Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring your horse… all are welcome at Lower Ford, a rural Devon farm 20 minutes' drive away from Exmoor National Park and 10 minutes from Tiverton. For much of the year this farm is dedicated to training racehorses, but when there’s a break in summer the place opens up a pop-up site where guests can come along to share in the rural atmosphere, soak up the lovely views, look out for deer in the neighbouring stag farm and make use of the stabling facilities if they’d like to take their horse on holiday. They can also meet and feed Lolli and Honey, the comical and over-friendly goats. Those travelling with horses may like to make use of nearby showjumping and cross-country facilities and the schooling area on site, or set out to explore country lanes and bridleways on horseback. There are several beaches within easy driving distance – both for riders and for those who’d just like a bit of a seaside stroll or a paddle. Excellent bridleways and footpaths through forests, fields and alongside rivers are always a short drive away too. This is a handily located farm, just a little way off the A361 and about two miles from the village of Oakford, which has a pub and a kids’ park. There are also several cafés, restaurants and shops in Tiverton, along with canalside walks and a castle to visit. Pitches here are simple in style but have access to all the essential facilities including a toilet and a shower. A barbecue is provided too, and you can hire firepits if you’d like to construct a campfire. An enclosed area has also been set up for dogs to have a good run around off lead.

Ik was blij met: We had a great time at Lower Ford. It was magical to hear the red deer bugling so close by and the views were amazing. Danny was so kind and helpful and went out of her way to give us tips and help us see the deer. I would thoroughly recommend this campsite!

Ik was blij met: Beautiful scenery, ideal location-remote but not too far to venture somewhere. The host was more than accommodating (we booked last minute and we're the only ones on site) so they quickly set the shower and environment back up for us. I love horses so this is based on a race yard so that was a bonus to have them grazing in the next field to look at. Amazing space.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Their are only two points to make (more feedback than a dislike) It is quite costly to take the dog (£10 per dog) And the toilet could maybe do with a small solar light (but a good torch worked ok) its just we were in our converted van and don't have a toilet so early morning toilet need was a dark one :)

Van de manager: Thank you for you comments 😊 We have taken note of your improvements and will sort prices and lighting as both valid points.

Quiet, Value for money, gorgeous views!

Ik was blij met: Lovely quiet camping area with gorgeous views & friendly horses. We love camping but wanted to try somewhere close to ‘test’ our 5 month old over night so we opted for the lovely bell tent. We were the only ones on site which was amazing if it didn’t go well & meant our toddler just run about for miles and burn off steam. Showers & toilet lovely and clean, nice hot shower & we met the owners who were both welcoming & helpful. Will stay again!

Ik was niet zo blij met: If I had to give any constructive feedback, the beds are quite hard & no handle on the loo confused the toddler! Other than that, perfect ☺️
