  • Peaceful site on a smallholding five miles from Bideford
  • Wakeboarding park, surf lessons and amusement parks a short drive away
  • Alpacas, goats and horses to meet on site
Park yourself here for easy access to smashing Devon beaches, the South West Coast Path and the Tarka Trail cycle path, plus watersports lessons and kid-friendly visitor attractions such as The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Atlantis Adventure Park and Quince Honey Farm. Set within a properly peaceful smallholding, Broad Park Camping and Glamping is a warm and friendly park five miles west of the handsome and historic harbour town of Bideford, where there are independent shops, restaurants serving up local produce, and a pretty riverside quay. While the site lies a handy mile or so off of the A39, it's quiet around this splendid spot. Amenities are well thought out: there's a kitchenette with a microwave, a kettle, a toaster, a fridge and a freezer, in a room with cards, board games and tourist info leaflets. Milk, fizzy drinks, bottled water, chocolate and locally made luxury ice creams can all be bought at the site's small honesty shop. Foodwise, if you want to grill up a gourmet feast, barbecues are allowed; fire baskets are also available for hire, and kindling and logs are available to buy on site for toasty campfires under the north Devon night sky. Friendly dogs are welcome here at Broad Park but must be kept on a lead at all times; for a list of all the dog-friendly beaches nearby, just ask your cordial hosts, who'll be more than happy to oblige.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: The site is located in a lovely setting very peaceful , our pitch was great for our motorhome with electric hook up, the toilets and showers were cleaned daily the amenities building was adequately equipped with fridges microwave etc for campers. We went some lovely walks in the area, we spoke with the owners Nikki and Mat who where very nice and friendly.

Disliked: As we travelled there in our motorhome, the main road A39 is a mile from the site which we walked to hoping to catch a bus unfortunately they don't run Sundays, The taxi service is a little on the high side.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: The site was beautiful. Level pitches, clean facilities, stunning surroundings. Close to lots of pretty villages and the coast. Animals on site, including alpacas which are my favourite!

Disliked: The alpacas didn't come close enough to us! The goats tried to eat my coat. The hills are very steep, even on an electric bike! In all seriousness, I can't actually fault the site at all.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: This camp was awesome! Beautiful farm with exceptionally flat, level gravel pitch area. Clean and fresh shower and toilet areas, love that the shower is an individual stall on its own and not a big shared room. Great communication with the lovely host, and we got to see alpacas! The farm animals are close by and fun entertainment.

Disliked: Nothing! We will 100% be back!

Local attractions

Be sure to bring your buckets, spades and beach towels, because you're going to be getting a lot of beach action with a stay here: just outside the Hartland Heritage Coast, the site gives you very easy access to miles of spectacular coastline and award-winning beaches – a short drive will bring you to the sands and sea of Clovelly, Westward Ho!, Appledore, Hartland and Saunton Sands. Also nearby is North Devon Wake Park, where you can get wakeboarding lessons and bounce, slip, slide and clamber on the aqua park’s trampolines, slides, logs, running mats and climbing frames. Surfing lessons can also be had over at Westward Ho! nearby. There’s a wealth of fun places to take little bloomers to within easy reach too: The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Atlantis Adventure Park and the buzztastic Quince Honey Farm, where you can investigate the lives of bees through interactive exhibits housing more than 20 colonies using bee cams and looking glasses. If you’re into long walks along scenic coastline, Broad Park Camping and Glamping is near the South West Coast Path, or if you're more of a pedally person the Tarka Trail is nearby too; bikes are available to rent locally if you don't bring your own.
