What customers say
This basic but spacious campsite offers great value and fantastic views, with a short drive to beaches like Saunton and Croyde. Guests appreciate the freedom to pitch anywhere and the quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Facilities, including hot electric showers and clean toilets, are generally well-maintained, though some mention they are basic. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, with the owner's personal touches noted. Some visitors suggest improvements to the washing-up area and grass length.

Basic, but pleasant enough campsite
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The field offers nice views, has bats swooping overhead and was more than half empty (which may or may not be a positive). The showers were hot and free. I got a friendly greeting from young Eva on arrival - despite the lateness of the hour.
Disliked For what you're getting, the cost is high. The showers and toilets are in container units and are a bit rough. Presumably because the bins were at the entrance, there was a rubbish heap near the loos that had overspilled/been scattered by the wind/been scavenged by animals. The rough-mown grass poses a threat to tent floors and inflatable sleeping mats that one expects with wild camping - a full-price campsite should probably do a bit better.

Basic but everything you need - perfect for our campervan stay
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The amount of space we had in the field and the views across the fields and dunes. The facilities are basic but they were clean and the electric showers always delivering hot water. Even the wash up sinks, although outside had warm/hot water. We were treated to swifts and swallows and later on bats diving low across our camp. Lovely helpful staff in the shed reception all day. Was able to charge my phone and freeze ice blocks.
Disliked Shower unit is stood in a field so expect insects and cobwebs but it could of done with a bit of a sweep out. The actual toilets/showers etc were always clean though.

Great value and very clean
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Great little campsite, toilets and showers very clean with plenty of hot water at no extra charge.
Was greeted at the entrance by a friendly young man who checked our booking and told us we could pitch up whenever we wanted to.
Just a short walk into Braunton where we had a great evening checking out the local pubs.
Really nice not to have the regimented campsite Gestapo checking up on us every hour as you get on so many sites these days .
Thank you Fairlinch camping for enabling us to have a fun weekend , hope to return very soon 👍🏼

No frills, reasonably clean, very spacious site with great showers.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Amazing value for money.
A third of the price of the site next door that was rammed out with barking dogs, screaming kids and drunk "adults"(!)
This site is basic, but a HUGE area and you can pitch up anywhere you fancy on it too.
My nearest "neighbour" was 100 yards away., perfect.
Showers are spot on, individual electric showers and unlimited time in them.
Not those mean push button set ups you get these days.
The owner is a true Gent. and popped by on his quad bike to say "hello".👌
Disliked Nothing.
But maybe a canvas type gayzeebra erected over the washing up area might be a decent idea for when it puts the liquid sunshine down eh?
