  • 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.

What customers say

Top spot campsite with ripper sea views & coastal path access – a walker's dream! Folks rave about the friendly owners, ample space, and spotless loos. Peaceful vibes abound. Just be aware showers can be a trek from some spots & it gets blowy in exposed areas.

Craig S.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked Views

Disliked Very tight drive in.
The road surface in the park is awful.
The toilets and showers were not nice with lots of spiders.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Very sorry you didn't like it here. Just a few points...Country roads are generally narrower. The road surface in the park as you call it, are tracks. We are a rural working farm campsite. The fields are used as grazing fields for sheep in the Winter. Our cleanliness is excellent but spiders do tend to appear when Autumn approaches.
I suggest in future you seek out regimented holiday parks.

Great site with great staff. Will be back next year for my 6th visit!

Alan S.

Power optional grass tent site

Liked Huge pitches. Not too close to neighbours. Views. Site shop has re-opened after being closed for a couple of seasons. Great staff. Colin can’t do enough for you even though he promised he was retiring last year!

Disliked Gents showers could do with some modernisation and a bit longer with the push button water supply. I understand saving water but 6/7 seconds isn’t really long enough without having to hit the button again.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Alan, good to see you again. It was nice to have the shop open again after our various health issues. Hope to expand it next year too. Yes totally agree we need to alter the timers etc. Colin has semi retired. Our tenancy ended and our son, wife and daughters have moved in and taken over with our landlords son, so all change ! Colin will continue to help out and run the farm...got to keep out of mischief somehow...😂

Overall, it was one of the best holidays we have ever been on.

Amelia R.

Power optional grass tent site

Liked Colin and his wife were really welcoming and helpful. They went above and beyond to help us. Our tent had ripped due to the wind and they had lent us a caravan they had spare for the rest of our stay. It was very clean and very well looked after. The views were amazing and also the regulars were very helpful and kind. Highly recommend staying here. I’m sure my girlfriend and I will be returning at some point.

Disliked We honestly have nothing bad to say about our time staying here.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Ahhh, thank you girls. What a lovely review. Hope you got home ok and hope to see you both again one day.

Excellent site very clean and spacious facilities were perfect

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.
