Smytham Holiday Park – A Tranquil Escape in the Heart of North Devon

Tucked away in 33 acres of beautiful parkland surrounding a historic manor house, Smytham Holiday Park offers a peaceful, family-run escape in the heart of North Devon. With a range of accommodation including camping, touring, glamping pods, holiday homes and luxury log cabins, it’s the perfect base for exploring this unspoilt region, from the rolling countryside to the nearby sandy coastline.

Guests can choose from an excellent variety of pitches to suit every preference. Standard, premium and en-suite touring pitches are available with grass, hardstanding and all-weather surfaces, each offering spacious surroundings and electric hook-ups. Premium and en-suite options include additional comforts such as drinking water, grey water disposal, TV aerials and even private bathroom facilities on your pitch.

If you’re after something a little more luxurious, the Scandinavian-style log cabins, both with private hot tubs, provide a stylish self-catering option for up to six people. Each lodge includes a fully equipped kitchen, a private veranda with BBQ facilities, and access to the park’s tranquil surroundings. For those wanting the charm of camping without the hassle of tents, the glamping pods at Smytham are a cosy, year-round option, now upgraded for 2025 with a fridge and TV for added convenience.

On-site, you’ll find a wide range of facilities designed to enhance your stay. Two outdoor heated swimming pools (open from May to September) are powered by ground source heat pumps, and perfect for relaxing after a day exploring. Families will love the games room, soft play for under-5s, playpark, and open fields for ball games. There’s a bar for drinks on the decking at sunset, a well-stocked shop for essentials, and regular food vans offering varied dining options in peak season.

Smytham is ideally placed for adventurers and nature lovers alike. Direct access to the famous 180-mile Tarka Trail makes it perfect for walking and cycling holidays, and bikes are available for hire on site. The holiday park lies within the UNESCO North Devon Biosphere and near an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so wildlife spotting, scenic hikes and coastal views are part of daily life here.

Nearby, you’ll find popular attractions such as The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Exmoor Zoo, and the beaches of Westward Ho!, Croyde, and Woolacombe. For those seeking local culture and charm, the historic town of Great Torrington is just three miles away, home to RHS Garden Rosemoor, Dartington Crystal and The Plough Arts Centre.

Smytham Holiday Park is also dog-friendly, with a designated 3-acre dog exercise area and dedicated washing facilities. Guests with electric vehicles are well catered for too, thanks to four on-site EV chargers. With a peaceful atmosphere that encourages outdoor play and family connection, there’s no noisy entertainment — just fresh air, space and freedom to unwind.

For a North Devon holiday that blends comfort, nature and genuine hospitality, Smytham Holiday Park is a truly special destination.

Guestbook reviews

Fantastic site which is well situated to explore North Devon. We had a glamping pod for 2 in the late May bank holiday. Facilities on site are excellent, a well stocked shop and lovely little bar in the evenings. Showers were hot, always one free and private. Always clean. Staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend this site and will be returning.

Smytham Holiday Park

We were very impressed with Smytham - the.development of the site is obviously a labour of love, with all the improvements being carefully thought out and well finished.
The new toilet block is immaculate and a credit to the management and staff. Simply put, you’ll have to travel a long way to find a better site.
We hope to be back soon.
