About Westacott Farm Camping
Picture the scene: you step out of your tent and are greeted by expansive sea views stretching all the way to Lundy Island. That's the reality at Westacott Farm Camping, a peaceful North Devon site where spotless facilities—modern showers with excellent pressure, well-maintained toilet blocks—earn near-universal praise. You're just 20 minutes' walk from the South West Coast Path and the shingle sweep of Peppercombe Beach, where seals and dolphins sometimes appear offshore. Dogs are welcome year-round (on leads on site), and there's a playground for children, plus a farm shop stocked with local sausages, eggs and basics for simple suppers.
Sand fans should make the 15-minute drive to Westward Ho!, where lifeguards patrol and surf schools run beginner lessons. Back at camp, prices stay reasonable—even the metered electricity—and the friendly owners keep everything shipshape. The nearest pub is a leisurely half-hour stroll or five-minute drive in Abbotsham, perfect after a long coastal day.

What visitors say
Lovely camp site. A few fields on gentle slopes. Nice toilet block in the larger fields. Smaller toilet block in the smaller Bay View field. Fidges, freezers, washing machines, etc. Little reception with a few essentials, friendly staff. If the weather is clear you get amazing sunsets towards Lundy island. It has always been a peaceful night's sleep when we have stayed

Wow!!! Managed to get booked in for the Whitsun Bank Holiday weekend, simple process filling in the form on their website, confirmation within hours, deposit paid, balance on arrival. Why can't all sites be this easy?? On arrival there is a notice board giving name and which part of the site to use, in our case Middle Meadow. Destructions advising too pitch around the edge to allow kids to play in the middle. How refreshing to consider kids playing on holiday, superb. We pitched after a long weary diversion laden journey, not noticing until the following morning the fantastic view up the coast as far as Croyde. Also the inland view with the mist in the valley beyond. This is just the kind of site camping is all about, long may it succeed. On site coffee van daily. Spud van one day, pizza cooking place at top of site serving delicious pizzas. Facilties block superb, no queues, fastidiously clean. Hesitant to say too much as want to get in again.

Well equipped facilities including a lot of showers. Good price for backpackers and friendly hosts. Nice views even though there was a little rain!

The view from the campsite was fantastic, and it's in a great spot with relatively flat ground. If you're in Atlantic View at the back, you'll definitely be serenaded by sheep since there's a whole field of them nearby! It was easy to get in and set up wherever I liked but no one around to check in, I could have just been a random person who hadn’t even booked which is the only reason I didn't give full marks for service, I didn’t see a single staff member during my entire stay. However, despite the lack of staff, the toilets and showers were kept really clean throughout, which is a big plus, especially since the campsite was packed. Someone was clearly working hard behind the scenes to keep things in good shape.
