  • Large level-grounded working farm site in the Devon countryside
  • A 10-minute drive from Roadford Lake; opposite a forest with trails
  • On-site farm shop selling fresh and local food; country pubs nearby
Your adventurous side may very well rear its head once you touch down at Evergreen Farm in the Devon countryside. This large level-grounded site is in a rural patch opposite a forest, 10 minutes’ drive from the watersports haven at Roadford Lake and 35 minutes from Bude’s beaches and Dartmoor National Park. Fancy like some fresh produce to start off your day? Well, you won’t need to stray far, as there’s a farm shop on site selling free-range eggs and locally produced meats. This is the place to get your hands on a hot brew and a savoury or sweet treat, as there’s a selection of pies, pasties, sausage rolls, cakes and hot food available daily – plus local ice cream, cream teas and cups of tea and coffee. Once you’ve got all that energy in your veins, it may seem natural that the large forest opposite the site is next on your to-do list. Packed with wildlife and plenty of opportunities for kids (or adults) to let off steam, there are trails for walking and cycling and places to mash together a den. When you’re looking to stock up on your supplies, there are gas bottles available on site and local shops within four miles of the site. Holsworthy, Okehampton and Trethorne Leisure Park are all under 25 minutes’ drive away from the site, so you’ll be well within reach of leisure centres and golf courses too. And when you’ve got more food on the brain, there are several traditional country pubs serving food within 10 minutes’ drive of the site.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Facilities were very good. Clean, spacious and warm. Lots of room on the field. Owner Pete was very friendly and welcoming, showed us round the facilities and told us there was no rush to leave in the am as not expecting anyone else in our pitch. Farm shop on site too was open although we didn’t get round to visiting.

Disliked: Location isn’t amazing but we used it as a stop on the way back from Cornwall. Not sure if there’s much around to do if you’re staying longer.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We absolutely loved our stay at Evergreen Farm. Peter was brilliant, so accommodating, text us before arrival to give us directions and nothing was too much for him! As no one was coming in when we were leaving we didn’t have to rush off of site which worked out perfectly. We used Evergreen Farm as a stop off for one night but we will definitely be returning! All facilities were well maintained and clean.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Emma & Peter were amazing hosts, Emma even helped with putting up our tent as it was our first time and we were anxious due to the rain. Lovely quiet campsite exactly what we was looking for. Nice warm showers and large washing up sink. Lots of quirky details felt like home. Lots of plans to add to the campsite which will only improve such a lovely place to stay. Thanks Emma and Peter for your hospitality xx

Disliked: The weather! 🙄

Local attractions

So, you’ve got a thing for the outdoors… if so, Roadford Lake (10 minutes’ drive) should make it onto your activities list, as there’s walking and cycling on the shores, and out on the lake you can try watersports from kayaking and canoeing to craft-making (fingers crossed it doesn’t sink). Of course, Dartmoor National Park (35 minutes) is all about being in wide open spaces. Naturally, that may mean getting a bit mucky… horse riding, cycling, climbing and canoeing are all on the go here. Those of you specifically wanting to barrel around on bikes will want to set off to Sourton (20 minutes) to get onto the Granite Way cycling trail (there’s bike hire, too, for those of you without your own). After all that activity, perhaps you’ll want to round off the day with a cream tea in the ancient stannary town of Tavistock (35 minutes). The sugar rush might revive your senses – and that’s OK too, as you’ll have all the more energy for the historic Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre (15 minutes), the large Ashbury Hotel Golf Courses (20 minutes) or Bude’s beaches (35 minutes).
