  • 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 Locations was great for where we wanted to be, and some great views to be had. Friendly welcome. Easy walk to the pub.

Facilities are best described as rustic, old ‘converted’ chicken sheds but we knew what we were heading to from reviews and photos on pitch up.

Disliked Toilets were a little lacking on the privacy side. someone had even poked loo roll between the cracks in the boards in one cubicle, so your experience was less sharing with your neighbouring pooper.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Taking the time for leaving a review. We are glad you found a lot to like. I will personally sit on each of our 5 loos and try and see what you mean about the cracks because I have checked and there is no toilet paper stuffed anywhere!

Best wishes for the rest of your summer.

Hazel

Berenice H.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked largely flat field, mowed along the edges for camping. plenty of toilets and space to do your washing up. But let's talk showers. The showers (once you remember where they are hidden between a building and the cow barn) are fantastic, if...tin hut roofed. Hot, decent water pressure, plenty of hooks for both the clothes you have on and the clean ones to change into, plus shelves to put things. These showers are better than the next campsite I stayed which had posh showers but only one hook. And even better, you can pick blackberries while you shower, and enjoy listening to the lowing of the cows.

relatively easy walk (quietish country road, no pavement) down to Bigbury and the beach.

Liked The hosts, the relaxed site, the space....This is the kind of site i like; a working farm, a big flat field, basic but good and sufficient facilities, welcoming hosts, quick and clear communication, a pub 10 mins walk down the road, a beach 10 mins drive down the road (and i suppose another 15 min walk from the car park driven to), big sky, peace and quiet.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are delighted you had an enjoyable stay. Aymer Cove is a lovely beach and worth the walk, it's usually fairly quiet as well. If you want to hop out of your can and onto the beach Bigbury beach is 5 minutes down the road, we are spoilt for choice.

Best wishes

Hazel

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).
