After a successful reign running another Hipcamp recommended site, Cloud Farm, Colin and Jill Harman have upped sticks and moved to a new and more breathtaking location; this time with sea views, open fields and endless space on the North Devon coast.
When they arrived at Caffyns Farm, the Harmans brought with them their trove of cool campsite know-how, and, alongside the farm’s family B&B and a superb new café, have been busy creating a relaxed, rule-free, pitch-wherever-you-fancy campsite. A campfire culture is encouraged and is even more magical given the location – surrounded by expansive countryside and views over the Bristol Channel that spread endlessly beyond your flickering flames.
Campers are free to wander over any of the 150 acres of farmland, which is some of the flattest in this undulating area of Exmoor – all the better for pitching. So far there are four camping fields edged by protective hedgerows, but there are plans to open up more; a couple of which will be adorned by a yurt or two for glamping… And this is just a fraction of what the Harmans have in store for Caffyns Farm.
Even if it takes a while for their dream site to be completed, this campsite is a cracker as it is. The location is beautiful and the laidback vibe ensures friendly, relaxed campers. It’s an irresistible spot for kids who are hooked on riding and beach days, too, with pony-trekking right from the farm’s own stables and walks down to the stunning beach at Lee Bay for days spent bodyboarding, sandcastlebuilding and rockpooling.
