About Higher Cheristow Farm Camping

No traffic, no motorways, no amusement arcades, and no entertainment. Just cows, countryside, and a few ducks. The site has extensive views over the countryside, making it an ideal spot for sitting back and enjoying your morning coffee. With a maximum of five caravans or motorhomes that can stay at one time, this site endeavours to limit guests to a total of 18 people, ensuring you have a peaceful, stress free holiday. With the added bonus of being an adult only, no children to wake you up early in the morning, or play football against the van. There are a total of two grass tent pitches, along with three grass touring pitches. Tourers also have the option of two hardstanding pitches, with each welcoming up to two guests. The site is perfect for no frills, back-to-nature camping. Get away from the city and chill out, bring your guitar and surfboard. BBQs and firepits are welcome, but not directly on the ground. Dogs are also allowed, with up to two per pitch. A torch is essential as there is not street lighting. On a clear night the sky is full of stars and the moon shining brightly. Amazing for star gazing and being at peace with the world.

Higher Cheristow Farm Camping is open from 23/06 to 07/09.

A note from the site themselves...

We are passionate about farming in a traditional way without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilisers. Our cattle are Pasture for Life certified, and live a natural stress free life. They have access to herb rich pastures and lots of care and attention. Our hedges are brimming with nature, and the birdsong is amazing.

We use biodynamic preparations, homemade bioferments and homeopathy for both the 350 acres and the animals we care for.

We would be delighted for you to come and enjoy part of our lovely farm, which is haphazard and informal, but full of life, love and compassion.

Single Axle Caravan - Hardstanding Pitches (Optional Electric)Aug 2024

We stayed here for a week staying in our new touring caravan. Such a lovely site which looks over the North Devon countryside. This is a working farm with cows around you and a pack of very tame ducks. Shelly and Eric, the hosts were super friendly and welcoming. Electric, water, clean toilets, showers if you need them. Location is great to explore, lovely walks. Adults only and very quiet.

Peaceful, remote adult campsite

Small Tent - Grass Tent Pitches (Optional Electric)Aug 2024

My boyfriend and I shared such a special time at this adult-only campsite. It was remote, peaceful and we really felt connected to nature through the little touches at the kitchen cabin, the warm welcome from Shelly and Eric and the various animals on the farm. Hartland has plenty to do for a long weekend, the quaint village centre is a short cycle away and there's the lighthouse and Speke Mills waterfall close by too. We also were able to buy local honey at the campsite! Overall would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, quiet get away.

Great rural experience - stunning location
