Camping and glamping on a working farm, with yurts, huts with hot tubs, and simple, spacious, sociable camping pitches

For city dwelling campers especially, there are few things that bring the reality of camping home as much as taking a stroll through a dewy early morning field to use a shower block. Pausing to inhale the clear air, still scented with the smoky fragrance of last night’s campfire, while watching the mist rising off the rolling fields, even the most jaded urbanite can’t fail to be stirred.

Westland Farm is the perfect place for such epiphanies: a beautifully tranquil glamping and camping site that looks out over a small lake surrounded by rolling, sheep-dotted hills. There’s a variety of accommodation too, ranging from back-to-basic tent pitches in a lush, grassy field to a brilliant shepherd’s hut set in a quiet corner at the top of the farm. Close to the loos and showers, and nestled next to a babbling brook, the shepherd's hut comes complete with a five-foot double bed and small child bunk bed and airbed (if you need it) – perfect for a family of four. Then there’s the giant yurt that comfortably sleeps six and a hand-built, grass-roofed Drover’s Hut (sleeping a further six and boasting its very own hot-tub), with a kitchen that houses a wood-fired oven and gas hob, set in its own private corner next to the stream. You can even snag a B&B room in the farmhouse if the outdoor life is not for you.

A beautiful spot, and perfect for both a romantic getaway and a family escape from the urban jungle, Westland Farm has a little something for everyone. Basic camper? Home-from-home glamper? Just pick the spot that's right for you.

Mooi gelegen, plaats genoeg, superdeluxe sanitair. Prima uitvalsbasis voor het exmoor park. Je mag vuur maken en kan er hout kopen. Het vlees dat ze verkopen is van goede kwaliteit, heel smaakvol. Nicky is heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Lovely location, 5* facilities
A really lovely natural site with the most amazing facilities! Very relaxed atmosphere and well organised but still casual. Nicky showed me round the farm and I met all the pigs and hens, even cuddled a chick 🤗. Will definitely come back here and would love to bring the grandchildren. We didn’t have great weather so went to Woolacombe for breakfast and some shopping on day one then the sun came out and we spent the day at Hele Cove then Combe Martin for some paddle boarding. Ate at the Old Station Inn (typical pub menu and great for families) and also at Nartnapa Thai Kitchen at Lynton which was fabulous. Also a bit of barbecuing.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time camping here. Beautiful location, the finest camping shower block I’ve ever seen and was so helpful and friendly. My daughter is mad on animals, especially horses. Nicky and family were great at getting her involved with the animals. We will definitely come again, highly recommended.

Had a great weekend here on the farm, best shower rooms I’ve seen at a campsite! The view is amazing and a number of beaches not far away. The owners dog Tug came to visit a lot and he’s very friendly and chill haha

From the host
We are on the edge of Exmoor National Park and close to some truly spectacular beaches, ancient market towns and country pubs, Westland Farm is a little piece of heaven we wish to share with you. We are a small friendly site, and wish to keep it that way always. We allow plenty of space for camping and all 3 of our glamping lets have plenty of space and privacy, there are no crowded fields even at the busiest times and some beautiful views of the countryside. We welcome families who we love to show our animals to, explain how they are kept and welcome help with feeding time. We encourage all children to collect their own fresh eggs for breakfast from our friendly hens. During the lambing season, which we plan around the Easter Holidays each year, guests are welcome in the lambing shed to watch and even help if they wish, there are often tame lambs to bottle feed and the more hands on types have even helped to bring new lambs into the world. There are several young people, who first came to stay with their families, who now have an ambition to become farmers themselves, due to having helped in the lambing shed during their holiday here.
