What customers say
This is a highly recommended, friendly, and well-run campsite offering stunning sea views. Visitors consistently praise the immaculately clean, modern toilet and shower facilities, with many describing them as the best they've encountered. The spacious pitches, welcoming atmosphere, and helpful, accommodating owners contribute to a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The site is also noted for its good location for exploring local attractions and coastal paths. While access roads are narrow, this is a minor consideration for most. Food vendors visiting the site are a popular bonus.

Liked Perfect location to explore North Devon, a lovely walk to get on the coast path and to a great pub in the nearby village! Great amenities, clean site, very peaceful with gorgeous sunsets, and very friendly and welcoming! Loved the single person discount- thank you

From the manager: Thank you Sian for your lovely review of our campsite. We'd love to welcome you back!
Good stopping over place for someone walking the coastal path.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked I liked that the farm site was accessible via a footpath from the southwest coast path. I was able to hike in ok. This is a small site on a walking farm that does not feel commercialized but still has the required facilities. The toilet/shower block is new and modern with underfloor heating. I liked how the radio was playing in the block and often found myself singing along.
Has reduced rates for a walker hiking in with no car.
Very friendly and helpful.
Disliked I wasn’t keen on it being on top of a hill but I knew from the contour lines in my map that that was what I was walking into , and it was worth it.
