Peaceful site in a private home’s grounds 15 mins’ walk from Braunton
A five-minute drive from Saunton Sands beach and 10 from Croyde
Well-equipped guest kitchen and lounge area plus a communal firepit

Seek space at Secret Spot Camping, a site on open north Devon farmland 15 minutes’ walk from the pubs and shops of Braunton and five minutes’ drive from Saunton Sands beach. Pitches here form part of the grounds of a family home – guests are welcome to wander about and admire the gardens (a lot of effort goes into tending them, as you’ll see from the pics). Clubs and groups are welcome but be aware that the vibe here is very much peaceful rather than party. Facilities on site are centred around the convivial campers’ shelter, a hub full of handy things including a kitchen (with a fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle and toaster), comfy sofas, sockets for charging gadgets, and a wifi connection. If it’s a fine day, there’s also plenty of outdoor seating scattered around the place and a communal firepit area for campfire chats. Barbecues are welcome too, as long as they’re kept on the bricks provided. With several famed beaches nearby (not just Saunton Sands but also Croyde, 10 minutes’ drive away, and Putsborough within 15 minutes) this is a tiptop location for surfers as well as those who want to chill out; the site owners also manage a surf shop in Croyde, so folk who don’t have their own kit might want to hire or buy down there (with a little discount to aid proceedings).

Ellen R. May 2024

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Small and well kept campsite. Lovely flat field in beautiful surroundings. Complete with communal kitchen and for our area for a real community feel.

Disliked: Really splitting hairs but some play space for kids and accessible water pipe that could be connected to the van.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Love this site. Its obvious that the owners have really tried to think of everything to make camping easy. Lots of cool, thoughtful touches everywhere, and the campers shelter takes the pain out of any bad weather, with sheltered spots to sit in the gardens if its windy, or if you want to use the fire pit. Flat pitches, good facilities and a great location.

Local attractions

For a break from the waves, have a think about walks on the South West Coast Path (within five minutes’ drive) or bike rides on the Tarka Trail (15 minutes away). Wanders are also to be had around the Braunton Burrows sand dunes, the largest system of its kind in England and around 10 minutes' drive from the park. Tour tunnels instead at Ilfracombe – there’s a network of four carved out of the cliffside by locals back in the 1820s – followed by seawater swims in the nearby tidal pool. This seaside settlement 15 minutes’ drive from Secret Spot Camping also has an aquarium to amble around and is a gateway for wildlife-spotting boat trips. Kids keen to gaze at yet more animals? Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (25 minutes' drive) is the place to go for meets and greets with meerkats and sea lions as well as animatronic prehistoric creatures.
