Clovelly Fields Camping is a spacious and well-located site in the gorgeous Devon countryside, close to the border with Cornwall and the South West Coast Path. As the name suggests, the cute fishing village of Clovelly (famed for its cobbled streets and pretty harbour) is five minutes’ drive away. It’s the sort of place where you could cheerfully sit back for many an hour to gaze out at the sheep grazing peacefully on the surrounding pastures or perhaps take a gentle walk through the fields to take in coastal views across to Saunton Sands. There’s a ‘hidden gem’ of a beach a couple of miles away at Buck’s Mills (don’t tell everyone, but it’s a fab spot for sea splashing and rockpooling at low tide). You may well have more activity in mind though when staying here: the site sits in farmland just next to the Milky Way Adventure Park, so you’ll have easy access to days of fun at one of the UK’s top-rated amusement parks. (Guests at this site get special rates too, so you can book VIP pass holder tickets… and do make sure to book ahead, because it’s a popular place.) And there’s more where that came from… just on the other side of the site is the North Devon Wake Park, which has wakeboarding for both novices and experts, an inflatable aqua park and a cool lakeside clubhouse for chilling out and watching the action with snacks and beers. For more watersports action, it’s a 25-minute drive to the surf beaches at Bude and Sandymouth Bay (or you can try out the sandy stretch 15 minutes away at Westward Ho!) This is a pop-up site but it’s still got a good collection of facilities around its spacious pitches: guests have access to washing-up facilities, portable toilets, showers and toilets with sinks. Food shops, a chippie and an award-winning pub are within five minutes’ drive; there’s a larger supermarket 15 minutes away in Bideford.
