The gentle rustle of canvas and the distant call of Devon farmland birds greet early risers at Markstone Farm, where morning mist often rolls across open fields before the sun breaks through. This working farm site in South West England offers an authentic taste of rural Devon life, far from crowded tourist hotspots yet within reach of the region's celebrated coastline and moorland landscapes.
Perfect for families seeking a straightforward camping experience and tourers wanting a peaceful base, Markstone Farm welcomes tents, caravans, and campervans to its farmland pitches. The site suits those who appreciate simplicity and don't mind a more traditional camping setup, where the countryside itself provides the entertainment.
Facilities are kept practical with toilets and showers available for campers. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so enquire when you book if gathering around flames under Devon skies is part of your camping ritual. This is proper countryside camping where the farm setting and wide open spaces create the atmosphere, rather than bells and whistles.
