Liked: Liked everything about this site, small and friendly Shelly and Eric are fantastic hosts. Great pitch, love that you pay for the electric you use. Fantastic facilities, some of the best we've experienced spotlessly clean at all times, with a little radio playing feels almost like a spa. Great kitchen area with fridge, kettle toaster and microwave. Pitch dark at night so great for star gazing but don't forget your torch. Fantastic area for walking with lots to see and do. With this campsite it's all about the little touches thanks Shelly for making us feel so welcome
Disliked: That we weren't staying longer. We will be back.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: It was peaceful and we had all the facilities we needed with bringing our portable camping stove and sponges for washing up. The owners were very kind and accommodating and there were only 6 other people on this site at its busiest. Close to some lovely areas of Devon and we were able to take a walk on Exmoor on the way home. Fantastic place.

From the manager: Lovely to meet you both. Thank you for choosing to stay here on your short break on this adult only campsite. Delighted you were able to enjoy some of our beautiful scenery. The campsite is a bit remote with lovely views, which adds to its charm. Warm wishes.
A wonderful cosy, friendly, homely, clean and well kept campsite.

Liked: I loved our stay here, its a really cosy, homely feel and super quiet and peaceful too. Toilets and showers were lovely and clean and there's never too many people on the campsite at once. The owners were wonderful and helpful and we definitely want to go back, its a lovely location with cute villages nearby and lovely beautiful cliff top walks not far away. I don't particularly enjoy camping but i did enjoy camping here for sure, the most relaxed I felt for sure! Highly recommend!

From the manager: Thank you for your kind comments. The Hartland Peninsular is an amazing place with fantastic scenery, especially along the Coastal Path and Hartland Quay.

Liked: We stayed at Higher Chepstow Farm for 3 days. The site is wonderful, it is peaceful with nighttime dark Skys to enthuse your inner astronomer. Your host Michelle is a lovely lady and makes you feel very welcome. The facilities are keep very clean at all time with showers and toilets and a kitchen area if needed. If you need wifi although the site does not provide an actual wifi signal the 4g Phone signal is excellent with speeds above 30mbps for internet access. We were there during storm Antoni and had to stay an extra day due to the disruption to travel. Our host was very accommodating with this. It was our 40th Wedding anniversary and we had said that we wanted to go out and get a cream tea as part of our celebration. Michelle very kindly made us scones and delivered a cream tea to our motorhome. They were some of the best scones we have ever tasted. Ducks wander around the farm yard and into the site they are a wonderful site to behold. If you are looking for a modern busy site, this location is not for you. If you are looking for a bar and music, this location is not for you. If you want play area and loads of kids playing, again this site is not for you. However, if you are looking for a peaceful tranquil site on an organic farm with a friendly host and clean and adequate facilities, no children and likeminded campers with excellent scenic walks within the vicinity then we highly recommend Higher Chepstow Farm as a wonderful location to spend your vacation..
Disliked: Storm Antonio but nothing about the location

Liked: Love this beautiful place, part of a working beef farm with very friendly owners . The campsite is a field, part of which is left wild. Immaculate facilities with everything you need provided including a fridge and microwave. The ducks wander around in the evening and there is a big adjoining field for the dogs to chase in. It's so peaceful and the view of the stars at night is amazing. Couldn't recommend a better place to get away from everything!

From the manager: Thank you. We are so blessed to live in such a lovely place where you can see stars and the moon on a clear night, and where we can live and work in peace and harmony with nature. With warm wishes.
Quiet, relaxing, beautiful setting, clean, and welcoming.

Liked: Both Eric and Michelle were the best hosts! So kind and accommodating. The farm is the perfect peaceful place, with no other sounds than wildlife. Very accommodating for dogs too, Michelle even opened up an enclosed field to allow us and others to let the dogs run off lead. The facilities are so well done and immaculate. Would absolutely go back!

From the manager: Thank you for allowing me to spend time with your lovely dog Buddy. It was a pleasure to host you. Yes, apart from the farm noises it is lovely and quiet here.

From the manager: So pleased that you decided to book a couple of extra nights. Hartland has a lot to offer if you like walking in the countryside. The SW coastal path is only about 25 minutes walk away, Hartland Abbey about 10 minutes walk, and beautiful Hartland Quay about 3 miles away.
