Bowhayes Farm Sanctuary - Camping & Glamping

The gentle rustle of rescued animals settling into their straw-filled barns drifts across the Devon meadows as evening light filters through ancient hedgerows at this working farm sanctuary. This is camping with a conscience, where your pitch becomes part of a heartwarming story of animal rescue and rehabilitation.

Bowhayes Farm Sanctuary offers a unique escape for families and animal lovers seeking something beyond typical campsite experiences. Set in the rolling Devon countryside, it welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its peaceful grounds. The sanctuary setting means inquisitive children and adults alike can connect with rescued residents during their stay, adding genuine purpose to a rural retreat. It's ideal for those who value ethical tourism and want their holiday to support meaningful work.

Facilities are kept simple, allowing the sanctuary's mission to take centre stage. Campfire policies should be confirmed on arrival, so you can plan those twilight gatherings accordingly. The atmosphere is unhurried and welcoming, where the soundtrack shifts from birdsong to contented animal murmurs as dusk falls. It's camping that feeds the soul as much as it rests the body.
