  • Peaceful site near Combe Martin, with views over the coast
  • A 15-minute drive from Ilfracombe and Exmoor Zoo
  • On the edge of Exmoor National Park and a mile from the coast path
What an enviable Exmoor location this is for a Devon camping holiday: Silver View Camping is just on the edge of the national park and around five minutes’ drive from the beach at Combe Martin. Pitches, covering two fields, have fine views over the valley and out to sea; on a clear day you’ll get glimpses of Lundy island (which you can also visit on boat trips from Ilfracombe, 15 minutes’ drive away). The setup is all very eco-friendly and relaxed: think of it as being a bit like wild camping but with the added luxury of access to drinking water, compost and flushing toilets, showers and a rubbish/recycling point. Campfires are generally allowed too for that true outdoor evening experience – the team here just ask that you consult with them first if planning a campfire or firepit, and pay attention to safety (raising your firepit off the ground and making sure all the flames are fully extinguished before you leave it). Please buy all of your wood on site. This is a handily located site for all sorts of days out – it’s about a mile from here to the South West Coast Path, and only a tiny bit further to kayak and paddleboard hire at Combe Martin beach (truly the way to explore, say the owners – and you might meet seals or dolphins along the way). There are plenty more walks and activities to be had around Exmoor National Park too, and plenty of ways to keep the kids amused with trips to Exmoor Zoo and the Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park.

Peaceful spot with stunning views & a relaxed vibe. Clean, basic facilities (showers, flush toilets) in unique horse boxes. Owners are friendly & attentive. Some minor shower/pitch issues noted, but overall great value, space & natural beauty. Highly recommended for tranquility.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Beautiful location, plenty of space for everyone to find their own pitch independently and had a friendly check in a few hrs after arriving. Facilities simple and clean. Bring cash for logs (comes with full fire set up). Had a very lovely stay and enjoyed exploring surrounding areas, would definitely recommend!

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We're pleased you had a lovely time. Maybe see you again in the future.

Liked Easy access. Clean toilets and showers.

Disliked Toilets and showers in the far corner and a long walk from some pitches so long walk in long wet grass.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I'm not sure if you are aware but we have a toilet/ shower block in each field. On arrival you get to choose where you pitch your tent so maybe choosing a pitch nearer to the toilet block would in retrospect would of been more advisable.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked It was quiet with the right amount of amenities for our needs.
The little snug gave us the option of being able to sit out of our tiny tent as the weather wasn’t great.
Owner was lovely. Took us to a more sheltered spot to pitch up. So glad he did as it was a windy night.

Disliked Signage could be bigger. It’s a large campsite and the proper amenities were the other side to the entrance we came in. Not a problem if you have a car.
Also long walk down to town for food although you can get a cab back up.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
Yes we have 2 types of toilet block one eco and one conventional so depending on where you pitch often decides which block you use ,although you are welcome to use either. We do have leaflets on the gate for arrivals showing the layout however I totallly understand that on arrival you just want to set up and not read leaflets!
Hope to see you again on a less breezy holiday :)

Local attractions

To the beach? It’s a fine suggestion, as some of north Devon’s top spots are close by. The peaceful stretch of shingle and sand at Combe Martin is your closest option (five minutes’ drive) and a lovely sheltered spot for swimming or paddleboarding. A little further along the coast, stop in at Ilfracombe (15 minutes) for the unusual Tunnels beaches accessed via hand-carved tunnels, or to board boat trips for a sea safari or an outing to Lundy island. There’s an aquarium here too for a handy damp-day activity. Woolacombe (25 minutes) is another good choice for a beach trip, especially if you’re into your surfing. Away from the coast there are plenty of other options for family days out, including Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (five minutes) and Exmoor Zoo (15 minutes) for animal encounters and Watermouth Castle (10 minutes) for rides and kid-friendly attractions. You may also like to see all the old vehicles at Arlington Court & National Trust Carriage Museum, take a ride on the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (both 15 minutes) or pedal bikes along the traffic-free Tarka Trail from Barnstaple (25 minutes).
