 Just got back from 3 nights at this site. Wet, windy and muddy, but great fun. Don't forget your wellies. Kids thoroughly enjoyed it and want to know when we can go back! Beautiful views, well maintained toilet blocks with nice hot showers, polite and friendly welcome from all there. Kids loved the farm animals, especially the calves and thought it was great that the collected the eggs that they then bought. £1. 25 for 1/2 dozen eggs, money well spent. We had a friendly cat in the awning rather than chickens, which was brave as we took the dog! Would certainly recommend this site and would love to go back next year, maybe around lambing time.

Well as this is my first time camping as a mum and my daughters first camping ever, I am very impressed! The site itself it well laid out with plenty of space for everyone. We managed to be near the new toilet block at the bottom of the main field and they were well looked after.
We participated in every milking and all who were there had time for you and didn't worry too much about answering my barrage of questions (inquiring minds!) the cows have some fantastic personalities and are so adorable. The milking sessions can be enjoyable (if you like to muck in!) with expert guidance you can feed them and herd them to there field once done.
Whilst we visited a calf had been recently born and was a bubbly little thing! Hens roam freely most of the afternoon so be prepared for tents/caravan visitors like it or not!
The owners have a nice little shop selling the cheese which their milk is used to make! Also they have frozen meats and if the chickens are not too traumatised by the children playing near them then you can get some fresh eggs! There are two turkeys, some geese and a couple of rabbits that you can see and if the son is around you may be able to get a closer look.
The cost of our stay was extremely reasonable and I won't hesitate in coming again and again or as often as I can

Just returned from a 4 night stop at West Middlewick Farm and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The owners are very friendly and helpful and do all they can to make visitors feel involved in what goes on at the farm. Young children will have a wonderful time here helping to feed the animals, collect eggs and even helping to herd the cattle from the milking shed back to their field - it's a million miles away from tv and computer games. I would recommend this site whether or not you have kids, just for the friendly relaxed experience. You have to remember it's a working farm so don't expect fancy holiday-park facilities. The toilet blocks were kept clean all the time we were there but of course kids are going to trample mud from the farmyard around in poor weather - nothing the owners can do about that. Can't really comment on the surrounding area as we only left the site once and that was to go to the shop in the village of Witheridge about a mile up the road, pleasant village with picturesque pub. We are already looking forward to a return visit to this site.

Just come back from a very cold 3 nights at middlewick and cannot wait to go back. Our 10 year old loved it. It is a working farm so if you don't like getting dirty and don't like the smell of cow poo this isn't for you, but for us it was excellent. Our son got to see the cows being milked and the farmer's wife let my son feed the cows before they were milked. Then they showed him how to feed the calves who were very cute and like to suck on your coat pockets. There are free range chickens all around.
There is a new toilet block in the camping field which is great also has washing up area. Further up by the farm is the shower blocks. Women's takes 20p and 40p was enough for a good shower.
We went to the pub up in nomansland called mount pleasant inn really nice food. There is a local shop in witheridge for basic bit and bobs. Can't wait for a return visit in the summer when hopefully the weather will be warmer.

We spent 2 nights here on our 'road-trip' down to Cornwall in our Volkswagen Camper 'Vera'. The cost of £10 per night was the original deciding factor and it was a pleasant surprise that it was such a lovely place. Fantastic views and lovely owners.
We were met by the owner who explained that they had a newly completed toilet/wash-up block at the bottom of the main field. He offered us hook-up on hardstanding next to the block. As it was very quiet on the site, we felt like they were our own personal toilets! They are certainly a substantial and well built block. He explained that they still only had the shower block next to the house, but that he had a new block planned.
We used the showers which run on 20p pieces. 60p gave a good shower. A hairdryer is also available, again 20p. We also used the industrial sized washer and dryer. The washer was a little awkward to use, but The owner explained how to do it. £5 is needed for the wash and about the same for a full load in the dryer - comparable with launderettes. We didn't mind paying for showers etc. As the basic pitch and hook-up was so cheap.
We didn't have anything to do with the farm, but did have visits from the chickens in the afternoons! There were no children staying on the site but we could see that there was a lovely area for them to play in the middle of the field.
We checked out the lodges which look lovely and also had a look at the 2 Pods that they have in the lower field - these are like wooden tents with TV, double futon and stretcher bed.
All in all, this is a lovely site and we intend to return.

What a great place and an extremely warm welcome. Very child friendly with tame free range chickens and flop eared rabbits. It's a working farm as others have said and this does mean that there is everything you might expect from dairy cattle herding in and out of the milking parlour so take your wellies. It seems that children (and adults) are welcome to watch what's going on in the piggery, chicken and geese run and the dairy.
The camping area is good short grass with a very gentle slope and plenty of hardstanding pitches and hook ups around the edge. The central area is set aside with goal posts for children's ball games. There is a smallish new shop being set up for the sale of farm eggs, sausages and so on.
As for facilities, in the camping field there is a new building with toilets and a couple of hot water washing-up sinks but no showers. These are in the older building nearer the farm house.
All in all a very friendly place and at very reasonable prices. One to revisit.

This campsite is fantastic. The location is beautiful with views over the rolling hills and the farm is great for the kids. We couldn't get over how friendly the farmer's family were; incredibly busy but always ready to stop for a chat and to tell you about the farm and what is going on.
The main field has large open pitches (the majority with electric hookup) and mixes caravans with tents which is a nice touch. They leave the main area free for the kids to play games so that they never get anywhere near the tents or caravans with balls etc. But this also gives you a feeling of space. The second overflow field is huge.
The kids get free rein to investigate the farm, can go and collect eggs throughout the day, check on the pigglets and the calves etc and help out by feeding the cows when they come in for milking.
One of the nice things is that the site is not commercialised at all. There are enough showers and toilets etc. But you may have to wait for them (no big deal, just enjoy the setting). There is also a fridge freezer you can use and a useful industrial size washing machine and tumble dryer.
They also have some lovely wooden cabins and pods.
Even the drive to the supermarket (Tesco superstore in Tiverton 9 miles away) is a joy down one of the best roads I have seen in a long time. Beautiful.
Location wise you can go to Ilfracombe and the north coast in just over an hour or jump on the M5 and be in Torquay again in just over an hour.
Definitely one for our shortlist to return to in the future!

Returned to West Middlewick Farm for the second time. This time for 15 nights.
I was delighted to see that things are still exactly the same and getting better too. It was lovely to be remembered by The Gibson Family.
The site continues to build on it's already excellent facilities. The animal areas are expanding - rabbits are now more visible in large runs, there are now 2 geese.
The site is clearly becoming more popular, it was full most of the time we were there. Despite being full, the site facilities coped with the numbers. I rarely ever had to wait for a shower and only occasionally had to wait for my turn to wash up the dishes (I'm never in a hurry to get my hands dirty anyway!)
The site remains beautifully well kept. All grass is regularly cut, the paths are regularly cleared.
It's an incredible achievement that the very busy Gibson Family with only a small number of extra staff can run a busy dairy farm and other animals on different sites and still manage to given an attentive service to all their campers and keep the grounds looking good.

We arrived on an extremely wet Bank Holiday Friday - the farmer took us to our pitch which considering the weather was relatively firm. The weather improved over the weekend and the ground dried out well.
We were camping with friends, the children all enjoyed the farm and the freedom to look at the animals etc. We visited Tiverton Canal with kayaks, dogs, children and the hire of a Canadian Canoe. Lovely walks along the very pretty canal.
Showers were hot and powerful - quite muddy but to be expected considering the weather! If I could pick one thing that could have been better was the grass needed a mow around our pitching area - it was quite long. Apart from that everything else was fine.
Friendly farmer and family.

We chose West Middlewick because of its price (£15 per night), its proximity to Diggerland (very important when you have a digger-mad 4 year old!) and that fact that children were allowed to help out on the farm.
We were not disappointed! We arrived 2 hours earlier than check-in and asked if we could leave our trailer tent somewhere and come back at the appropriate time.
Joanna and John were very accommodating and allowed us onto our pitch as it had been vacated early which was much appreciated after a 6 hour drive. In fact we were given a choice of pitches which was lovely.
The children loved the fact that they could play on the grassed centre area while we pitched. It gave them a bit of freedom but we could see them all the time.
Once pitched we went to investigate the farm and once again Joanna was very helpful advising on supermarkets, local shops, local pubs and good beaches.
For supermarkets Morrisons or Tescos in Tiverton were great. Dan showed the children the rabbits, the chicken and geese and was generally very helpful and good with the kids.
Basically if you want to help you can, if you want to watch, you can and if you don't want to do either, that's OK too! Our daughter is seven and had much more independence that she usually has because of the group of children that were feeding, milking and egg collecting.She would often go off for an hour or so and return mucky but happy!
We accompanied our four year old because he is not quite ready to be let loose! He fell in love with Alfie the lamb and on our last day he sat in the pen and sobbed because he was leaving. If you decide to leave the farm, Exmouth beach is nice, Saunton Sands is a good beach (£7. 00 to park for the day though) and we were told that Combe Martin beach is great too. Diggerland was fab but so pleased we did the Tesco voucher thing as not sure I would have paid £68 to get in for the day.
A lovely evening walk on the farm is down the fields to the river. Please remember your wellies as it is a farm and there is a fair bit of mud and poo around the sheds etc but they are very good at trying to keep the paths clear.
The showers were excellent, always warm and only needed 60p for myself and daughter to have showers and wash hair. There is a hair dryer and we never queued for toilets or the sinks.
The boys didn't queue either. The mops are a great idea so that you can clean up after yourself. All in all we had a great time, the kids made friends and really enjoyed the animals.
We would recommend this site and will return when our son is old enough to have that freedom too. P. S you have to try the sausages, bacon, cheese and eggs available from the farm - they are great!
