  • Family-owned site with spacious pitches on a Devon working farm
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Exeter and the Jurassic Coast
  • Lots of walks in the local area; 10 minutes' walk to cosy village pub
Surrounded by lovely scenery next to the 14th-century farmhouse on a working farm, you’ll probably feel like you’re completely immersed in rural Devon when you stay at Browns Farm Caravan Park. And indeed you will be – the pitches at this family-owned site are spacious and peaceful, and a short drive away from footpaths for walking alone or with your dog by your side. Other outdoor activities including fishing, golf and horse riding can also be tracked down in the local area. Fittingly for a real rural location, there’s a lovely old pub 10 minutes’ walk away in the local village of Woodbury Salterton for drinks and dinner by the log fire under the traditional beams. There’s much more to this place than purely rural outings though, as it’s in an excellent spot for all sorts of days out. City days in Exeter and sandy ones in Budleigh Salterton require a drive of about 15 minutes or so, and there are plenty of attractions nearby too, from the rides of Crealy Theme Park to the floral displays of Bicton Park Botanical Gardens. Wherever you choose to roam, you’ll be coming back to peaceful pitches backed by hedgerows and with access to handy facilities including wifi, a washing-up area, a launderette, chemical disposal and a bathroom block with toilets and showers (including disabled facilities).

FHU cement/asphalt and grass campsite (premium)

Liked: Lovely quiet, small site.
Pitches were level and majority of which were fully serviced. The site was immaculately clean as were the toilet/shower facilities.
We asked to be sited, if possible, near the shower block as my partner has a medical condition. They put us right next to it which was brilliant. Very little noise from the farm.
The local pub, the Diggers Arms was lovely and very welcoming.
We definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

Disliked: Nothing at all.

Liked: Lovely small site with large pitches. Friendly welcome. Warm, clean toilet/shower block. Quiet location.

Disliked: Communal grassy area with picnic benches (which was lovely) was used by a dog owner to toilet her dog.
For safety reasons this should not he allowed. There were plenty of dog walking places nearby.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We ask that all dog owners clear up after their pets and are sad to hear that you observed this not happening.

Great little site on a working farm. Friendly staff and clean facilities.…

Local attractions

Time to stretch your legs? The closest spot is Woodbury Common, a mile away and a handy spot for dog walking, but there’s much to explore as the site sits on the edge of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. And of course there’s always the South West Coast Path – the seven-mile stretch from Budleigh Salterton to Sidmouth is a particularly rewarding one. Speaking of the coast, Budleigh Salterton (15 minutes’ drive) is a lovely place for a day out on the sandy beach, but you could also explore the offerings of Exmouth (15 minutes) or Dawlish (half an hour). Keeping it countryside instead, there’s fishing at Hogsbrook Lakes (five minutes), golf at Woodbury Park (five minutes) and the chance to coo over cute animals at either World of Country Life (15 minutes) or The Donkey Sanctuary (20 minutes). To keep the kids entertained for a full day, try the rides, shows, play areas and animal attractions at Crealy Theme Park (five minutes).
