  • Small-scale family-run site with scenic Devon views
  • A 10-minute drive to Bigbury beach; 20 minutes to Salcombe
  • Pub and award-winning seafood restaurant within walking distance
You’ll have the seaside, the South West Coast Path and the whole of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at your disposal when you stay at Higher Easton Farm Campsite, a lovely little spot just outside Bigbury and about 15 minutes’ drive from Kingsbridge. This is a most handy location for exploring this stunning stretch of the Devon coastline: it’s a two-mile trip to Bigbury beach (for a surf school, kayak hire and instruction in the art of paddleboarding) and there are lots of other fine spots within a 20-minute drive, including Salcombe, Hope Cove and Bantham and Wonwell beaches. All of these are of course linked by the coast path for scenic hikes, and there are more trails half an hour’s drive away in Dartmoor. And the owners quite rightly note that it’s also a handy location for some great Devon eats: the award-winning Oyster Shack is a mile away, and there’s a great fish and chip shop on the seafront in Challaborough (two miles away). Closer to home, it’s a five-minute walk to the local pub or the well-stocked village store, where you can pick up picnic supplies or bits to go on your barbecue. As you’d imagine, there’s some fine scenery around here – and with far-reaching views from the site you can take in a fair amount without moving from your pitch. It’s worth staying awake past sunset too, as the stargazing tends to be pretty good on a clear night. Pitches at Higher Easton Farm are simple in style, but have access to showers and proper toilets.

From the manager: Dear Sian,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. As you say we are an old fashioned camp site, with proper toilets and hot semi outdoor campsite showers. We are lucky to have the Oyster Shack down the road.

Mike H.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Quiet and walkable distance to dog friendly pub and local shop plus lots of walks in the area. We did a circular walk that took in the estuary to Aveton Gifford and also a circular walk to Bigbury. This was achieved using a mixture of the lanes and the many footpaths in the area. Facilities were very clean and basic but all you need. Hazel and Stuart were very welcoming and their communication was very good . We had a lovely bank holiday weekend at a reasonable price and would recommend if you like peace and quiet whilst camping.

Disliked Nothing

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Mike,

There really are some fantastic walks around here with breath taking views, I am a walker too and I love it. Thank you for staying with us, I was so pleased we had great weather. We look forward to seeing you next time.

Best wishes, Hazel and Stuart.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Locations was great for where we wanted to be, and some great views to be had. Friendly welcome. Easy walk to the pub.

Facilities are best described as rustic, old ‘converted’ chicken sheds but we knew what we were heading to from reviews and photos on pitch up.

Disliked Toilets were a little lacking on the privacy side. someone had even poked loo roll between the cracks in the boards in one cubicle, so your experience was less sharing with your neighbouring pooper.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Taking the time for leaving a review. We are glad you found a lot to like. I will personally sit on each of our 5 loos and try and see what you mean about the cracks because I have checked and there is no toilet paper stuffed anywhere!

Best wishes for the rest of your summer.

Hazel

Would definitely return

Tracey C.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The owner Hazel and her husband were very pleasant and helpful. It was lovely to be able to sit it outside at night and take in the beautiful site of our night sky's.
Having not been camping for many years, it was all rather new for us.They made our experience so much better and lenti us their fire pit. The outdoor showers were an experience, but not one to be knocked.They were very warm and much needed after a day at the beach. Thank you Hazel hopefully we will see us again soon.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Tracey,
We look forward to you staying again. It was nice to see you having a good time especially as you were, at best apprehensive about a spending a week under canvas, when you arrived!
You had brilliant weather and our night sky certainly delivered for you, I was out myself just to take in that blanket of stars.

Best wishes to you, your brother and the rest of your family,

Hazel and Stuart.

Local attractions

If you’d like to dabble in some watersports, you’ve come to the right area – Bigbury (10 minutes’ drive) has a sheltered side and one with wilder waves so it’s a place where you can learn to surf or paddleboard your way across calmer waters. Rather stick to dry land? There’s a golf course in the village too. While you’re in Bigbury, take a trip over to Burgh Island, famed for its wildlife and its links to Agatha Christie. You can walk across the causeway at low tide, or take a ride on the sea tractor at other times. Elsewhere along the coast, make a stop in smart Salcombe (20 minutes) for a tour of Overbeck’s (National Trust) and a sip of the local gin, or venture to Dartmouth (35 minutes) to see its ancient castle and stroll around the harbour. For a family day out away from the beach, try Woodlands Family Theme Park (25 minutes), Dartmoor Zoo (half an hour) or the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth (40 minutes).
