Wonders Corner
Camping and coffee in the beautiful Devonshire countryside
The Campsite
The 2023 season starts on the 1st of August
A small campsite in the lush farmland area of North Devon. Our gently sloping three-acre field offers a small number of pitches meaning you have ample room to enjoy the open-air whilst remaining safely distanced from other campers. Our field is for tents only, with no vehicles access to the camping ground, to allow a peaceful and calm experience.
The campsite field is sheltered, but the farm is easy to find with shops, pubs, and restaurants only 10 minutes away in the vibrant market town of Great Torrington.
You won’t be short of activities with the fantastic surf of the North Devon coastline 20 minutes away, walking on the Tarka Trail less than 5 minutes’ drive, and the majestic tors of Dartmoor and Exmoor just over half an hour's drive away!
Our on-site coffee shop can provide you with hot and cold drinks and snacks
Come stay with us!

Wonders Corner Coffee
A few local activities
180 miles of easy excercise!
The renowned 180 mile Tarka trail, perfect for your easy family walk is less than a 5-minute drive away from our site. Along this paved walkway, are many cafes, lovely views, and natural landscapes such as rivers and streams, providing plenty of entertainment for dogs and kids of all ages!! It is perfect for cycling and cycle hire is available in the local market town of Great Torrington.
The all-rounder beach!
Westward Ho! is a seaside village around 20 minutes from our site. The village boasts great restaurants, an arcade, a sea pool, and a surf school. The beach, which joins with Northam Burrows is an excellent surf sport, with its 2.5km expanse of the perfect sand-castle sand backed by a pebble ridge, supported by lifeguards in the summer months. Northam Burrows is also dog-friendly!
A calmer day out!
RHS Garden Rosemoor is a public display garden run by the royal horticultural society. Less than 15 minutes from our site, the 65 acres planted garden is surrounded by over 100 acres of woodland and features paths, cafes, and sculptures.
Perfect for your promenade!
Instow is a very pretty, sandy beach just over 20 minutes from the site. It features a long beach overlooking the village of Appledore and is also a stop along the Tarka Trail. This is our dog's favourite walking spot and regularly has other woofs playing together on the sand. Along the promenade are bars and restaurants where you can sit to watch the sunset.

Marmite
Marmite, our rescue cat, is the clumsiest little creature! He is super cuddly and then runs away super fast, but always a lovely boy!
2022 has been a challenging year for us
2022 has been a mix of emotions for us.
It was great for our property; progressing on developments for the annexe allowed Simon's mother and the girls' grandmother, Merial to move into our home; we were given a grant to plant trees in our fields; and the solar panels and air source heat pump ensured our house was good for the environment.
Sadly, the second half of 2022 was awful for our family.
Cotton, our farm cat who has been spotted by our campers in the past, died in early October.
Grandma Merial passed on the 10th of December in her annexe.
We miss them both terribly and hope that they may rest in peace.
