  • Small-scale family-run site with scenic Devon views
  • A 10-minute drive to Bigbury beach; 20 minutes to Salcombe
  • Pub and award-winning seafood restaurant within walking distance
You’ll have the seaside, the South West Coast Path and the whole of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at your disposal when you stay at Higher Easton Farm Campsite, a lovely little spot just outside Bigbury and about 15 minutes’ drive from Kingsbridge. This is a most handy location for exploring this stunning stretch of the Devon coastline: it’s a two-mile trip to Bigbury beach (for a surf school, kayak hire and instruction in the art of paddleboarding) and there are lots of other fine spots within a 20-minute drive, including Salcombe, Hope Cove and Bantham and Wonwell beaches. All of these are of course linked by the coast path for scenic hikes, and there are more trails half an hour’s drive away in Dartmoor. And the owners quite rightly note that it’s also a handy location for some great Devon eats: the award-winning Oyster Shack is a mile away, and there’s a great fish and chip shop on the seafront in Challaborough (two miles away). Closer to home, it’s a five-minute walk to the local pub or the well-stocked village store, where you can pick up picnic supplies or bits to go on your barbecue. As you’d imagine, there’s some fine scenery around here – and with far-reaching views from the site you can take in a fair amount without moving from your pitch. It’s worth staying awake past sunset too, as the stargazing tends to be pretty good on a clear night. Pitches at Higher Easton Farm are simple in style, but have access to showers and proper toilets.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Before arriving we had a text with clear instructions on what roads to take and what not to. On arrival we were met by Hazel with a friendly welcome chat, pointing out toilets and showers. Very simple but clean and perfectly adequate toilets and outdoor showers. A bit ‘wild west’ but showers were clean, warm and had enough space, light hooks and shelves. The view from the field would have been lovely had the weather been clearer but at least it wasn’t raining until we left. Plenty of space and park anywhere on the field. Hazel was so helpful with directions to the excellent Valley View cafe and farm shop where we had a nice cooked breakfast from excellent, friendly staff. Also visited the 13c Journey’s End pub nearby for excellent food and atmosphere. Kingsbridge worth a visit as is Salcombe. Again Hazel gave directions to avoid the many tight lanes.

Disliked: Nothing really. Bit exposed when windy but nothing more than to be expected.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and thank you for sharing your experiences of the Valley View cafe and farm shop and the 13c Journey’s End pub, I missed you when you left so it is lovely to read the food was excellent at both places. It was a pleasure to have you stay and to have a chat with you.

Best wishes for your future camping trips,

Hazel

Liked: A quiet campsite, with great views. No light pollution, so on a clear night we could see the Milky Way. Walking distance to local shop and pub. Friendly hosts.

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you enjoyed it here. We often look up at night and are amazed how many shooting stars we have seen over the years. We always recommend visitors bring a torch so that those who enjoy star gazing can do it with no light pollution.

All the best for your future camping trips,

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked: Very quiet and peaceful
Free to arrive and depart as suited us
Amazing views
Friendly owners
Basic but perfectly good toilets
Very basic showers, which we didn't try as it was raining and they were a bit draughty! (we only stayed one night, so not an issue, but don't expect luxury)
This is a working farm, which was lovely

From the manager: Hi Jo,

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: A delightful place to stay in and would highly recommend it for solo female travellers. Felt very safe.

The owners were so kind and welcoming. Very hospitable too. I also appreciated that they allowed you to take the space you needed for your tent, car etc.

A perfect location for star gazing, with stunning views, close to the beaches and great walks.

A very private and peaceful camp site - a home away from home.
I’m already looking forward to going back!

Disliked: Nothing at all.

Local attractions

If you’d like to dabble in some watersports, you’ve come to the right area – Bigbury (10 minutes’ drive) has a sheltered side and one with wilder waves so it’s a place where you can learn to surf or paddleboard your way across calmer waters. Rather stick to dry land? There’s a golf course in the village too. While you’re in Bigbury, take a trip over to Burgh Island, famed for its wildlife and its links to Agatha Christie. You can walk across the causeway at low tide, or take a ride on the sea tractor at other times. Elsewhere along the coast, make a stop in smart Salcombe (20 minutes) for a tour of Overbeck’s (National Trust) and a sip of the local gin, or venture to Dartmouth (35 minutes) to see its ancient castle and stroll around the harbour. For a family day out away from the beach, try Woodlands Family Theme Park (25 minutes), Dartmoor Zoo (half an hour) or the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth (40 minutes).
