Rainy cold bank holiday weekend. But other than that I can only praise this campsite.
1. Large well marked pitches (all with electric hook up's). We have an Outwell Nabraska XL and it fitted easily with plenty of room to spare.
2. Well sheltered site all fields surrounded by large hedges, so should be ok even in a stiff breeze.
3. Shower and toilet facilities, plentiful and well maintained.
4. Plenty of area's for the kids to play, with playgrounds and field areas. (Though the basketball court is grassed, rather unusual, hehe!)
5. Well stocked shop.
6. Pubs all with a different feel and entertainment put on.
7. Good games room and nice looking pool although we didn't try either.
8. Well positioned for a short drive to the beach and local towns.
I could go on, suffice to say I was well impressed and will go back if we do Devon again.
I would say that this is the sort of place to go if you want a comfortable and easy long weekend or week away with the family. There is plenty to do on site and very easy to get out and about. This isn't the sort of site for the rough and ready backpaker (but it doesn't pretend to be).
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here, if not the weather we encountered, but that's what you get on bank holiday's!

This is quite a large site - which is usually a no-no for us. BUT it was really great! We had a good flat pitch with plenty of space. Not too far from the loo facilities, which are well-spaced over the site. It was not noisy at night.
The bathroom facilities were very good - although, minor whinge, come on, again another site which has those press taps and showers so that you have to keep pressing in order for the water to flow. Surely it can be set to one minute - or at least 30 seconds? Some of the sinks, once you pressed the tap you didn't have time to put your hand under the water before it had stopped again! Charge a bit more if you must but give us enough water to clean our teeth! But overall great clean facilities.
The other facilities on site were great too, very family friendly. The Karaoke was .umm. Interesting, but then I definitely wouldn't say I'm a 'karaoke person'. And I didn't have to be in that bar as there were a few to choose from. The kids aged 9 and 10 had a whale of a time and had plenty of company. The shop is the best I've seen on a campsite with some of everything including toys and games, all the foodstuffs, some clothes, off licence etc. The playground etc was also very good. The pool was lovely.
Local attractions - you MUST visit Combe Martin Dinosaur and WIldlife park, see the wolves, feed the wallabies. The cafe in Combe Martin is good value for tasty food for the family. The beach is ok, the rockpools are nice. See a bit ore of the coast if you can, the hidden bits are stunning, as are parts of Exmoor.
All in all - I recommend this site, and will go back despite the fact that I usually prefer a small family-run site. I got the definite impression that people return year after year - this site is fairly unique in being big AND beautiful.

Stayed for two weeks August 2005 and 2006. The site is well organized and clean although we noticed last year that it's growing at an incredible rate. A field the children played on the year before is now covered in caravans. Pool a bit small for size of site but adequate. Shop excellent and caravan accessory and workshop could be useful. Children enjoyed the site and when we had a problem with a neighbour's unleashed dog fouling every morning we mentioned it to the office and it was sorted immediately. PS we were on the dog field. This was a worry at first as we had no dog ourselves but this was only spot available but no noise and all (but one) on leads. In fact we asked for this field on our return due to its proximity to play area etc.

What can I say about this site, apart from amazing. Everything that I read about this site (before i went) is all accurate. All staff on the site were friendly, and everyone else on the site keep the noise down after 22:00 hrs.
Stowford Farm Meadows is a nice place for all ages, we will definitely be returning to this site in the new year. All facilities are kept clean, nice and tidy. It is prety much in the centre of the major towns and cities in the area, such as Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, Combe Martin and Barnstaple, so you will never be short of things to do.
Also if you do go to this area around the start of August, you may want to go to the Combe Martin Carnival, which runs for a week, which is such fun to go to.
This site is quite a journey away from places in the Midlands, and places in the north, but it is but definitely worth the journey. We came from the East Midlands, near Leicester, and it was worth every mile, and we had an amazing holiday. Hopefully the start of many to come at Stowford Farm Meadows.

We have just returned from this site a day early, some of the reasons were the weather, but also the following things (1) having been told that they had only 1 pitch left we thought we were lucky to get in , it was on a bad slope and there were loads of free pitches on other fields and level ones at that ! (2) Teenagers roaming the site at 2am and 4am in the morning ( I know there parents needs stringing up) but the site should be able to sort them out. (3) It is very much a typical resort where they are heavy into commercialism charging £30+ per night then charging for every other function on the site including £1.25 for swimming pool. (4) JCB and diggers going up and down the road even on a Saturday !
Positives were very clean toilet/shower facilities and friendly staff.We will not revisit this site again we do like sites which are slightly quieter and less hectic, although this is a really popular site there are 5 or 6 fields full of touring caravans
