Camping

In recent years, Caffyns was an accredited Camping and Caravanning Club site until the then owners decided to end this side of their business. Now we own Caffyns, we are committed to re-establishing the site and going much further in providing new facilities and attractions for campers, tourers and caravanners.

Although Caffyns is set high up overlooking the Valley of the Rocks and the coast, it is relatively sheltered from the prevailing south-westerlies. We're not saying you will not get any wind up here, but all our camping fields have mature, high hedgerow boundaries which offer both privacy and a certain degree of weather-proofing! What is without doubt are the breathtaking views and space here. The wildlife is also quite something; you can regularly wake up to red deer on the hillsides, herons in the fields and buzzards riding thermals overhead.

The sheer 136 acre size of Caffyns means we can offer several areas within the property for camping, from secluded and very sheltered to out in the open with huge panoramic views to sea and over the Valley of the Rocks. As you can see from the pictures opposite, our fields are very spacious and almost completely flat, something everyone has commented on. We have five main fields, two of which are ideal for family camping as they are close to all facilities, well sheltered, and completely enclosed, giving children ample space to play, but allowing parents to keep an eye on them! And while on one hand, we can accommodate very large groups with absolutely no impact on other campers, if you like secluded camping, we have ample space for that too!

We have good facilities already - hot showers, modern toilets, fridge/freezer and washing up facilities - and we have a good range of everday camping supplies. We will also be adding extra facilities over the summer.

While at Cloud Farm, we became well known for running campsites with a very relaxed atmosphere; this is also certainly a key part of staying at Caffyns. We believe that staying outdoors is a freedom that should be as free of rules as possible. To that end, we allow campfires in all our fields (we have stocks of firestones in each field) and polite dogs are also welcome. We are also very flexible about camping arrangements and will happily take visitors on a day-to-day basis. This is often the best way given the unpredictable nature of the Exmoor Weather!
