  • Peaceful South Hams eco site overlooking the Kingsbridge estuary
  • A 15-minute drive to Salcombe, the South West Coast Path and Hope Cove
  • Kingsbridge’s shops, pubs and restaurants within walking distance
Sign in for sweet views over the Kingsbridge estuary – scenic vistas and farming landscapes are a given at Woodhouse Farm in Devon's South Hams. A 15-minute drive from Salcombe, the South West Coast Path and Hope Cove, this eco site is well-situated for ticking off coves, seaside towns and fishing villages, whether that’s through swims, kayaking or simply sinking down into your preferred sandy (or shingle) spot. Reached via the Old Salcombe Road in Kingsbridge, the site itself is part of a mixed farm passed down four generations. As you may expect, things are pretty peaceful here, so you’ll really be able to take in the views. On a hilltop overlooking the estuary, the scenery is pretty memorable too. Itching to head out once you’ve parked up? Kingsbridge is 15 minutes’ walk away from the site, and you should be able to track down all the essentials in this ancient market town, as it has plenty of shops, restaurants, cafés and splendid riverside pubs, plus an arts and yoga centre, history museum and a convenient ferry link to Salcombe. In Salcombe (15 minutes' drive), boating and crabbing activities are on the menu, as is a gin distillery. Other cool spots include Thurlestone Golf Club (15 minutes) and Totnes (half an hour), which has heritage sites, a vineyard and ferries to Kingswear for the Dartmouth steam railway. The site is mainly about getting cosy in the outdoors, but there is a nice range of simple facilities including the option of a hot shower in a cubicle or a cold outdoor shower, two eco toilets with sinks and a mains cold-water tap. Happily, dogs are welcome on the site too, so you’ll get to sit with your well-behaved canine companion by your feet.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (two person)

Liked: Absoloutely beautiful site. Outstanding views down the estuary.
The eco facilities were immaculately clean and cared for.
We enjoyed a camp fire every evening with the fire pit provided and free logs which was a real bonus!
The site is conveniently located just outside Kingsbridge but close enough to all sorts of amenities all within walking distance or a very short drive. Owners were friendly and helpful. We will definitely return again. An absolute gem!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (six person)

Liked: Quiet, beautiful place. with a wonderful view. The place is not too close to the town, but also not too far, you can go on foot. The area around is green, beautiful ground, ideal for pitching a tent. plenty of space, you can pitch wherever you want, there is peace and quiet there. the campsite has an ecological toilet, a shower with hot water. I will definitely come back there.

Local attractions

Up first, perhaps beaches? Thurlestone (15 minutes’ drive) is best known for its rockpool rummaging activities, gorgeous sandy beaches and watersports. Then there’s the fishing village of Hope Cove (15 minutes), which has two beaches of its own, each with safe swimming shallows (and art galleries waiting back on dry land). You may prefer to stick to the South West Coast Path (15 minutes), where walks can be as long as you wish. If it’s just a short and sweet stroll you fancy, the tropical gardens at the National Trust’s Overbeck’s (20 minutes) should hit the spot. Perhaps it’s Slapton Sands (20 minutes) that takes your liking, what with its scenic shingle beach and the Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve for more peaceful walks. You may choose to rest your feet at Bigbury beach (25 minutes) instead, where there are sea tractor rides to Burgh Island or kayaks and other water vessels available for rent. For theme park rides, a zoo farm and falconry centre to entertain the kids, head to Woodlands Family Theme Park (20 minutes).
