What customers say
This is a highly recommended, well-kept, small campsite praised for its excellent, quiet location within easy walking distance of Braunton's shops and pubs, yet offering countryside views. Visitors consistently highlight the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners, particularly Alan. Facilities, including showers and pitches, are described as clean, well-maintained, and good-sized. The adjacent cricket club is also a popular feature. Some guests noted that during peak times, additional toilet and washing-up facilities would be beneficial.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked This is a perfect little campsite. The owners are really friendly & helpful, even offering us their mallet as we forgot ours.
The toilets & showers were always clean as was the site.
It’s a great location as it’s only a short walk away from a selection of pubs & restaurants. There are also some lovely walks on its doorstep too.
We will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

Great stay
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We had a fantastic stay at this lovely little gem of a campsite. The views are beautiful, the owners are so welcoming and friendly, and the whole site has a really relaxed, welcoming vibe.
The location is perfect too – Braunton’s pubs, restaurants and fantastic fish and chip shops are all just a 5–10 minute walk away, so you can easily leave the car behind.
A real highlight was the Devon cream tea stall that came to the site on Saturday evening, which was the perfect way to top off our stay.
We’ll definitely be booking again and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a peaceful, friendly base in North Devon.

Liked Super easy location for Braunton and the beaches. They couldn’t have been more helpful throughout our stay. Nice for once to have a shower that doesn’t turn off every 10 seconds. Highly recommended.

Excellent little campsite. Great price and location,
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The campsite is in a perfect location if staying in the North Devon area. Close to the Braunton pubs and Tescos for supplies. But once at the campsite you have views over the Great Fields and the local cricket pitch. Gets the evening sun so great for relaxing and having a BBQ. BBQ's are permitted.
Croyde and the beaches are just a few minutes drive.
The pop up campsite has good facilities nice hot showers and a good washing up area. The family run campsite owners are great hosts and are very helpful. Good prices for a couple of nights stay.
We will be staying again in our camper.
