 This campsite is in a beautiful location with the East Lyn river running along one side of the field. The area is good for walking along the coastal path, on Exmoor or around Watersmeet.
The owner was friendly and the price was reasonable.
Facilities are rather basic and I think that there may not be enough showers and toilets if the site was busy (I stayed at the beginning of September when there were only three tents including my own so I had no problem. )
There are pubs and a tea room nearby but it is necessary to drive to get to the nearest shops.

This site is perfect for the seasoned camper/caravanner who just wants basic, no-frills facilities at a great price.
The site consists of a couple of well situated fields next to a lovely river. You definitely get the feeling of being 'down on the farm' and away from it all in this lovely corner of North Devon.
Ray and is wife are very friendly and informal and everything is done on a very low-key basis.
The facilities are basic but clean and tidy, consisting of 2 showers (which are free!), 3 toilets and 2 washing up sinks. I agree with one previous reviewer in that I don't know if this would be enough if the site was full but it was ample for us in mid-June.
The surrounding area has an award-winning tea room and a hotel providing hot and cold meals. We did struggle to get meals at the hotel as they also had paying guests. However, there are enough pubs in the surrounding area which meant that this did not really present an issue for us.
Local walking routes are superb. I would suggest any keen walkers download the many maps from various online resources and go and explore, starting right outside the camp. The walk to Watersmeet and then down to Lynmouth via the Tarka Trail is particularly recommended.
Fishing facilities also seemed to be excellent, judging by the size of fish we saw being caught in the river.
If I did have one word of warning it would be for caravanners. This area is extremely hilly and not for the faint hearted! However any seasoned caravanner with a large motor should be able to cope.
So all in all, this is a great site with a homely feel, set in a lovely part of the country.

Popped down the road to this site (only 30 mins from home) as a last minute thing due to the great weather.
Pitched up right by the river with some friends (total 4 adults and 4 kids). It is in a beautiful spot nestled in a steep valley. There are no pitch markings you just roll up and pick where you want! There are some electric points at the back of the field but we did not need them for such a short trip.
The access to the river is quite steep so have to be wary with the little ones. There are 3 toilets and 2 showers, enough for the amount of people there that weekend but could be a problem when busier.
No shop or reception, just roll on in and Farmer Ray comes around and takes your money (seems to be no set prices - negotiate!) He will also supply logs for your camp fires!
Fantastic place in the sunshine - very relaxing, don't think it would be the same in the rain though!

I found this campsite on this site and am glad I did, I needed a stop off on my way to Cornwall and as it was last minute and the bank holiday I was struggling to find one.
This site is a simple turn up there was plenty of room and the owner soon turned up when I arived about 9pm we paid him £19 for the night with electric. We woke up in the morning a saw what a lovely spot it was, our daughter loved paddling in the river.
There are 3 toilets and 2 showers it was enough for the people that were there, but if it was busy it could become a problem having to wait, but they were all clean and tidy.
We stayed another night on the way back and if I'm down that way again I will visit again.
We didn't have any issues with the site at all a great campsite.

We´ve just returned from camping at Leeford farm, and it was a wonderful site.
If you want lots of mod-cons, it´s not for you, but if you want a lovely (flat) field next to a little river, in a very peaceful place in the valley, it was perfect.
There was a clean toilet block (3 toilets, a hot shower, and 2 washing-up sinks)and cost 6 pounds per adult, and 3 pounds for children, dogs free.
There was a pub 5 minutes walk down the road with Exmoor beer, a riding stables nearby, and all the walking or cycling routes you could possibly need.
Due to the river it´s great for older kids, but probably a bit of a worry if you`ve got very young ones. I recommend it.

We came across this lovely campsite last weekend and what a find!
The site covers two large fields beside the river just to the East of the village of Brendon. There are no formalities we just turned up and selected our own pitch and it wasn't long before the farmer and owner Ray Floyd appeared in his Land Rover to welcome us.
The site was nice and quiet in lovely countryside and there is a clean shower block and toilets with plenty of hot water and the grass was well trimmed, the whole place look natural but well looked after. Though we didn't use them we saw that there was electric hook up's. Ray was also happy to supply logs and there were no restrictions on camp fires
We found a pub within walking distance and there was a tea garden serving good grub, which had a BBC Countryfile Britain's Best Cream Teas award - they were yummy. The fishing village of Lynmouth is about three miles away and the Valley of Rocks at Lynton is well worth a visit.
We can't wait to go back and certainly recommend it!

We spent one night at this very basic site and had a great time. We pitched close to the river, and had a fabulous fire too. We walked into Brendon and had a very good evening meal.
On our visit the grass was quite long, which didn't bother us because the weather was dry. The site didn't have a shower, just a couple of toilets and sinks. As I remember no washing up facilities and just a shed where rubbish was kept (revolting) Luckily we were camped well away from this area.
It cost us £10 per night which was collected by 'Farmer Ray' a few hours after we had arrived, he seemed like a nice chap.
We would visit again but it would be a last minute decision if the weather is dry! The area is beautiful and the actual village is a very typical pretty Exmoor village.
