The Campsite
At Warcombe Farm Camping and Caravan Park
we will do everything possible to ensure your camping or caravan
holiday with us is a pleasant one. Our campsite is mostly
level. Many of our 260 camping and caravan pitches are now
separated by fences or shrubbery. Serviced pitches are individually
marked. We like our visitors to enjoy both space and privacy,
and ask all to pitch at least 6m away from other campers.
Other Campsite facilities at Warcombe Farm
Camping Park include:
- Calor Gas exchange service
- Freezer block hire service
- Chemical Toilet disposal point
- Tourist information & maps
- Private Fishing Lake and fishing tackle
hire
- Fisherman's Pitches - direct access to the fishing lake
(via pitch gate)
- New fenced children's' play area
- Campsite lighting
- "Pitch Plus" Pitches - containing own water
supply & waste water drainage
The campsite is as unspoiled as possible.
We have left natural rises in the ground, so that wherever
you look from within the site, the site looks in keeping with
the surrounding landscape.
There are neatly mowed "cut outs"
for pitching your tents, etc, surrounded by wildflower
zones and newly planted trees. This again gives a sense of
space & privacy for all our guests.
Our aim is to offer you a relaxing camping
holiday in North Devon, a camping holiday in beautiful surroundings
where you can relax and enjoy your holiday. We are always
happy to give you help and advice about what is on offer locally.
A few examples, but a far from exhaustive list, can be found
on our holiday attractions
page.
We welcome dogs - but they must be kept
on their lead at all times whilst on the camp site. We have
a fenced-off area for exercise, so your dog can run freely.
The surrounding area offers plenty of varied & interesting
walks for both you and your dog.
At Warcombe Farm Camping Park, we provide
you with a camping holiday in an area of outstanding natural
beauty. We hope that you will choose to stay with us soon!
The camp site itself is an area
of 19 acres. We also own an adjoining field of 14.5 acres.
The campsite has been extensively planted with trees since
our ownership. They have become well established, and provide
much needed shelter for the huge diversity of wildlife
that the camp site attracts.
Between the trees we have allowed
grass and wild flowers to grow freely. If you look closely
there is a huge variety of wild flowers, many of which are
quite rare. We will be continuing the planting program in
the coming years, and with the new pitches that we will be
offering for the 2005 season, there will be many more to see.

Fishing
Holiday in Devon?
The opportunities for a Devon fishing holiday
at Warcombe Farm are many and varied. Warcombe Farm Camping
and Caravan Park has its own fishing lake, open only to guests.
It is well-stocked with Carp, Tench, Rudd & Roach.
We have our own General Fishing Licence,
which covers usage by our guests - a personal fishing licence
is not required, you only need to buy a day ticket from us.
If you do not have your own fishing rod,
we have equipment available for hire from our own site shop.
Whether you are a keen enthusiast, or an absolute beginner,
why not have a go? For the welfare of the fish, beginners
must be supervised. During the summer months we are able to
offer fishing coaching/lessons if you are interested.
We can offer serviced Fisherman's Pitches
- situated next to the lake, with private direct access to
the water.
Sea fishing ... the coastline is never very
far away, deep sea fishing trips can be found in Ilfracombe
throughout the season, we would be pleased to advise.
The use of the fishing lake is exclusively
for our guests. A general rod licence is held which covers
the site - therefore you only need to buy a ticket from reception
to fish the water. We also have fishing tackle available if
you wish to hire it.
