The Big Sheep

Adventure Camping is a spacious 35 acre site set in the grounds of the Ultimate Adventure Centre, just over a mile from the centre of Bideford, and nestled  in the beautiful Devon countryside (with views encompassing the rolling hills and the stunning coast).

The whole family can relax at our laid-back family site, surrounded by North Devon beauty!

Within walking distance of The BIG Sheep,  Adventure Camping is just a five-minute drive to Westward Ho! beach;  and a 15 minute drive to Barnstaple town centre.

There’s a whopping 35 acres of space to play with here, so plenty of scope to play games, take strolls around the lake or light up a barbecue or firepit to chat with pals. Plus the pub is just a short walk away!
