The creak of a farm gate and the distant call of moorland birds signal your arrival at this working farm in deepest Devon, where grass pitches spread across gentle slopes with views that stretch towards Dartmoor's wild edges.
This is a place for campers, caravanners, and campervans who value simplicity and space over entertainment complexes. Stroxworthy Farm offers that increasingly rare commodity: proper countryside quiet, where you're more likely to be woken by birdsong than fellow campers. The South West's dramatic coastline and Dartmoor's ancient tors are both within exploring distance, making this a practical base for those wanting to discover Devon beyond the tourist honeypots.
The facilities keep things straightforward with essential toilets and showers serving the pitches. As a working farm, you're camping alongside the rhythms of agricultural life, with genuine countryside on your doorstep rather than manicured grounds. Check about campfires when you arrive—there's nothing quite like watching flames flicker as darkness settles over Devon farmland. The atmosphere is unpretentious and genuinely rural.
