  • Dog-friendly Devon site near Loddiswell and Middle Avon Valley
  • A 20-minute drive from several beaches and half an hour from Totnes
  • Walks accessible from the site and cafés nearby
It’s beaches and walks galore from Cottage Farm Camping just outside the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. On the edge of Loddiswell, this easily accessible site is 20 minutes’ drive away from a reel of beaches, including Bigbury on Sea, South Milton Sands, Hope Cove and Mothecombe. There are a fair few golf courses and National Trust properties in the local area. Plus, with Kingsbridge 10 minutes’ drive away and Plymouth 40 minutes’ drive away, town life isn’t too far either – a great situation for things like restaurants, cafés, shopping and the likes (not forgetting seafood in Salcombe, 20 minutes’ drive away). Those of you who are fans of walking will have a good run of Dartmoor National Park’s moors, 20 minutes’ drive away, or the splendid walks along the river Avon that are accessible on foot from the site and run through the AONB. There are a number of local cafés which have stunning views of the surrounding countryside too. The site itself has large and level-grounded pitches with plenty of space for groups or for dogs (on leads) to sit with you. The facilities at your disposal include compost toilets, an LPG gas shower available for an additional cost and a washing-up station.

What customers say

Lovely spot, run by Rob who's a top bloke. Pistes are ace, some with privacy. Basic but clean loos & hot showers, great value. Good base for exploring. A bit of road noise and one mention of grass clippings after rain. Highly recommend for a chill break.

Nicola D.

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked Clean facilities, very friendly owners who were happy to share knowledge of the local area. Plenty of room for playing games, they do have a small football pitch but others wise no specific activities, but we knew that when booking and we always bring our own. Plenty of space in the field. Very quiet when we stayed which was nice. Roaming chickens and owners cats that were very friendly and curious and spent a lot of time around our van which our son enjoyed.
Close to local beaches.. we went to 3 and woodlands family theme park

Disliked NA

Liked We stayed at Cottage Farm Camping from the 25th - 27th of July. Our stay was very enjoyable, lots to do nearby. There were lovely beaches that the owner Rob recommended to us. We had a great time at the campsite, everything was clean and well maintained and Rob was happy to help us with anything we needed. Also great that we could have our dog there and walk her around the fields. Thanks Rob for a great stay.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked My little boy liked the fact there was a football goal there so could play some football. The toilets were clean.

Disliked The area for camping. The grass had just been cut, but without collecting the cuttings, so after the rain and when wet, the cuttings did tend to stick to stuff.
