  • Small family-friendly site in the South Hams two miles from the coast
  • Within walking distance of the South West Coast Path and beaches
  • Barbecues allowed; pub, restaurant and café within walking distance
Set up for sweet sea views and countryside courses in the South Hams… a small, family-friendly and dog-friendly site on a working livestock farm, Didwell Farm Campsite is well-positioned for clifftop wanders, catching waves or whiling the day away on the sand, within walking distance of Thurlestone and coastal paths. Down to the sea you go… with grassy pitches sloping down towards the valley, it’s easy to see your end destination. It’s a 35-minute walk to the South West Coast Path. From there, take your pick from Thurlestone’s five sandy beaches (all pretty splendid swimming spots). There are surfboards for hire and watersports galore at Bantham beach (an hour’s walk), the rockpools and rock archway at the National Trust’s South Milton Sands (40 minutes) or plenty of wildlife around the South Huish Wetlands Reserve’s boardwalks (40 minutes). No matter how far you walk or paddle out, there’s always a place to prop your feet back on site. The back to basics pitches are an easy-going place to unwind… perhaps rustle up a barbecue or take yourself off on a wander to source some tasty eats. Handily, there’s a café down by South Milton Sands and a restaurant and pub 35 minutes’ walk away from the site. If you’re looking to stock up on general food supplies, Kingsbridge (a market town with an indoor pool and bowling) is an easy five-minute drive away too. Here, you may take your pick from fish and chip shops, pubs and other cosy restaurants.

What customers say

Beautiful sea views, peaceful vibes, and big pitches are a winner here. Super clean barn facilities (showers, tea/coffee, fridges, freezers, microwave) and surprisingly fresh compost loos impress. Owners are a gem. A few grumbles about narrow access and a slight slope, but awesome value, say guests.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked We spent five nights here from 31st July to 5th August - we had the best time in glorious weather. The site is huge and peaceful with big views over the fields and the sea, and near some of the prettiest villages and beaches in the country. All ages seem to feel comfortable and welcome here. Rob is completely on top of everything - loos and showers and barn area (very handy fridges and freezers, power points etc.) are kept immaculately clean, and he is always around to chat. He is also very vigilant about noise, everything was quiet after 10pm - which I loved, as it's why we chose a site like this. We swam everyday - South Milton the nearest beach but my favourite probably Bantham where we had a sunset swim and picnic while watching the surfers. Salcombe and Dartmouth also lovely towns with lots to do and more great beaches nearby. Just a lovely holiday.

Disliked A few people have mentioned the very narrow roads and high hedges in the area - it was a bit of an issue. You need to be a confident driver and good at reversing!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked What a gorgeous setting with far reaching views to the sea. The facilities are excellent, and there is absolutely nothing to dislike about this pop up campsite. We walked to the lovely beach on both days of our stay and swam in the sea.

Disliked It was little tight for our van to get down the lane to the site.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Spectacular views of the Sea. Large field on the side of a hill

Disliked You could pitch anywhere but some places not very flat and depending where you pitch the facilities could be quite a walk
The track in is also very narrow

Would highly recommend. Great site. Great location. Would return.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Amazing facilities - wish more campsites had this. Do not be put off by the compost loos they were very well maintained and cleaner than many other campsites standard loos. Huge shower spaces for families and communal area in the barn with drinks and fab facilities were very much appreciated. Owners lovely and helpful. Plenty of space so never felt over crowded.

Disliked Leaving.

Local attractions

If you’ve got little ones to entertain, no need to fret. Pennywell Farm (35 minutes' drive) has pig racing, trailer rides and a miniature railway, plus plenty of friendly farm animals for hands-on experiences. Woodlands Family Theme Park (20 minutes) has some slightly more daring rides, including rollercoasters and toboggan runs, as well as a zoo park and falconry. Or, if you’re still looking to see more animals (and many of the wilder kind), Paignton Zoo Environmental Park (40 minutes) is a good detour. Paignton (45 minutes) itself has seaside resorts vibes in full with a busy beachfront, pier or steam railway rides a little further inland. A fishing village with thatched cottages… Hope Cove (10 minutes) is a stop off the South West Coast Path and home to two small coves. Take a fishing trip here or set sail from Salcombe (15 minutes), a sailing town. Afterwards, you may want to dedicate some time to browsing the boutique shops, dining in a fine restaurant or taking the ferry to East Portlemouth beach (35 minutes) or South Sands Beach (15 minutes).
