  • Dog-friendly pop-up site on a Devon farm close to the Cornwall border
  • A 25-minute drive from Bude; 40 minutes from Dartmoor National Park
  • Wood for sale on site for firepits; barbecues permitted; pubs nearby
Cosy down at Tinnacre Tents… part of Lower Tinacre Farm in the rural southwest, this pop-up site is a peaceful patch in the Devon countryside just outside of Holsworthy. Close to the border, you may crack open both the Devon and Cornwall coast, as Bude’s beaches are 25 minutes’ drive away and the Hartland Cornwall Heritage Coast 35 minutes’ drive away. An hour from the M5 and with the scenic Dartmoor National Park 40 minutes’ drive away, you’ll also be well-connected to other destinations (or your route back home). No matter how far or wide you travel or how action-packed or relaxed a break you have in mind, there’s always a peaceful base to return to. And it’s certainly easy to unwind here, as wood can be purchased on site to get a firepit going in the evening, and barbecues are permitted too. Just make sure to rustle up an extra sausage (or two) if you’ve brought your dog along – they’re welcome on site on a lead. This is a simple site on a traditional working sheep farm, so facilities are kept to the essentials and include toilets and an Elsan point. You won’t have too far to look for essentials from here either, as the historic market town Holsworthy’s shops, pubs and takeaways are five minutes' drive away for day-to-day needs. There are dozens more scenic villages in the area too, both coastal and countryside, where you may want to hunt down more country pubs and locals’ haunts.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Absolutely everything!! As always Anthony and his family welcomed us back to their little slice of heaven and gave us the chance to fully relax and de stress. We really cannot rate the site and Anthony highly enough!!! Anthony checks in on you every morning to see if you need anything and also comes round again in the evenings. The evening visit for us was our son and Anthony playing tennis! We will be back again next year!!!

Disliked: Nothing!!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Antony is a lovely host and really goes above and beyond to satisfy his guests, he's very kind allowing an extension plug for all our charging of devices (to keep the kids happy of an evening) Antony has man-made a play park for the kids made with wood and rope, the kids loved it, you can rent a fire pit that Antony has made which is robust and better than any shop bought firepit. His location is the greatest being on the edge of holsworthy, so only a short car journey to bude summerleaze which is the location of the famous sea pool. Everyday without fail Anthony does his rounds taking his time to go to each guest's pitch to get to know them that little bit more and to give advice on locations to visit. We cannot fault anything, Antony makes sure everyone is enjoying there stay! The shower block is an awesome little area that Antony again has done all himself. It's great. Washing up facilities are there with a washing up bowl to do all your camping cooking equipment. There is also an out side well/tap that is drinking water, we filled 6 bottles everyday and it was a life saver.. Very enjoyable stay, and we would definitely be returning, as there is lots more of Cornwall border around the west coast that we simply couldn't fit in as we was only on our holiday stay for 1 week! Beautiful place...
