What customers say
This park offers stunning views and friendly staff. Guests frequently praise the clean facilities, enjoyable clubhouse, and good food. The location is ideal for exploring local areas, with a bus stop at the entrance. However, several reviews highlight issues with the touring/camping pitches, describing them as uneven, poorly located within car parks, and prone to waterlogging. The toilet and shower blocks are also frequently mentioned as dated and in need of an upgrade.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Site has lots to do and is in a great location. Had plenty of space on the pitches, was only 5 pitches altogether. Lovely little cove that is accessible from the site privately.
Disliked Toilets and showers are looking abit tired, not sure if this is because there isn't many touring anymore.

Would not recommend it to anyone
Electric grass pitch
Liked The club house was nice staff were friendly. The views were absolutely breathtaking
Disliked The pitch was a bit of grass in the middle of a car park and for the price of the pitch very disappointing. The shower and toilet block smelt and was long over due an up grade. It was really dinged and not all of the lights worked.

very nice site in a good location Shame about the toilet block
Electric grass pitch
Liked Campsite was very well looked after and clean
Excellent location for coombe Martin and ilfracombe and surrounding areas
Bus stop right outside entrance
Disliked Toilet block facilities worst I have had in 15 years of touring . Went for a fortnight stay , no soap in hand dispenser no bins emptied for full duration of stay ( asked for soap to be put into dispenser at reception ) still no soap on departure
Nowhere to place clothing etc while in showers
Also could do with separate dog walk section , touring field very small for tents and caravan users but dogs from the static caravans and visiting cars fouling touring field , which children also use as a play area
Would not return purely because of condition of toilet block and lack of cleaning

Beautiful scenery and a nicet park. Camping facilities need an update
Electric grass pitch
Liked Beautiful view of the Devon coast. Nice flat even pitch. Friendly staff. Suitable pool area. Would stay again but not for more than one or two nights.
Disliked The toilet and shower facilities were quite poor. Smelt damp, very dark and extremely dated. I never saw them cleaned and the position of the block was not great nor close to the camping area.

Love the site, the location and friendly staff.
Electric grass pitch
Liked When we arrived the staff in reception were very polite and helpful, they had seen we had booked two pitches at different times and put us together which was extremely kind, we had a great stay the site was clean and welcoming, pitch sizes were large. We had a lovely stay.
Disliked The only thing that could have made it made it better was to have an extra hook in the showers and a seat.

Not recommended
Electric grass pitch
Liked the staff were friendly and helpful
the location is great - easy walk to local village and beaches
the club entertainment was good
Disliked the park is not realy geared for motorhomes. limited grass pitches, sloping and surrounded by statics.
the showers were basic - no seating, one hook on the door and a rusty towel rail. the toilets didn't flush.
there is wifi but you have to pay for it.
