Why stay here ...
Crablake Farm is a long established CL site with over 40 years of operation. Open 12 months a year, the site is located in an old orchard offering level grass pitches (all with electric hook ups and WiFi) with plenty of space and open views over our working farm. Indeed at certain times of the year livestock will be in adjacent fields. With that in mind, well behaved dogs are very welcome but must remain on the lead on the site. There is ample walking close by on quiet country lanes.
Whilst on site you will see a good range of wildlife and if lucky you might see Cirl Buntings, a rare bird which we work closely with the RSPB to help. Within easy cycling distance you will also find the RSPB Nature Reserve on the Exe Estuary Marshes. Here you can wander enjoying the scenery and wildlife and also stop of at The Turf Pub located at the end of the Exeter Canal with stunning views over the estuary. The Estuary cycle path is also close by offering level cycling from Dawlish, through to Exeter and onwards to Exmouth.
There are also a number of excellent local Pubs to sample such as The Ley Arms and 7 Stars.
The site is easy to reach from the M5 and we are close to Exeter, the centre of Exeter is approximately 6 miles away. But despite this we are a very quiet and peaceful site with very little passing traffic. Indeed the main noises could well be from our livestock or tractors working in the fields around the site. This location is also perfect for exploring the nearby beaches or venturing up onto Dartmoor and Exmoor.

Lovely site but ........
This is a lovely peaceful site and as other reviewers have stated ideally situated for visiting places in the Exter area The reason for the "but" in the title is due to the condition of the Shower and wash-up area which were not really fit for purpose due to swallows... Show more

Loved it here
My first positive impressions were borne out by the overall experience over two days. The farm is accessed by a narrow country lane, and therefore nicely tucked away, secluded and peaceful. Its immediate surroundings are lovely. Grass pitches are dotted around among small trees and islands of unmown grass, making... Show more

Smashing Spot
A beautiful countryside spot where you feel miles from nowhere but you are not, so a total win win for us. All the previous reviews cover most things and we cannot disagree with. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the bird life including buzzards over the lovely open view of green meadows... Show more

Gerry you're a star
My car (with caravan) broke down on the A38 Exeter by pass and at around 7pm I phoned the farm to see whether they had a space so that the recovery firm could take me there for the night. Gerry was more than welcoming and I eventually arrived at... Show more

Enjoyable stay
A pleasant site in an orchard, grass well kept and tidy, but beware of the moles which have created pits! There is a bathroom, but we didn’t use it. It is advertised as £18 a night, but in reality it is £22 with the electricity charge, so budget for that.... Show more

Fantastic 10 Days
We have just spent 10 days here with the intention of cycling as much as possible. The Ex Estuary Cycle Route fits the bill perfectly. Mostly car free, loads of pubs to stop at and a very flat route. Both sides accessible either by the Topsham Ferry, or Exeter... Show more

Peaceful stay

We stayed in March so were a little nervous at the lack of hard standing but we were pointed to a relatively flat pitch and thankfully the rain was light. The site is beautiful, lambs were at our front door and there's electricity and water close by.... Show more

Motorhomers check first
Not really what we were expecting at Crablake Farm. Instead of pitching up on a lovely orchard, we were made to pitch in front of the large barn with no views. It had been raining so I understood the reason for this but it’s something motorhomers should be aware of.... Show more
