  • Peaceful site on a smallholding five miles from Bideford
  • Wakeboarding park, surf lessons and amusement parks a short drive away
  • Alpacas, goats and horses to meet on site
Park yourself here for easy access to smashing Devon beaches, the South West Coast Path and the Tarka Trail cycle path, plus watersports lessons and kid-friendly visitor attractions such as The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Atlantis Adventure Park and Quince Honey Farm. Set within a properly peaceful smallholding, Broad Park Camping and Glamping is a warm and friendly park five miles west of the handsome and historic harbour town of Bideford, where there are independent shops, restaurants serving up local produce, and a pretty riverside quay. While the site lies a handy mile or so off of the A39, it's quiet around this splendid spot. Amenities are well thought out: there's a kitchenette with a microwave, a kettle, a toaster, a fridge and a freezer, in a room with cards, board games and tourist info leaflets. Milk, fizzy drinks, bottled water, chocolate and locally made luxury ice creams can all be bought at the site's small honesty shop. Foodwise, if you want to grill up a gourmet feast, barbecues are allowed; fire baskets are also available for hire, and kindling and logs are available to buy on site for toasty campfires under the north Devon night sky. Friendly dogs are welcome here at Broad Park but must be kept on a lead at all times; for a list of all the dog-friendly beaches nearby, just ask your cordial hosts, who'll be more than happy to oblige.

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: We liked everything about this site. Very clean, great facilities, pleasant surroundings. The weather for the time of year was great. Having a Picnic bench on the pitch was fantastic, I like to cook outside so this was perfect for the stove. We were on a hard standing due to time of year, it was level, just drive on no messing about, so that was brilliant.

From the manager: Thanks so much for the lovely review, it’s really appreciated. Really glad you enjoyed you stay. 💖

Liked: Great site. Clean toilets and showers and we loved the layout of facilities. Great hard standing pitch which kept our van clean. Very close to lots of activities and we were very impressed with Bideford. Lots to see and do. We’ll definitely be back to see more in warmer weather.

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Lovely quiet, small site with animals. The hosts were excellent and quick to reply to any communication. Amenities room has; sink, toaster, microwave, kettle, freezer, table and chairs. Also a small honesty shop. Toilets were clean and tidy (can't comment on shower as did not use). Easy to find and grounds are clean and tidy.

Disliked: Not so much a dislike maybe more an opinion, as much as I would return with my partner, I probably wouldn't camp here with my children due to there being very little for them to do.

From the manager: Thanks so much for the lovely review, it’s really appreciated. To can completely understand your opinion on not much to do here for children but we get so many families come to stay and the kids love it here, they love the goats and being a small site they all make friends. 💖

Power optional gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: What a great site, we stayed for 4 nights. Nikki & Matt have worked really hard to provide everything needed, so much information about the local area, places to walk, cycle, shops etc. Very flat pitch, we didn't need any levellers. Heater in the shower rooms if needed, clean toilets etc. Amenities room provides the folder for all the info, plus washing up, fridge (honesty box) microwave.
Affinity retail park, 3 miles away provides shopping if needed (Aldi), Westward Ho! - very large beach area and small pretty town/village (Tesco local).
Great site - we will return - thank you Nikki - see you another time V&A

Local attractions

Be sure to bring your buckets, spades and beach towels, because you're going to be getting a lot of beach action with a stay here: just outside the Hartland Heritage Coast, the site gives you very easy access to miles of spectacular coastline and award-winning beaches – a short drive will bring you to the sands and sea of Clovelly, Westward Ho!, Appledore, Hartland and Saunton Sands. Also nearby is North Devon Wake Park, where you can get wakeboarding lessons and bounce, slip, slide and clamber on the aqua park’s trampolines, slides, logs, running mats and climbing frames. Surfing lessons can also be had over at Westward Ho! nearby. There’s a wealth of fun places to take little bloomers to within easy reach too: The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Atlantis Adventure Park and the buzztastic Quince Honey Farm, where you can investigate the lives of bees through interactive exhibits housing more than 20 colonies using bee cams and looking glasses. If you’re into long walks along scenic coastline, Broad Park Camping and Glamping is near the South West Coast Path, or if you're more of a pedally person the Tarka Trail is nearby too; bikes are available to rent locally if you don't bring your own.
