Guyscliffe Farm

The early morning mist rolls off the Devon hills here, catching in the hedgerows while wood pigeons coo from ancient oaks overhead. There's a particular stillness to this corner of the South West, where farming rhythms still dictate the pace and birdsong provides the only alarm call you'll need.

This is proper back-to-basics camping for those who prefer their pitches simple and their surroundings genuinely rural. Guyscliffe Farm welcomes tents, campervans and caravans onto working farmland, where the Devon countryside spreads out in all its patchwork glory. It's ideal for families seeking a no-frills escape or couples wanting to properly disconnect from the everyday, with classic South West scenery providing the entertainment.

The facilities keep things straightforward with toilets and showers available, while the campfire policy requires checking on arrival – always worth asking if you fancy evenings spent watching flames dance against the darkening sky. The vibe here is peaceful and unpretentious, the kind of place where you fall asleep to absolute silence and wake to nothing but countryside sounds.
