About American School Bus Glamping at Woolacombe
Perched in peaceful North Devon countryside with sea views, this quirky site centers on 'Texas' – a sunshine-yellow American school bus converted into surprisingly spacious glamping accommodation for six. The split-screen icon comes fully loaded: underfloor heating, woodburner, proper kitchen with up-cycled dining table, power shower with fluffy towels, and Egyptian cotton bedding across king-size, sofa and single beds. The real showstopper? A private hot tub gazing toward the coast.
Outside, guests have a picnic table, firepit and barbecue for alfresco evenings, while the wider farm offers a food shop serving hot meals in high season, plus cycle hire, a BMX track, play area and pétanque. Woolacombe's legendary surf beaches lie just a short drive away, with coastal paths, watersports and riding stables all nearby.
Note that dogs aren't permitted, but with such spectacularly family-friendly facilities – and that Instagram-worthy bus parked against a backdrop of rolling fields – you'll hardly miss Fido's company.

What visitors say
Absolutely loved our stay in Texas! The bus was fully equipped, very comfortable and a real eye catcher.. there’s everything you need for a lovely getaway! The children miss it already! Owner is brilliant at responding and answers any questions you may have. The camp is very well done and very friendly, the owner took his time with the children making sure we had everything and we were happy with the bikes we hired. Cannot wait to revisit thank you!

My family and I stayed in the Texas school bus for 4 days as part of a split holiday. I regret we didn’t book for longer! We didn’t want to leave. The bus was amazing, clean and very comfortable. Lee meadow campsite is just perfect for what we wanted. Very peaceful with the most stunning view of the sea and sunset. Lovely shop/cafe with fresh cooked food. Very clean toilets/showers. All the staff were lovely and helpful. We look forward to going there again!
