 We loved this site, the location is stunning. Short walk to Hartland Point with a nice pub with good food. Amenities only a short drive for corner shop etc.
The facilities are, rustic. I choose my word carefully because I don't want to give a poor impression, the washing up and toilets area was brilliant (in the fields). The showers, are a converted farm building and very rustic, but theyre clean, functional, what more do you need!
Price was not the cheapest we stopped at that summer, but reasonable.
The lady and the bloke (and the dogs!) were lovely, there only one reason, ive given this an overall of 8/10 and not 9 or 10/10 and that's the little passive aggressive signs everywhere.
'Paper towels are for your hands, not for flushing down the loos'.
'The electrics are working fine! Weve had an electrician check them. The reason they blow is people using non camping appliances!'
'Even on the website they state do not send credit card details in an email (IT DOES HAPPEN!)'
I can be quite blunt and to the point, but it just comes across as rude and passive aggressive.
Brilliant site for the kids, with football pitch and wide open space that's easy to give them freedom, whilst knowing theyre safe.
All that being said. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We visited this campsite as a last minute visit during half term due to great weather. I phoned up in advance to check there was space and found the owners to be very friendly and welcoming. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and told where to find a pitch (although it is your choice where to pick). We found a great spot in the field with the play area. Lovely generous pitches with plenty of space. The centre of the field is left free as a meadow so there is plenty of space to run around and beautiful sea views from every pitch. There were other fields, some of which had electric hook up. We don't use electric so went in the field without it.
The children loved the play area, it had a large trampoline, several slides, swings and seesaws. Also a large football area with 2 goals. Our 4 and 5 year olds spent most of our 3 days on it, having a wonderful time and making friends.
The facilities were very clean and well maintained. There was what seemed to be a new block in our field with just 2 toilets and a small washing up area. Just cold water but very clean and with solar fairy lights at night. There was then a larger toilet block with more washing up facilities in the next field (not a long walk) which was very clean and tidy every time I visited. We were very happy with them. We didn't get round to visiting the showers on this trip. There was a barn with freezers/fridges in it and plenty of information about local things to do.
The campsite shop was large and reasonably priced, open for a couple of hours in the morning and in the evening. Campfires are allowed on site but only in a brazier. That's fine, we hired one from the owners for only £1. 50 and a sack of wood for £5 and had a lovely fire in the evening looking out to sea. The immediate surrounding village of Stoke Barton didn't seem to have much in it (although it is very pretty) but it is a short drive to Hartland which has various supplies shops and a good chippy. From the campsite you can walk down to the coastal path, which was stunning. We also walked to Hartland Quay (only a 20 minute walk, even with children) for an icecream and a bit of a splash in the sea. There's a pub there and another shop.
Overall, we were very impressed and will definitely be back. A little slice of heaven. It is a very relaxed campsite in a beautiful spot. There are rules, but nothing taxing. Excellent for families. Everyone was very friendly and you could see the place being looked after.

Greeted by a nice friendly chap called Colin, who showed us some pitch options and moved a stored caravan so that we could position our camper where we wanted. This is a big site, comprising several fields, but tents and vans are only situated around the sides of the fields so that the middle is left free for games etc
The campsite is kept very clean by Colin's daughter whose name I cannot remember, but she was also very friendly and helpful just like her dad.
Well stocked shop, sold yummy cakes! And some nice secondhand items - bought a lovely salad bowl! We had to queue once for the showers whilst we were there, which I don't think was a hardship. Ran out of hot water for dishes a couple of times, but we just went back again later. You are able to use their freezers for ice packs and there are fridges for chilling food and wine etc.
Walked out to Hartland Point and into Hartland Village while we were there and drove to Bideford and visited Clovelly.
No light pollution in the area which as I have said within other reviews is important to us as we like to sit out and look at the stars. We used fire logs (Poundland sell them) on our bbq which was raised off the ground in the evenings and they were happy for us to do that - next best thing to a campfire.
Other campers were very friendly and we would recommend this site to anyone visiting the area.

Upon entering the camp we made our way to the reception area and was greeted by Colin, who was the site owner, he was a happy, easy going man, who showed us to our pitch, gave us some helpful advise about setting up our tent, due to the wind coming in off the coast. We set up our tent on which isn't a pitch as such, as nothing is marked out, which is just the way we like it! The camp site is pretty easy to find, and well equipped with sinks to wash up, showers and toilets. We were there at the carnival weekend and apparently the site was packed! but my goodness the space my 4 boys had to play was just unbelievable to say it was packed! the site is just massive, and so family friendly. The showers did get a little cooler as the camp filled up with campers, but this didn't bother us. There is freezers' and a fridge in the barn for campers to use. If your lucky, there are Swallow's nesting in the barn and you see them darting in and out feeding there babies in the nest, such a lovely sight for children to see. The facilities on site were spotless, I think I counted them being cleaned 3/4 times a days. The camp owner gives children a ride on the back of his quad bike to go and see the animal's in the fields only for about 15 minutes but my two boys loved it.
Such a wonderful camp site, in a splendid location over looking Lundy Island, and a short walk to the quay, where there's a small sandy beach with great rock pools for the children and a pub which accepts dog for the adults, but dogs aren't allowed on the beach. A site which me and my family will look forward to returning to.

We stayed for 3 nights with two young children (3&7). The information and booking process was very straight forward.
On arrival we were escorted to the field and given a few options of where to pitch our tent (in the vicinity of the electricity points) by Martin? Who was very friendly and happy to help.
The campsite itself is fantastic with an enormous amount of space for the kids to run around and make as much noise as they wanted without fear of upsetting anyone else.
The scenery is amazingly beautiful. The site is on a costal walk, and is only twenty minutes (with kids) away from the quay which has a museum, shop and pub / hotel etc.
The toilet and washup block in the field we stayed in we're very clean and are adequate for a field that size. There is a bit of a walk to the showers depending on where in the site you are. They may be basic, but do the job.
The on site shop sold more things than you could think you would ever need, but end up finding essential!
We went to the 'milky way' for the day when the weather was less than great. I would definitely recommend it for under 10s. There is more to do there than you can possibly achieve in one day, but well worth the try. The soft play area is designed so the adults can take part too, so it's fun for all the family.
We will definitely be back to the camp site, and will be there for longer next time. Keep up the good work!

I stayed here the week before the school holidays began and the weather was stunning. Together with such a lovely site, it made for a wonderful week away and I actually stayed one day longer than planned due to that. The site is just the type that I love - un-regimented without being anarchic. The showers and toilets were very clean and good to use with no charge.
I was lucky to get a sea view from my campervan with electric hook up and in the evening saw the sun going down from my van.
There is a small eclectic shop on the site that is open twice a day and I bought a local walking map from there for £2. I was really looking for an ordnance survey map but this turned out to be a really good buy - it had lots of little bits of extra info that you don't get on an OS map.
There is a lovely walk into Hartland which follows a stream and ends up at one of the nice pubs there.
The site is good for dogs as there is a beautiful wild flower meadow just next to the camping field and then on from there are walks along the coastal path.
I would not recommend eating at the pub at the Hartland Quay however as my one dinner there was microwaved to death.
I would totally recommend this site and will definitely stay again if I am back in this area.

This is one of our favourite sites. The owners are always friendly and knowledgeable. The pitches are sited in huge fields looking out to sea and even though we needed EHU, we were allowed to pitch pretty much where we wanted (within the constraints of our electric lead!). Owners are very relaxed and happy for you set up camp however you like ie. Doesn't matter which way your caravan faces and put up awning / windbreaks etc as you like.
Facilities are always clean. Showers in the converted old animal sheds are a bit basic but are very clean with plentiful hot water. Whole feel of the site is relaxed and inviting with farm dogs and cats wandering around with the campers.
The coast path is a short walk away over a field. We walked to the pub at Hartland Quay for dinner which was very nice and a lovely walk back to the site in the evening sunshine. We also walked along the coastpath to Clovelly. Clovelly was well worth a visit, especially as the sun was beaming down. We had a fantastic lunch in the Tea Room at the lower end of the village and spent time fussing the donkeys!
In summary, Stoke Barton Farm is in an excellent location for walking, cycling and sight-seeing. It has a truly relaxed, inviting feel and we always feel refreshed after a visit. Looking forward to another visit soon.

Highly recommend this campsite near Clovelly. It was good to have so much room, having previously been at sites where guy ropes overlapped. The toilet block was immaculate and kept so by the campers, it seemed to be just as clean and tidy at the end of the day as immediately after cleaning. The shower block was further away near the farmhouse, in the old milking parlour, but the ladies was generally sized and convenient but the gents not as well planned.
The owners would like to build a more convenient block but do not actually own the land so have not been able to. The camping fields are very flat and the grass short and green.
The family were friendly and helpful, the farmer came round as we were packing the tent and thanked us for staying.
They deserve to do very well. Don't go if you are looking for organised entertainment but if you want a traditional farm site, very clean and well organised this is ideal.

We stumbled across this site when we visited Hartland Point while on our way up from Newquay. We only stayed overnight so didn't explore fully but we were both impressed enough to make a note of it for a longer stay in the near future.
We paid £12 for a non electric grass pitch for the van and two people which we thought was quite reasonable after having been in Newquay!
We were directed to the middle of the 3 camping fields, easily as big as 3/4 football pitches so had plenty of space. There's a toilet block in the corner of the field with a washing up area in the same block and chemical waste point and fresh water close by. They pipe radio 2 into the toilet area which made an unusual change. The shower block was located away from the field and in a converted building close to the farmhouse. We can't comment on the showers as we were going swimming so didn't use them.
We were told that there was a kettle and microwave oven available for us to use if we needed them and there was a shop open for a couple of hours in the morning selling local produce.
There's a play area for the kids which had a trampoline, a couple of slides and some other equipment set up next to a football pitch with goal nets in the third field.
I found the access road to the camping field a bit rough and more suited to a 4x4 than our camper with it's low profile wide tyres. But, it's a working farm and maybe we expect too much.
Overall, what it may lack in bells and whistles it makes up for with loads of open space, a sea view and glorious sunsets. We'll be back

Stayed here last week and will be returning for a few days next week. Stunning location (especially when the sun shines) with views over the rolling hills of North Devon and out to sea and Lundy Island with the tower of St Nectan's church dominating the Stoke skyline.
Pro's - location, plenty of space, welcoming owners, toilet and washing facilities in main field, the Kings Arm's pub in Hartland (great pint!)
Con's the men's showers could do with a makeover and shower facilities added to the toilets in the main field would be a distinct advantage, the driveway to the fields is a little rough - ok in a land rover but take it slowly in anything else.
Don't let the con's over shadow the pro's - this is definitely a place that I hope to return to
