Porte Meadow Campsite

Barnstaple, North Devon, England

Secluded grass pitches on a farm on the edge of Exmoor National Park A 25-minute drive to Woolacombe beach; 10 minutes from Exmoor Zoo Dedicated dog park, moors walks from site and pubs 10 minutes’ drive Occupying a quiet farm meadow on the edge of Exmoor National Park, Porte Meadow Campsite has spectacular views over fields and open Devon countryside. Stargazers, surfers, families and dog-lovers – you couldn’t be better placedthan here, what with dark night-time skies, beaches less than 40 minutes’ drive away, and a designated dog park for canine chums needing an off-lead run. There’s a communal firepit for summer barbecues, and you can stock up on grill goodies in Combe Martin (10 minutes’ drive), which has a couple of convenience stores as well as a choice of pubs and restaurants if you’d rather leave the cooking to someone else. For special treats, how about the hotel across the road (five minutes’ walk… no need to worry about the car) for breakfast fry ups, cream teas and dinners using the best of local produce? The pub at Blackmore Gate (five minutes’ drive) also does a fine line in wholesome food with cracking Exmoor views. Back at base camp, a round-up of basic facilities includes portaloos, recycling, chemical disposal and gas cylinders.
