Grass Pitch

UK England South West England Devon Barnstaple South Town Camping

  • Sleeps 6 (max 6 adults, 5 children)
Generously spaced mown pitches set in wild flower meadows reached by connecting mown paths through the long grass. Each pitch has uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside and a starry sky on a clear night.

The Owner Says

Our car free site makes for a peaceful, relaxing place for grown ups and a safe place for children to play.  Transporting your kit the short distance to your pitch is made easy along flat paths using supersized wheelbarrows.   Camp fires are welcome raised above the ground, fire pits available to borrow.  Shared facilities include well maintained eco loos, warm gas shower, covered information point and washing up hut with cold mains running water.  We are working to improve the biodiversity of our farm including the camp fields and each year more wild flowers and grasses appear, adding to the interest of the site as it changes through the Spring, Summer and into early Autumn.

About South Town Camping

Suitable For

Our car free site is only for tents.  We are a working farm, our Devon cattle and Jacob sheep often graze the fields around the campsite so sorry, no dogs.

Nearby

As we are based on the National Trust's Arlington Estate there are miles of footpaths through native broadleaved woodland and meadows, accessed straight from your tent.  Arlington Court and gardens are just a 2 mile walk away through the wood.  Nestled in the foothills of Exmoor, just outside the National Park, South Town Farm is a perfect location to explore both Exmoor National Park and the stunning beaches and footpaths of the North Devon Coast.  Our site may feel remote and off the beaten track but we are only a 15 minute drive from Barnstaple.  Combe Martin with it's small beach is just 20 minutes drive and the expansive surf beaches are within 30 minutes by car.   Broomhill Sculpture Gardens and Cafe offer an interesting diversion, Exmoor Zoo

Food & Drink

The award winning Pyne Arms at Eastdown is our only walkable pub, about an hour's stroll through the woods.  Roughly 20 minutes drive is The Black Venus at Challacombe and The Fox and Goose at Parracombe - all offer excellent local food.   Pubs, restaurants and cafes can be found at Combe Martin and Ilfracombe.   Bess Hill Farm Shop is a couple of miles away offering meat straight from it's farm, other local produce along with essential supplies.  Refill shops and local veg can be found in Barnstaple along with the usual supermarkets.
