Why stay here ...

We are open for the summer season.

Twitchen farm would like to welcome Caravan Club members back for the 2023 summer season.

We are a small family farm on the outskirts of Woolacombe, North Devon with an on site certified location that has been operational for over 50 years. We have 5 pitches available to members, each with access to an electric hookup and drinking water. Hard standing is available on 3 of our pitches on a first come first serve basis.

We have on site bathroom facilities with £1 coin operated Mira showers.

Our site is based on our small family farm.

We are situated just off the A361 via a short, single track lane with signposted entry straight to your pitch. Access to the campsite is via our shared access for the farmyard so we ask all our guests to please drive carefully and be mindful of any operations that may be carried out during your stay.

We are approximately 3 miles from Woolacombe Bay, a world class surf break and family friendly beach offering a full lifeguard service, surf lessons, convenient parking and amenities along with beautiful scenic walking routes. We are positioned in a well accessible location, with a convenient bus stop at the end of our driveway. We are 5 minutes from the nearest major supermarkets with other convenience stores a short car or bus journey away. We have many eateries, including Michelin star restaurants, in the nearby towns of Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Braunton, with “The Depot eatery” a convenient 1 minute drive away (walking not advised). Nearby areas of interest include Woolacombe Bay, Croyde Bay, Ilfracombe, Exmoor National park, Arlington Court, Lynton and Lynmouth, Plus many more suited to both children and adults.

We welcome friendly dogs, and ask that they are kept on leads when outdoors. We have restricted access to on site walking routes due to livestock, but are happy to advise you on nearby routes we are sure you will enjoy.

First stay

Twitchen Farm
First time at this site. Every part of our visit was very relaxed, from arrival, to set-up, payment. Facilities (2 x toilet/showers) were not ultra modern but were clean and functional. How and where you set up seemed to be very relaxed/informal, which suited us fine as we were unsure of our predicted arrival time. I phoned ahead to say I might be arriving late and was assured it was not a problem and to just drive in and set up where I wanted. Hassle-free camping with all ameneties to hand. Will be returning when next in that area.

Twitchen Farm
We stayed 2 nights on this convenient farm just off the junction to Woolacombe and Illfracombe (A391). Coming from Braunson, the CAMC sign is not visible but farm sign is and directions in book are good. The turning up to the farm is narrow and steep with a bend in the lane, a bit daunting first time but this road only leads to the farm so traffic is minimal. On leaving the site I did walk ahead of the motorhome to the bend to ensure nothing was coming up, very easy to do. The site is a large field, though a bit windy. Pitches are grass and a good size but need blocks. Facilities are easy to find and although we didn’t meet the owner, they were very helpful via phone and friendly.
