  • Award-winning park in a wooded valley and wildlife haven
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde Bay
  • Play parks overlooking gardens and lake
If life’s little stresses are getting you down, flee and hide away in this award-winning park in a Devon wooded valley. From your doorstep at Hidden Valley Park all the highlights of north Devon are within easy reach: the famed beaches of Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde Bay are no more than 15 minutes' drive away, and family days out at The Big Sheep are about half an hour from the site. But this pretty place is so secluded you'll feel like the world outside doesn’t even exist (which is always a win…). There's no need to leave the grounds until you're fully perked up, with plenty of peaceful options including wandering along the stream running through the park, lazing about the lakeside area, or taking a woodland walk to spot kingfishers and otters. Take a tramp through the forest then come back to relax around the gardens and lake – there’s wifi access too so you can load up your phone/tablet and studiously avoid catching up on work. Which is also a win… Kids and dogs can hide away too, as there are two play parks for the youngsters and the park is dog-friendly. Amenities include luxury shower and toilet blocks with hairdryers and underfloor heating, full disabled facilities, a reception with tourist information, a licensed shop and a launderette. Once it’s time to venture off site, a bus stop is just outside the entrance to the park.

Anais I. 1 review

Electric optional grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked Me and my partner have come to this site 2 years in a row now. We love how we requested a specific pitch and the staff accommodated this. The showers are cleaned regularly, there is washing machines and tumble driers for a small fee and bins stationed throughout the site. The whole place is just beautiful; not an ounce of litter, the grass is kept and the trees are maintained which is lovely as the site is surrounded by them! The staff are wonderful and really helpful. We cannot forget to mention Kit Kat, whom is a long term resident at the site - she is purrrrrfect.

Disliked The restaurant could serve food slightly later than 7pm. Although, this is a personal preference as people who eat later.

A wonderful first camping experience we’ll definitely be back!

 Ness L. 1 review

Electric optional grass touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch (large)

Liked We had such a lovely stay at Hidden Valley Park in Ilfracombe and, as first-time campers, we really couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

The site is in a fantastic location, with Ilfracombe and the surrounding North Devon attractions all within easy reach, while still feeling peaceful and tucked away. It was also brilliant having somewhere that was so welcoming to our four dogs.

The facilities were honestly exceptional. I have never stayed at a campsite with facilities that were so incredibly clean. Everything was clearly very well cared for, which made such a difference, particularly as we were completely new to camping.

We did have a bit of a mix-up with our reservation, we booked through Pitch Up, but Carol, the owner, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly accommodating, kind and understanding, and went out of her way to help us. As first-time campers, having someone so friendly and helpful made us feel really looked after and took away any stress from the initial mix-up.

Sadly, we had to cut our stay short because of a family emergency, which was such a shame as we were really enjoying ourselves. Even though we were only there for a short time, we came away feeling that we had found somewhere special.

Thank you so much to Carol for making our first camping experience such a positive one. We will definitely be back hopefully next time for a much longer stay! ❤️

Electric optional gravel touring pitch (large)

Liked A peaceful site with great amenities and space. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Perfect for couples, families and those with pets who don't mind getting back in the car to get to any of the wonderful local beaches.

Disliked We could hear the road traffic from our pitch, although this was only slight and we were in the closest row of pitches to the road.

Local attractions

Hidden Valley is four miles from two of Devon’s best-known beaches, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, five miles from the surfing mecca of Croyde Bay and six from a family day out at the beach of Saunton Sands. The areas around all these are well worth a look, but the Victorian harbour town of Ilfracombe is a must for bucketloads of boat trips such as punts out to nearby Lundy Island, the seafront with the Landmark Theatre, and St Nicholas Chapel on Lantern Hill, where a light has shone over the harbour for over a thousand years. Bring a torch for a walk to the Ilfracombe Museum and Tunnels beach, reached by tunnels through the cliff. Many family attractions close by for all weathers, including Exmoor Zoo (25 minutes' drive) and The Big Sheep (30 minutes), while sprogs will probably also like spotting ponies in the Exmoor wilderness, getting creeped out in the dungeon labyrinths of Watermouth Castle (20 minutes) or taking to the skies in the rides at the Milky Way Adventure Park, 45 minutes away at Bideford.
