Switch off and make the most of life in the slow lane at South Town Farm on the edge of Exmoor National Park in North Devon. It's a small site for tents only, beautifully basic and totally off grid - part of The National Trust's Arlington Court. The fields are car free and there's lots of room for families to enjoy playing games, exploring nature, campfires, stargazing and meeting the animals. For glampers, a cosy shepherd's hut is available.

Beautiful site, lovely and peaceful and owners who go above and beyond for their guests. Couldn't have asked for more (perhaps less rain ;-) ). Can't wait to come back next year!

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesMay 2024

Absolutely idyllic! Felt like a hidden utopia featuring wildflowers and wildlife galore. Everything was very clean and thoughtful and simple. Huge wheelbarrows are provided to make carting everything from the car very easy. The beautiful fire pits are a really special touch. We didn't want to leave and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful spot in the meadows of Devon. Peaceful and plenty of room for kids to run around. Very affordable. Basic facilities but that's all we need and everything there was perfect. Thanks so much. I'm sure we'll be back!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2023

By far, this is the best campsite we have stayed in in either the UK or Ireland. It is quiet and peaceful and there is beautiful nature all around. The facilities are simple, well-designed, and looked after extremely well. It was a really peaceful and lovely break for us to just be in a natural field with the birds and insects. The location is excellent for delving into the North Devon Coast and Exmoor. next time, we will spend much longer.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2023

We stayed for one night before going to Lundy island, 2 friends with a small tent each that easily fitted in one pitch. This was a perfect site for us. It was blissfully peaceful with beautiful views & large well managed pitches. If you're after a deliciously calm site that has obvious ecological & sustainability values, then you will be happy at this lovely site. Loved the fact that fire pits were provided & logs available to purchase. Such a lovely atmosphere & made to feel very welcome by the owners. We will be back. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at South Town Camping. The site is beautiful and spacious. Lovely views and very quiet! We loved how family-friendly the site was, we made friends with other families staying and the kids all played together. A wonderful sense of space and freedom for the children to play in the field together. Dani the owner is so very nice and welcoming. We are looking forward to returning next year.
