. Woolacombe (25 minutes) is another good choice for a beach trip, especially if you’re into your surfing. Away from the coast there are plenty of other options for family days out, including Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (five minutes) and Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes) for animal encounters and Watermouth Castle (10 minutes) for rides and kid-friendly attractions. You may also like to see all the old vehicles at Arlington Court & National Trust Carriage Museum, take a ride on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (both 15 minutes) or pedal bikes along the traffic-free Tarka Trail from Barnstaple (25 minutes).
