 Long weekend with the kids. Beautiful weather so that helped, but even so I reckon one of the best sites I have visited.
It was simple, but clean, friendly, easily accessible and had a view to die for. In peak season there may be some issues with showers and toilets as these were in short supply - no problem on my visit though.
Lots of room to pitch the tent on good flat, well drained pitches. Lots of room for the kids to run about,
Short walk to pubs and right on the coast path - I definitely want to go back again.

Loads of space. Friendly owner. Perfectly adeqaute facilities. Free use of fridges and freezers. Good access to coast paths and great walking and coastal scenery.
Pub at Hartland Quay gets busy at peak times but within easy walking distance, about a mile.
Clovelly and Bude all nearby. Good value site. The fields are level with some sea views.
Tea rooms on site open in the afternoon but we didn't use them.
Great site for all including families and larger groups.

We had a wonderful one night at stoke Barton. We mainly came for the allowance of camp fires, but the boys absolutely loved the camp site. I also learnt something new.What a brazier was! The toilets and showers were very clean. The owners very helpful and friendly. We found a fab walk down to the coast and the best bit was the marshmallows toasted under the stars! Definitely go again!

This site is brilliant if you want a site which has little formality, if you have a dog, then this is a fantastic dog holiday, because dogs are allowed to run free, as long as they behave of course.
The views and walks are to die for, as is the cream teas that are served on site.
The facilities are a bit basic, but clean, some toilets and showers were totally private.
As has already been mentioned, you can walk from the site across the fields to the Hartland Quay, and they will allow dogs inside.
One thing to note if you have dogs is to give them tick treatment prior to going and take a tick remover with you just in case, as both our westies got ticks and so did the dog in the tent next door to us.
They take non refundable deposit, The charge is £11 or £12 night plus £3. 50 per night for hookup, depending on time of year. We will definitely visit again.

We have been to Stoke Barton Farm campsite on several occasions. What a fantastic site. We love the set up, it is really simple and back to basics, just the way we like it. There are some permanent caravans dotted around the site but it is so spacious that you hardly notice them. The meadows are used for hay to feed the livestock and you are encouraged to keep off the middle of the fields to protect this. The plus side of this is that even if the site is busy it never feels crowded.
The toilet facilities are good, there are several dotted about. They are well kept and well cleaned. There are however only a few showers. But that said we have never had to queue.
The walk to the pub at Hartland Quay is lovely, about 20 minutes to half hour depending on how fast you walk. Oh, I should mention that this could be pretty breezy. This is because the whole area is right on the top of the cliffs.
The area is great for kids. Plenty of room to run about, and also some good rock pooling opportunities by the quay.
All in all, a lovely site, as long as it is not too windy.

The site was easy to find and we chose our own spot just before the heavens opened!
Owners very helpful and even offered to order us a daily paper
Lovely views to the coast and Lundy. Coast path goes through the farm so we had a great time exploring. Pub at Hartland Quay much appreciated before we went back to the van
New toilet block very good. The shower block was down near the farmhouse but enjoyed the walk
Loads of space in the pitching area. DId not notice at first that several vans were not in use so worth trying to go near one of these if you like solitude
We loved this site and will be back

Very nice campsite,only grouse was the trek to the showers and the fact they were quite a tight fit and as stated before the push button is a bit annoying but I found that If I leant back against the button I could keep it on the whole time I was in there
The owners were very friendly and charged my phone up for me with no charge (the phone reception for T mobile was very poor in the campsite & surrounding area - found it worked if you stood 5 yards away from the toilet block)As it was september, we took the owners advice and pitched right in the sheltered bottom corner,we were glad we did as on our last night a storm blew up and broke a few poles on the more exposed tents!
The site is ideal for walking the coastal paths,the path to hartland Point is quite strenuous as there are a lot of 'uppy downy's',the path to Welcombe Mouth past Spekesmill water fall is excellent,a flatter cliff top walk with excellent views,don't miss the great sunsets from hartland Quay !

This was a lovely campsite, easy to find down some nice winding country roads. The farmer was on hand to great us and showed us to a large field flanked by hedgerows that offered some well needed shelter from the winds. First impressions were the abundance of space available to each camper.
Obviously when you visit north Devon you expect high winds but this place although remote, wasn't too exposed and although the wind blew but the tent held firm. The toilet blocks are clean and have plenty of cubicles.
The small farmhouse has a lovely garden and inside can seat 25 people for what I can only describe as one fo the most declicious cream teas I have ever eaten. The price (£6) is a little steep for 2 scones and tea but it was delicious.
The showers are good quality and warm. The local facilities are Hartland Quay, about 10 mins by bike or 3 mins by car. Don't cycle unless you have legs like Roberto Carlos, the cycle back is a monster! a beautiful pub, with stunning views awaits thouhg, and a nice pebble beach approximately 500 yards long.
Overall the campsite and local surroundings, are very good and excellent value for money.

Just come back from a fantastic week camping at Stoke Barton Farm camp site. What a spacious and unspoilt site in a lovely setting right on the coast, with sea views across to Lundy Island. What made the site is the attentiveness of the owners, Colin often came past to check we were ok and would always stop for a chat.
The pitches were not over crowded and there was no issue about space, I have never been to a campsite where there are 3 large fields which haven't been crammed full of tents! It was great for our Son to come out of the tent and fly a kite, ride his bike and generally run about, without being on top of other tents.
The facilities were very good, although the showers could have been a little closer (bikes came in handy). The new toilet block and washing up facility was excellent, always very clean and lots of hot water. I thought the radio playing in the toilets and magazines was a nice touch!
There were showers and laundry facilities down at the main house which were very good, although the showers could do with a temperature control. There was also a book swap which was handy as I was out of action for a couple of days.
There is a coastal walk at the bottom of the site which takes you to Hartland Quay which we loved. For a small cove it had everything you need on a beach - great waves for body boarding, sand and rock pools, plus a pub. The pub does get busy so arrive early, there were pubs in the Hartland village (which was lovely - like something out of another age) I wouldn't recommend the Kings Arms though.
There are plenty of activities nearby, the Milky Way adventure park was ideal for wet days with bumper cars, rides, plus falconry and escapology shows.
We didn't get to see half of the things we wanted to, so will definitely be going back next year. We cannot recommend this site highly enough, but hope that it doesn't get spoilt as it is perfect as it is!

Although the weather was absolutely awful, nothing could dampen the spirits of my OH and I at this beautiful campsite.
The campsite is well placed in glorious countryside, with a costal path very close by. It's an amazing feeling to get out your tent in the morning and see the sea.
The facilities were very good. The toilet block up on the field is apparently undergoing improvements at the moment, but in all honesty you couldn't tell, they looked perfect. They were always spotless, and warm (which is very lovely when having to pay a night time visit!).
There was also a washing up facility adjoining the toilet block, with hot water, and the necessaries for washing up, which was very helpful for my OH and I as we were staying in a tent, and it provided a sheltered haven to clean up in. There was also a play area for children with swings and a giant trampoline. Although I didn't use it, I can imagine I would of loved it when I was a kid.
The showers were a bit of a trek away; at least 10 mins walk from our tent and as the weather was so miserable, we took to driving down to shower. The showers themselves were spotlessly clean, and provided plenty of hot water, although annoyingly, it was a push button system and the water would only stay on for 10 seconds at a time, making it hard to have a nice shower.
The campsite owners were very friendly and helpful. We decided on our last morning to sample one of their cooked breakfasts. It cost about £6, and for that you got fresh, warm bread, and a cooked breakfast that was so big you could not imagine, and as much toast as you could eat. It was gorgeous food.
As for the local facilities, in the village of Hartland Point (about a 5 min drive away), there was a post office with a cash machine (although be warned it charges for withdrawals), a fish and chip shop, a convenience store with essentials, and a pub with very good nosh!
There was plenty around to do. The campsite is a very short drive away from the Atlantic Highway, which has loads of attractions along it. The Atlantic Village shopping centre is well worth a visit as everything there is very reasonably priced. Also the milkway is brilliant for families or fun loving adults (my OH and I aged 18 and 19 had a whale of a time). Also there is a massive Asda there, with everything you could possibly need.
Overall, it was an amazing holiday, made perfect with this friendly, and stunning campsite. 10/10!
