About Stowford Farm Meadows

The park is set amongst 500 acres of rolling countryside and mature woodland providing fabulous views and a safe environment for a fun family holiday. It's a mile from the nearest main road, along a long private drive. The site is home to plenty of pitches whether you're in a tent, caravan, or motorhome! There are both grass and hardstanding pitches available. The hardstanding has a grass area for your awning or if you'd rather have a gravelled space then there are also 50 all-weather pitches which also have a tap and drainage. All pitches are of a generous size and come with 10 amp electric hook up and water taps are never too far away. It is worth noting that some pitches are sloped while others are more level. There is plenty to do nearby, whether it's a day exploring Exmoor national park or relaxing on Woolacombe beach, both can be reached within a 20 minute drive. Dogs are also welcome.

Stowford Farm Meadows is open from 29/01 to 31/12 in 2024 and from 01/04 to 01/11 in 2025.

A note from the site themselves...

We have amazing staff who are friendly and welcoming, our customer feedback demonstrates this and we are always keen to hear feedback. People are always impressed by all the facilities we have, and how wide and spacious our pitches are.

We also like to give customers a relaxed, open feeling which many have described as being 'a large site with a small site feel'.

One thing we pride ourselves in being very environmentally friendly, we are lucky to have over 500 acres of beautiful land in North Devon so making sure we reduce our carbon footprint and our environmental impact is very important to us, we even have accreditation from 'Green Tourism'

Lovely site. Great facilities. No phone signal, and the WiFi didn't work though.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Caravan PitchesAug 2024

Although a large site, it was a lovely, peaceful site with everything geared towards children. For us, this was great as we took our 2 grandsons aged 6 and 10. Took them swimming twice which you have to book, but this stops the pool being overcrowded. Water lovely and warm and changing facilities immaculately clean. Nightly entertainment available, the only downside during our stay was that the restaurant was not open due to unforeseen circumstances?
