  • Large level-grounded working farm site in the Devon countryside
  • A 10-minute drive from Roadford Lake; opposite a forest with trails
  • On-site farm shop selling fresh and local food; country pubs nearby
Your adventurous side may very well rear its head once you touch down at Evergreen Farm in the Devon countryside. This large level-grounded site is in a rural patch opposite a forest, 10 minutes’ drive from the watersports haven at Roadford Lake and 35 minutes from Bude’s beaches and Dartmoor National Park. Fancy like some fresh produce to start off your day? Well, you won’t need to stray far, as there’s a farm shop on site selling free-range eggs and locally produced meats. This is the place to get your hands on a hot brew and a savoury or sweet treat, as there’s a selection of pies, pasties, sausage rolls, cakes and hot food available daily – plus local ice cream, cream teas and cups of tea and coffee. Once you’ve got all that energy in your veins, it may seem natural that the large forest opposite the site is next on your to-do list. Packed with wildlife and plenty of opportunities for kids (or adults) to let off steam, there are trails for walking and cycling and places to mash together a den. When you’re looking to stock up on your supplies, there are gas bottles available on site and local shops within four miles of the site. Holsworthy, Okehampton and Trethorne Leisure Park are all under 25 minutes’ drive away from the site, so you’ll be well within reach of leisure centres and golf courses too. And when you’ve got more food on the brain, there are several traditional country pubs serving food within 10 minutes’ drive of the site.

Michelle C.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked A lovely welcoming campsite. We stayed as we had an event at the Watersports Centre so it was very close proximity to Roadford Lake. Loved the pitch we had, it was like a little paddock so our dog was able to have a great time running off lead! Really made it easy for us. Fab location, clean facilities, amazing sunset, friendly host.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. If I had to pass comment I would just say that it would be nice to have a couple of private wash basin/vanity cubicles as the facilities are unisex.

Lovely site with clean facilities, friendly staff

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked The owners were very friendly and quickly resolved an initial issue to had with the on pitch water tap being the wrong size for a standard connector.
We loved the informal feel to the site.
Booked last minute and quick communication re instructions for getting there and where to pitch.

Disliked Our only criticism would be the chemical toilet emptying set up although I believe there are plans to update this.
The owner did say to ring him if we had any difficulties reaching the emptying point. My husband took the caravan steps to help him. (He is a short a**e)

Fantastic cheap stays with excellent owners

Liked This campsite is absolutely gorgeous. Very well kept, secure, has everything you need whilst camping and ridiculously clean.

We stayed for 3 nights and we wish we had stayed longer!

The pitches are a good size and spaced out, and getting around site is easy. The site isn't massive which adds to the charm as the amenities are never too busy. The grounds are gorgeous, all the plants and trees are so pretty and you can tell a lot of effort has been paid to keep these maintained.

When we visited the bar was open and there was even a Chinese food van on the Friday which was a really nice touch.

We took our two dogs and they loved the secure dog play area where we could let them off their leads, there is also a place to wash them after a day on the beach!

One thing that was noted was how 'on hands' the owners are, you see them making sure everything is spotless, gardening, keeping the grass trimmed and looking good after a camper has left. All this without over looking you all the time. They also bothered to talk to anyone who fancied a chat and were so helpful if you needed anything.

Can't rate this campsite enough and we will be back!

Disliked Nothing :)

Liked Lovely welcome, a wonderful farm shop. Facilities were good. Loved the fact that you can borrow footballs and badminton equipment. We also got to watch a pony riding practice session behind us and everyone was so friendly. I would come back again.

Disliked Wasn’t a problem but think it could be a little cramped if full but it wasn’t when we were there so very happy

Nice levelled field, kind owners, nice farmshop and good bathroom facilities and…

Local attractions

So, you’ve got a thing for the outdoors… if so, Roadford Lake (10 minutes’ drive) should make it onto your activities list, as there’s walking and cycling on the shores, and out on the lake you can try watersports from kayaking and canoeing to craft-making (fingers crossed it doesn’t sink). Of course, Dartmoor National Park (35 minutes) is all about being in wide open spaces. Naturally, that may mean getting a bit mucky… horse riding, cycling, climbing and canoeing are all on the go here. Those of you specifically wanting to barrel around on bikes will want to set off to Sourton (20 minutes) to get onto the Granite Way cycling trail (there’s bike hire, too, for those of you without your own). After all that activity, perhaps you’ll want to round off the day with a cream tea in the ancient stannary town of Tavistock (35 minutes). The sugar rush might revive your senses – and that’s OK too, as you’ll have all the more energy for the historic Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre (15 minutes), the large Ashbury Hotel Golf Courses (20 minutes) or Bude’s beaches (35 minutes).
