  • Grass pitches at a north Devon campsite facing the Atlantic coast
  • Five minutes’ drive to Hartland Abbey, and 15 minutes to Clovelly
  • Information point and direct access to South West Coast Path
The folk who own Stoke Barton Farm Campsite know a thing or two about the area – they’ve farmed around this part of north Devon for generations and specifically at Stoke Barton for over 40 years. It’s also fair to say they know a thing or two about splendid family-friendly breaks – that’s what you get when you set down on these grass pitches facing the Atlantic coast. There are coastal views across the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to kickstart the holiday vibes. The information shed – which is kitted out with kettles, microwaves, a freezer and power points – is a handy source of useful knowledge as well as tending to your tummy, and only down the lane by the farmhouse. For all your food and drink needs you can go to the pubs at Hartland – five minutes’ drive or a half-hour walk. A local shop is also nearby and deliveries can be arranged. Since Stoke Barton Farm Campsite is on a working livestock and arable farm, you’ll see sheep grazing in fields neighbouring the pitches. There are 12 acres across the site in total, including plenty of space between pitches so you’ll never feel crowded. It’s wonderfully family friendly too, with facilities that include a football pitch where kids can let off steam, charging for devices (that’ll keep the teens quiet) and a launderette to keep everyone looking their best.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Sarah and Brendan were very welcoming which was lovely. We stayed on a non-electric grass pitch and had a view over the sea and a brilliant sunset. It was a really beautiful and quiet spot!

Lots of space on the pitches, and the facilities were good too.

Would definitely stay here again if we are in North Devon!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your great review. We have been very lucky with the weather this Easter and people have been able to enjoy the area and the sunsets...I remember last Easter being far too wet to even get on site and we couldn't open at all. It's been a lovely few days with far too much chocolate !!!

Best site I have been to so far. Dog friendly, fire friendly.

Caitlan C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: We LOVED how welcoming the staff were! We were not only greeted and driven to our pitch but, we were also warned about the weather, what were the must sees on our trip, recommended on different cafes and shops. They made our stormy stay incredibly welcoming and easy! I also loved the extra facilities ie: showers, wash room, radios and reception.

From the manager: Thank you Caitlin, what a lovely review and thank you for the photos. Hopefully we will see you again at some point. We will have our own little shop open from Mid May which we will probably fill with all sorts of unhealthy goodies...haha

Lovely peaceful stay, would come again

Andrew S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Quiet picturesque location with easy access to the South West Coastal Path. The farm was beautiful with a great welcome from the owner/manager. As it was out of the main season we were given free choice of the available spaces and chose an empty field near to the main house. The toilets and amenities were extremely clean and well provided for, with a common room provided for socialising and with access to a kettle and microwave.

Disliked: The roads on approach to the site are very narrow with occasional passing places so it may be difficult for large or towing vehicles to access, and certainly not for nervous drivers or those who don't like reversing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review Andrew, much appreciated. I am definitely one of those who hates reversing...haha

Would recommend for path walkers location is not too far ftom the path

Local attractions

How to begin your break in north Devon? With a long jaunt across the South West Coast Path, which can be accessed directly from site? More clifftop walks around Hartland Quay (five minutes’ drive), followed by a tasty pub meal? Clovelly (15 minutes) is another splendid seaside scene with cobbled slopes and a row of small fishing boats. To investigate more of the coast, you might want to check out Bude (half an hour) and its many surfing beaches. There’s more surf at Welcombe Mouth (20 minutes), along with a waterfall to seek out. Speke’s Mill Mouth Waterfall (five minutes) is another waterfall closer by, and with a nearly 50-metre drop, it’s bound to be pretty impressive. What of some particularly peaceful places, then? St Nectan Church (five minutes’ walk), named the Cathedral of North Devon, is one. Hartland Abbey (five minutes’ drive) or The Gnome Reserve and Wildflower Garden (20 minutes) are others. To get to wildlife-packed Lundy Island, visit Bideford Quay (half an hour). If it’s kid-friendly attractions and farm animals you’re after, The BIG Sheep (25 minutes) has all of that.
