About Higher Aunemouth Farm

A basic but pretty camping site located ¼ mile from Bantham Beach, close to Thurlestone and Bigbury and 4½ miles from the South Hams town of Kingsbridge. Higher Aunemouth Farms campsite offers affordable rustic camping for tents, camper vans or caravans within easy reach of this beautiful stretch of the South Hams coastline in South Devon.

Facilities
There are four recycling toilets, commonly dubbed ‘long-drop’ loos. Don’t be put off! They are well designed and surprisingly comfortable. The loos are positioned over a 6ft hole in the ground into which the waste matter goes. With a scoop of sawdust thrown over, the matter gradually decomposes. As long as no non-biodegradable items go in, the loos are completely environmentally friendly.

No electricity we’re afraid, but there is a standpipe for water located near the entrance of the field and an outside cold shower which has a wicker fence surround for privacy.

Recycling and rubbish
We try to be as green as possible at Higher Aunemouth and bins are provided near the entrance of the site for food scraps, paper, cardboard, plastic, tins and bottles. There is also a bin for general non-recyclable rubbish. If you could dispose of your waste in the bins provided, we’d be very grateful. Black bin rubbish is expensive to dispose of so the more we can recycle the better, as this helps keep camping costs down.

BBQs
You are very welcome to have bbqs on the site but if you are using disposable ones, please grab one of the stone slabs piled up near the rubbish point to prevent the grass from burning. There are lots of trees in the field so please take care when having bbqs and properly extinguish it after use. Please, no open fires. There is a fire pit for general use; wood and kindling is available to buy on site. POLLARDS meats visit every evening 6.30-7pm. For orders please call 01548 811135

Arrival and booking
There are no designated pitches at Higher Aunemouth. Find a space wherever takes your fancy – in amongst the trees or on the main flat expanse of the field. Please call us when you’d like to come as the site gets busy during half terms, bank holiday weekends and school summer holidays, therefore booking is essential at these times. We also ask for a small deposit during the main holidays. (An answer phone is on if we’re out) We tend to come up to the site in the mornings and early evenings to say hello and take payment. Cash or cheque preferred please.

We have lots of families with young children staying on the site, we kindly ask that you respect other visitors and to keep noise levels to a minimum after 9.30pm.
