Higher Well Farm Holiday Park is a quiet, family-run touring and camping park on a working farm at Stoke Gabriel, near Totnes in South Devon. The park sits in around 15 acres of rolling Devonshire countryside less than a mile from Stoke Gabriel village, which has a pub, riverside cafe, shop and post office on the tidal reaches of the River Dart. Paignton and the English Riviera beaches are about 4 miles away, with Torquay and Brixham roughly 6.5 miles on, and Totnes, Dartmoor and the South Hams all within easy reach. Pitches suit tents, tourers and motorhomes, many with electric hook-ups, and the park also keeps static caravans for hire. A dedicated dog-walking field means dogs are genuinely welcome. This is a spot for people who want space, farmland views and quiet evenings rather than clubhouses and nightly entertainment, so anyone after a lively resort park should look elsewhere. Being a working farm, there is a real countryside feel within a short drive of the coast. The park opens for the main season from late March to the start of November, and pitches are booked directly through Higher Well Farm's own booking system.
Are dogs allowed at Higher Well Farm Holiday Park?

When is Higher Well Farm open?

How far is Higher Well Farm from the beach?
Paignton and the English Riviera beaches are about 4 miles away, with Torquay and Brixham roughly 6.5 miles from the park. The site itself is inland countryside near the River Dart at Stoke Gabriel, not on the coast, so a short drive is needed to reach the sand.
Can I bring a tent, or is it caravans only?

Is Higher Well Farm suitable for a lively family holiday with entertainment?
No, this is a quiet countryside park with no clubhouse or nightly entertainment. It suits families and couples who want space, farm surroundings and easy access to Torbay's beaches and Totnes. Anyone wanting an all-action resort with bars and shows should choose a bigger park.
