Cool Cow Camping
A genuinely off-grid Devon farm five minutes from South Milton Sands, with sea views from the bell tents and an honesty shop that regulars return for year after year.
Cool Cow Camping sits on a traditional working farm near South Huish, a short walk from the dog-friendly beach at South Milton Sands. Every pitch has a view: guests report beautiful scenery from all corners of the site, and the bell tents catch sea views that repay the off-grid trade-offs. There is no electric hook-up and no hardstanding, which keeps the field quiet and the crowd self-selecting.
The facilities are farmstead honest: hot showers, compost toilets, and an honesty shop that guests consistently single out as a highlight. The owners are friendly and present. Come expecting the texture of a working farm, not a managed campsite, and it delivers exactly what it promises.
Before you book
- The site can be tricky to find using the website directions alone; download the coordinates before you travel.
- Compost toilets are on the aromatic side in warm weather: pitch placement matters if that bothers you.
- No rules around noise are currently posted; check ahead if a quiet night is essential.
“One of those sites where the setting does the heavy lifting and the owners stay out of the way. If South Devon coast access plus genuine off-grid credentials is what you want, Cool Cow earns its loyal repeat visitors.”
