  • Devon farm site within minutes of several beaches
  • A mile from the River Dart, two from Paignton and three from Totnes
  • Peaceful setting on 400 acres with 15 acres of apple orchards
What might you say to camping on a Devon farm only a couple of miles away from the beach, minutes from Paignton and Totnes, with views that might make you crumble? What about a site that produces its own scrumpy cider from 15 acres of on-site apple orchards among its 400 acres? Like the many returning guests of Broadleigh Farm Park, you might say it’s pretty sweet. If driving makes you crabby, the nine acres of Broadleigh Farm Park are where to base yourself to see the sights of Devon: Paignton and Totnes are two and three miles away respectively; supplies – and pubs – in the village of Stoke Gabriel about 15 minutes’ walk, and the activities and sights of Dartmoor within around half an hour’s drive. Miles of walks are available straight from the site, and for little pipsqueaks, Pennywell Farm and Paignton Zoo are both within (short) driving distance. Facilities including showers, toilets, launderette and washing-up area are kept in apple-pie order: you’ll find free hairdryers too and there are disabled facilities and a parent and baby washroom. Broadleigh is a working farm, so while dogs are welcome, please keep them on leads while on site or unless in the separate dog-walking field.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Location was close enough to walk/bus into Totnes though only in good weather. Spacious site with ample room in September and lovely birdsong. Good showers if you could avoid the dirt or worse on the floor.

Disliked: Facilities were very dirty and not just mud as users didnt clean up and there were no staff seen all weekend not even on arrival at 5pm on a friday. Pitches very muddy. Single water point only accessible between other parked up vehicles so felt awkward filling up and disturbing others. Had to pay for wifi which was poor quality. Wouldn't return unless improved.

A lot to do and see in the surrounding area.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Good toilet/shower block with nice showers and kept clean. Electric, car parking and awning included in the price. 16 amp electric is useful as we use an 1800 Watt (8 amp) kettle and so avoid 6 amp restricted sites. The site is located in a good area with a lot to do within 10 miles even on wet days. The site was quiet during our stay which suits us.

Disliked: Most pitches are on a bit of a slope which complicates setting up, and I could not find any drain to dispose of grey water. The approach road in is very narrow (a car and a bicycle could not pass in places) and is quite busy. Do not come to this site if you cannot reverse into a passing place towing a caravan! I met a Lorry and three cars on my way there and had a car and a tractor/trailer behind me. It took about 20 minutes to cover the last 1/4 mile.The reception was unmanned the entire duration of our stay (7 nights), OK as it turned out, but it would not have been if there were any problems. Did not use the WiFi (or even know if there was any).

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Clean and modern shower/ toilet block. Plenty of space on our pitch as the pitches either side were empty being out of high season.

Disliked: Website info about the shop was out of date as it was only open 9-12. Not a major issue for us but it would be a good idea to update this if there are different times out of high season. Not a dislike but just to clarify there is not a bar on site but there are occasional events (once a month) at the cider place.

Local attractions

The Devon village of Stoke Gabriel is about a mile from the site and has a supermarket, pubs, a shop, a post office and gentle riverside ambles along the Dart to ancient village streets or the old apple orchard. Pick up some crabbing gear and head for the Stoke Gabriel quay to catch a few specimens; this is a well-known crabbing area and just the spot to teach the kids how to master the art. If boats are your bag, hire a vessel to sail up the river to Totnes or catch the ferry downstream to Dittisham, opposite Agatha Christie’s old home and inspiration at the Greenway Estate – no need to keep your eyes peeled for somewhat spectacular river views. From here you can go on to Dartmouth, where the river releases to the sea, and stop off for an afternoon’s shopping or to see Dartmouth Castle, one of a pair of forts protecting the mouth of the Dart Estuary and part of a harbour cruise from Dartmouth to Kingswear. Safe and spotless beaches abound within a few minutes’ drive of Broadleigh, from the award-winning sands of Goodrington, the closest beach to the site, to nearby Brixham and Torquay among other family-friendly sandy fare. If the weather’s a little damp, Goodrington’s Seashore Centre has free admission and info on the history of the 22-mile stretch of the English Riviera. Broadleigh lies roughly halfway between Plymouth and Exeter, both within about 40 minutes’ drive.
