  • Small, quiet and dog-friendly site on a Devon family dairy farm
  • Bideford, Clovelly and Milky Way Adventure Park within 15 mins' drive
  • Flat and spacious pitches sheltered by mature hedgerow
All the essentials have been sorted for guests staying at Stroxworthy Farm Campsite – pitches at this Devon family farm site are flat, spacious and south-facing to make the most of the day’s sun. They’re also surrounded by a mature hedgerow, so there’s plenty of shelter if the weather doesn’t feature so much sun… Facilities have been similarly well done – guests at this small site have access to two toilets, one shower, one kitchen sink for washing-up and a small shed for recycling and rubbish disposal. Facilities may get busy at peak times of the year, so you're welcome to bring your own toilet and washing facilities. You’re also welcome to bring dogs along as long as they’re kept on a lead on site (there are plenty of places to take them out for a walk nearby on footpaths or through the forest). Life here is all about enjoying some rural time – the site has spectacular views over the Devon landscape (reaching as far as Dartmoor on a clear day) and dark skies for some excellent stargazing on clear nights. As it’s a working farm your neighbours will be the herd of predominantly Friesian and Brown Swiss cows that live on site (they’re milked by the sixth generation of the same family to farm here). Hiding away here down a little private lane you’ll feel like you’re well away from all civilisation, but in fact the village of Woolfardisworthy is five minutes’ drive away (for an excellent village shop, pub and dairy selling fresh milk) and the A39 Atlantic Highway is three miles away to take you off to adventures elsewhere along the north Devon coast.

Liked: A warm welcome from the owner of the site, giving great local information and her business card in case we needed anything during our stay, nothing was too much trouble. Basic facilities but exceptionally clean and well maintained. We only stayed for one night but could've been longer, we'll definitely be back to this peaceful little site.

Route directions

The site does not recommend that guests towing caravans follow a Satnav. Their instructions take you through some narrow country lanes. Instead, they recommend travelling to the campsite via the village of Woolsery (Woolfardisworthy) by leaving the A39 at Bucks Cross and following the road into the village. You can also reach the site from the direction of Stibb Cross by passing through Powlers Peice with no difficulties.
