The smell of salt air drifts up from the north Devon coast, mixing with the earthy scent of farmland that rolls toward Exmoor's wooded combes.
Brightlycott Barton suits campers, caravanners and motorhomers looking for a working farm stay in proper Devon countryside — the kind of place where you pitch on grazing land with hedgerows for shelter and skylarks overhead. It's classic north Devon territory here, where you're never far from either the moors or the Atlantic beaches, and the landscape feels genuinely rural rather than manicured. Families who like space to roam and couples after a bit of peace will find the vibe honest and unpretentious.
Facilities are straightforward — toilets and showers onsite — and there's scope for campfires, though you'll want to check what's allowed when you arrive. It's the sort of site where simplicity is the point, and the setting does the talking.
