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 here 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.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The view and location! Perfect access to the coast and to the SW Coastal paths. Great site for my little dog and friendly people. Very laid back, and the site owner made sure everyone was considerate of other campers i.e. no music on after 11 which was nice. It's a nice, quiet, basic site in the valley.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but only one toilet and shower per field (two fields) so I can imagine it gets busy waiting for the loo in the summer months. Just something to be aware of especially if coming with a family.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. With regards to the toilets/ showers the toilet block in field 1 has a shower and toilet on each side and the horse box in field 2 has 2 of each aswell ( not sure if you were aware.) We do hope you come back and visit us again next season.

Great stay. Sea views. Hot showers, hot washing up. Good toilets.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Stayed for 1 night with my daughter, felt completely safe and secure .. showers were amazing, clean and hot !!! views were fantastic! Farmer came to see us on the morning we were leaving and gave us great advice on the costal path home which we did and the views didn’t disappoint … also amazing for wildlife !!!

Disliked: We didn’t see anyone when we arrived so no fire pit … but as it’s a working farm all was forgiven and the warm greeting the following morning compensated 😀

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So sorry we missed you and thank you for your understanding. Hope to see you again in the future.

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).
