Fishleigh Barton Camping

Fishleigh Barton Camping is located amidst stunning North Devon countryside, set on a working farm just 6 miles south of Barnstaple, and with easy access from the A377. Perfect for motorhome enthusiasts, the experienced owners of this site offer an experience which is full of peace, tranquillity and lots of local wildlife.

Stroll down the lane to catch a glimpse of a kingfisher or heron by the River Taw, or spot deer and buzzards from the farm. Thoughtful facilities such as two mains taps, flushing toilets, a shower, dog-walking area, washing-up area and firepit make your stay infinitely more comforting. Please note that barbecues are welcome but must always be in the designated firepit/campfire area.

The solar-powered shower is heated by special tubes, and the owners are proud to explain how this technology works. Be aware that this is a rural site and therefore not highly manicured – the nearest shops and pubs can be found in Umberleigh (5 minutes away) or Barnstaple (15 minutes drive).
