Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely little campsite. Grounds nicely kept. Right next to the cricket club for drinks. Nice and quiet and close enough to the village to walk within a couple of minutes

Disliked: There needs to be more toilets and while the toilets themselves where nice and clean. The rest of the area, cublicles and washing up area, where quite grubby. There are only 2 showers for the campsite and there was quite a queue in the morning and during our stay, 1 of them stopped working.

From the manager: We have taken your comments on board. Thank you for your feedback.

Conviently placed, friendly campsite with limited facilities

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Great position in the town next to the cricket pitch, we enjoyed watching a match. Nice hot free shower. Small site so quite peaceful and very helpful, friendly people helping to run it.

Disliked: Only one male and one female toilet with a chemical toilet at the end of the field to save a walk at night.

Local attractions

Away from north Devon’s surfing beaches, Lynmouth (40 minutes’ drive) is packed with cutesy fishing cottages and arty boutiques, and connected by a steep cliffside funicular railway to its smaller twin, Lynton. It’s also well worth checking out harbourside Appledore (35 minutes), known for its ship-building traditions and the North Devon Maritime Museum (a great rainy day option). You’re well placed for day trips around the rocky crags and moorland of Exmoor National Park (30 minutes), or pottering arounds the narrow streets of pretty, seafront Clovelly (45 minutes). Ilfracombe (15 minutes) is departure point for boat cruises to spot puffins and seals on Lundy Island, and for big nights out, try out the cosy pubs and indie restaurants in Barnstaple (15 minutes) for size. Travelling with younger kids? Take them to meet farm animals at The Big Sheep (30 minutes), see the model dinos and feed sea lions at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (25 minutes), or let them safely run off energy on Saunton Sands (10 minutes).
