  • Small, well-kept caravan site accessible from the A35 in East Devon
  • Charmouth Beach 20 minutes’ drive; Diggerland Devon 35 minutes
  • All-day café and farm shop on site; Honiton pubs five minutes’ drive
Looking for an easy place to park up the caravan for the night, or wanting to hunker down for a few days and get to know Devon’s Jurassic Coast beaches or Blackdown Hills hiking trails? Either way, The Grazing Cow will work well for you. Five minutes’ drive from Honiton’s antique shops and pubs in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this caravan site has just a handful of easy-to-access hardstanding pitches directly off the A35. On a sheltered and level paddock, each pitch has an electric hook-up, a water supply and views over peaceful farm fields, often full of grazing cows. Toilets and showers are a couple of minutes’ walk away. You’ll find them adjacent to the popular on-site café, which serves traditional all-day English breakfasts and yummy afternoon teas until 4pm daily. In the same complex is a farm shop well stocked with local goodies, so you’ll certainly never go hungry.

Disliked: nothing

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Great little site behind a lovely farmshop and cafe. Friendly staff in both.
Clean and tidy electric touring pitches on a small site. We stayed early in the season so had the place to ourselves, but even fully booked this campsite would be peaceful.
Would highly recommend the breakfast in the cafe, and bits n bobs from the farmshop.

Disliked: The one wet room for the campsite didn’t cause us any issues being the only campers. But I imagine when fully booked this would become too busy for comfort.

Claire B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Very friendly and helpful, organised owners - great farm shop and very busy cafe too
The pitches were mostly level too so no adjustment needed.
The site is off the main road but the noise died down and it was surprisingly quiet
A strong torch is needed as the walk back to the wet room/toilet at the back of the cafe is very dark
They have just had the drive & car park resurfaced and there are plans to build a more substantial toilet block - we hope to return again

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Quiet site with basic but nice facilities.
Staff were very helpful with the booking and late arrival.
Fantastic cafe adjacent to site serving excellent food. We had breakfast on Sunday morning. Gets very busy so be aware and book if possible.

Disliked: Nothing that we weren’t aware of.
Could do with a bit of lighting between pitches and toilet/shower. Bring a bright torch.
A hook for hanging things up on back of toilet/shower door would be helpful.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Nice and quiet
Lovely cafe
Well stocked shop
Large pitch easy to manoeuvre around
Really nice stay

Disliked: Looking at bit like it under development's ,which is promising with good potential.great space.
The only downside is that the shower room could do with having a couple of hooks up to hang clothes,
Maybe that’s why there’s a cupboard but it was full of cleaning stuff, so was not clear who it was for.
Also needs more signs in the drains area and lightings would help when walking up to the toilet
Also you say free Wi-Fi but no information given shouldn’t have to ask

Local attractions

On holiday with the kids? Number-one stop will probably be The Donkey Sanctuary for cuddles with the rescued donkeys and mules, while animal-mad kids can play zookeepers for the day at Axe Valley Wildlife Park (both 15 minutes’ drive). Diggerland Devon (35 minutes) will keep everyone happily occupied driving tractors and racing go-karts, and there are rollercoasters and water rides for all ages and levels of bravery at Crealy Theme Park and Resort (half an hour). If you’re after a day of R&R at the beach, there are several Jurassic Coast options close by. Make for Charmouth (20 minutes) to go foraging for fossils, and if you have dogs with you, the long stretch of shingle at Budleigh Salterton (35 minutes) is dog-friendly all year round. Keep active by hiring kayaks or paddleboards at Sidmouth Beach (25 minutes) to view dramatic white cliffs from the sea, or stroll a short section of the South West Coast Path from Seaton Beach (25 minutes) to the cutesy seaside village of Beer (half an hour’s walk), with more than its fair share of art galleries and a pretty fishing harbour.
