Porte Meadow Campsite

View prices & book 9.6 5 reviews

Secluded grass pitches on a farm on the edge of Exmoor National Park
A 25-minute drive to Woolacombe beach; 10 minutes from Exmoor Zoo
Dedicated dog park, moors walks from site and pubs 10 minutes’ drive

Occupying a quiet farm meadow on the edge of Exmoor National Park, Porte Meadow Campsite has spectacular views over fields and open Devon countryside. Stargazers, surfers, families and dog-lovers – you couldn’t be better placedthan here, what with dark night-time skies, beaches less than 40 minutes’ drive away, and a designated dog park for canine chums needing an off-lead run. There’s a communal firepit for summer barbecues, and you can stock up on grill goodies in Combe Martin (10 minutes’ drive), which has a couple of convenience stores as well as a choice of pubs and restaurants if you’d rather leave the cooking to someone else. For special treats, how about the hotel across the road (five minutes’ walk… no need to worry about the car) for breakfast fry ups, cream teas and dinners using the best of local produce? The pub at Blackmore Gate (five minutes’ drive) also does a fine line in wholesome food with cracking Exmoor views. Back at base camp, a round-up of basic facilities includes toilets, showers, recycling, chemical disposal and gas cylinders.

Liked: The tranquility! I could choose my own pitch which helped me feel more comfortable. The sound of the birds, the small brook and the cows and sheep was just what I needed.

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked: We had an absolutely fabulous time at Porte Meadows this weekend. It was just the two of us with the whole site to ourselves, as we were the only fools who fancied it in a monsoon of hail, snow and freezing temperatures. As soon as we arrived we were fortunate enough to get stuck in the mud on the entrance to the field. Luckily, Dave and his merry men were on hand to rescue us from our muddy woes, in an epic battle of man vs. Nissan Qashqai. 10/10 service, we were out of our rut in a jiffy.

Site has toilets and a shower if needed, we didn't use the shower but the toilets were nice and clean, with a drinking water tap/hose on the outside.
The site is beautiful, set nicely looking over the rolling hills of Exmoor, we even saw some Deer strolling about on Sunday morning accompanied by a small window of well deserved sunshine.
Can't recommend the site enough, you're left to your own devices but the guys are always on hand if ever needed. Looking forward to coming back (in the summer!)

Disliked: Absolutely nothing!

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely comments you did well to survive the cold weather, welcome back any time….. we do get sunny days here. Regards Dave.

Local attractions

This corner of Devon is a surfers' haven, with reliable waves off well-known beaches including Woolacombe (25 minutes’ drive), Saunton Sands and Croyde (both 35 minutes). Board hire and surfing lessons are available for all standards at each of these beaches, as well as plenty of sand and dunes for younger children (and dogs, seasonal rules apply) to run around on safely (as well as ice-cream shops for special treats). If the kids need a break from splashing around on the beaches, try them out with the robotic dinosaurs and keeper talks at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, or take them to get up close and personal with wolves at Exmoor Zoo (both 10 minutes’ drive). For outdoor activities, you can hike sections of the South West Coast Path (15 minutes) for glorious headland views and bracing air, or explore the moorlands in Exmoor National Park – some walks have direct access right from the camping field. Further afield, cross the Barle river on the ancient clapper bridge at Tarr Steps (35 minutes) and reward yourself with a cream tea in the riverside pub.
