Absolutely loved our stay in Texas! The bus was fully equipped, very comfortable and a real eye catcher.. there’s everything you need for a lovely getaway! The children miss it already! Owner is brilliant at responding and answers any questions you may have. The camp is very well done and very friendly, the owner took his time with the children making sure we had everything and we were happy with the bikes we hired. Cannot wait to revisit thank you!

The facilities were great, the owners were very accommodating and the bus was amazing. My boys loved it! It was such a treat, and it was a plus it has its own shower.

Great fun, has everything you need and great hosts. Comfortable and had everything we needed.

A fantastic place to stay! I can't fault this place!

Glamping in an unusual facility! The location is superb - very close to Woolacoombe beach. The view from the bus is stunning. The bed was very comfortable and cosy. Liked that it came equipped with cooking facilities which made breakfast making very easy.

Absolutely brilliant loved loved loved it! Totally unique, well converted and laid out

A lovely break in novel surroundings. Staff on site were very friendly and helpful and facilities (shop and food) were very handy. The location is fabulous and the bus was comfortable with its own fridge hob and shower. We would be happy to return.

A perfect getaway! Our stay at American School Bus Glamping was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the quality of the accommodation – the bus has been thoughtfully converted into a cosy, stylish space with everything a family could need for a comfortable stay. It strikes the perfect balance between quirky glamping and modern comfort. The service was fantastic – warm, friendly, and attentive without ever being intrusive. The owner was super helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. What really makes this place special is how relaxing and family-friendly it is. The peaceful surroundings and open space gave us the perfect chance to switch off, unwind, and spend proper quality time together. Our kids (and us alike) had an absolute blast on the zip wire, and the hot tub and sauna were a real treat – the perfect way to end a day of exploring. We left feeling refreshed and full of happy memories – highly recommended for any family looking for a unique glamping experience in North Devon!

American School Bus Adventure! We were looking for something a bit different and found the American School Bus - it definitely delivered! Lovely accommodation with some great features. The school bus is well kitted out with quality kitchen and dinnerware. Books and games are a thoughtful addition. Quiet campsite with clean well maintained facilities and a great view of the night sky. Friendly hosts happy to offer tips and advice.

Loved it! We only stopped for two nights. Wish we had stayed longer. Cannot find fault at all. Facilities are excellent. Site is brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Amazing and quirky idea for a place to stay! The school bus is such a fun place to stay. Knowing that years ago some kids were riding this bus to school daily and now we were sleeping in a converted version was so cool. It's been revamped really well. And very relaxing. Has a shower and a toilet and cooking facilities with fridge freezer. Everything you need for a self contained stay. The site it's on is really lovely too and quiet and relaxing. Would recommend and will come back in the future.

Lovely break! Brilliant base for a short break exploring Cheddar and Glastonbury, peaceful stay and lovely to have some screen free times. Bus itself was very funky and great places to eat and drink nearby. Would certainly come back.

Fantastic! We spent a great few days in the bus, exploring Cheddar, visiting Weston Super Mare and Bristol. The bus was perfect for us, teenage kids were very impressed and thought it was a cool experience. The campsite is great, helpful staff, clean showers and toilets, great shop! We had a lovely break.

Had a fab time, grandkids loved sitting in drivers seat.

5 Star experience! What a place everything you need, very clean great site with great facilities Can not recommend this place enough! We will definitely be back next year. Thank you for a lovely stay just what I needed

Great conversion of the school bus! The bus was really comfortable for a family of 2 adults with 3 children. Shower and toilet worked well. Outside area and campfire was very nice and we had a BBQ everyday. The site was well managed and although busy on the bank holiday weekend, everything was fine and we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was at night. The site has a small shop and there is fire wood available to buy.

Great Experience! We pulled up and saw the bus and my 11yr old couldn't contain his excitement. Instant love. Sat in driving seat within seconds whilst his brother was baggsying the top bunk bed. The beds are amazingly comfy - a lot better than mine at home. The back bed has a sign saying naughty corner which my boys found amusing. Brightly coloured and very high standard conversion. Everything there and easy to use. Shower in bus lovely. Site had food van on. Very family friendly. I enjoyed sitting out with a cuppa as watched my children play cricket with their new found friends. Great for families. Novelty factor is worth it. Cheddar 5min drive away, Mendip activity centre only 15min away. Definitely recommend.

Great accommodation! Great place with great staff nothing was too much trouble. Thanks to Jules for sourcing a bike for my son to use whilst we were there. The bus was great and the kids loved it. Thanks for having us!

Relaxing & fun at same time, forever memories made!!! It was fun & quirky! Great location. Relaxing. BBQ was a great addition. Staff were friendly & approachable & willing to help with anything. Very clean & well kept. Lovely place to stay. 11/10 Thank you.

Crazy whacky perfect stay !!! I loved each and every thing about this property! This place was so cool and unique - so much effort has gone into this bus to make it perfect - my kids usually sit on their phones and I don’t see them but on this little adventure they ran around outside made friends played games and socialised with us !!! It was fantastic - we cooked - we cuddled we roasted marshmallows round a fire pit we loved being a family again lying on the grass and actually having time for each other it was perfect - there’s enough room to invite the neighbours round and the views from the sofa were beautiful we often sat watching the sun go down outside or from the sofa bed it was stunning just the perfect little get away for us!

Great novelty factor which great for extended family and grandchildren Whilst being a bit of fun it was practical too. Great site amenities and location.

Very unique experience! Loved the overall style and feel of the bus and the fact that all the original controls/drivers seat have been left in. Our bus-obsessed toddlers were in their elements! Beds and bedding were comfy and warm. The campsite itself was peaceful (even when busy) and felt friendly and safe.

Totally awesome experience! Really stylish interior in the bus, comfy bed, fully equipped kitchen.

Booked as a pre school treat, a huge hit with the little ones. It’s been done up to a high standard, the beds are so comfy you might not want to leave.

We were there with our 4 & 6 year olds who loved the bunk beds and ‘driving’ the bus! The campsite itself is well set-up and the owners were really helpful.

We were only there for two nights, but have come back feeling very rested with the kids declaring, “This was the best trip ever!”

We had a fantastic time staying on ‘Texas’! It’s so well decked out and really comfortable to sleep in.

An awesome stay! Check-in simple, lots to keep you entertained, a BBQ & firepit to toast marshmallows. Very comfy beds, a full English breakfast & milk included!

We all had a lovely time - the bus was well fitted out. The actual beds were very comfortable & the duvets were lovely and warm!

The kids enjoyed sitting in the drivers seat pretending to drive the bus - this kept them entertained for most of our stay!

Highly recommended for an unusual stay which will keep the kids entertained!

Every last detail has been taken care of. From the top-notch bed linen & beautiful kitchen equipment to the 'Marshall Amp' fridge.
