Bantham is one of them. Welcome to Higher Aunemouth Farm, a small family-run campsite just a short walk from Bantham Beach — surrounded by rolling countryside and overlooking the beautiful Avon Estuary.
It’s honestly like stepping back in time. Looking across to Burgh Island, you can almost imagine you’re in an Enid Blyton story, searching for Kirrin Island.
Forget the Noise
Forget noisy holiday parks and packed entertainment schedules. Here, days begin with birdsong, mornings are spent on the beach or in the surf, and evenings end around the campfire beneath a sky full of stars.
Higher Aunemouth has welcomed campers for generations, and while plenty has changed around us, the simple pleasures of camping haven't. Pitch up in one of our three camping areas, each offering its own unique character.

One of the best things about staying here is that you can leave the car behind. A scenic walk along the Avon Estuary takes you into Bantham village and on to one of Britain's most iconic surfing beaches.
Spend the day surfing, paddleboarding, swimming, exploring hidden coves or simply relaxing on the sand before wandering back as the sun begins to set. It's little wonder so many guests return year after year.
