Welcome
We're delighted to introduce Jurassic Glamping, a small-scale, family orientated, luxury campsite on our smallholding in East Devon. With exceptional views over the Axe valley, you can enjoy a stay in one of our six large safari-style tents, each equipped with all the luxuries you would expect as part of a true glamping experience. Being only 10 minutes from the spectacular Jurassic Coastline we are ideally located for exploring the wonderful beaches, seaside towns and countryside of East Devon. At Jurassic Glamping we've created a luxurious yet laid back glamping site, somewhere low-key, quiet and child-friendly, where you can bring your dog and cook on an open fire in the evening.
We are also a great option if you want to get together with a large group of family or friends and celebrate a special occasion as the site is available for exclusive use hire. In addition to the 6 safari tents which sleep a maximum of 33 people we have a covered group eating area with a large BBQ. Stag and hen parties are welcome when hiring the whole site. Please contact us for special group rates.

Our Site
Our Location - The Coast
Our Location - The Countryside
In addition to all of the wonderful coastal attractions there are many great places to visit inland. The small market town of Axminster is only just over a mile from our site so is easily walkable down the bridle path which runs down the side of the property. Market day is Thursday where you can buy many tasty treats and there are lots of lovely cafes such as The West Country Higgler and the fabulous Community Waffle House in the marketplace which is open all day (Tue - Sat) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The River Cottage HQ is only a couple of miles away and runs a variety of courses throughout the year.
The nearby town of Bridport is a hub for artists and has many galleries and exhibitions as well as lots of wonderful shops and cafes, a perfect place to spend an afternoon. Also well worth a visit is Forde Abbey, a stunning 900 year old former monastery with extensive gardens which is only 15 minutes away. At Seaton you can take a ride on the Tramway from the coast up to the wetlands nature reserve and for the kids there is the brilliant Seaton Jurassic interactive museum and the Pecorama miniature railway in Beer.
