Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: What a stunning view! I only stayed for one night but got there for check in and was given a sea view right at the top - wow! Plenty of space on the pitch too which gave some privacy.
The catering wasn’t on while I was there but make sure you check their website out - there are pizza nights, curry nights and a Sunday roast! There was a cute little bar with cocktails and drinks plus a screen showing the football.
The toilets and showers were very clean and not too far away (I was probably the furthest person from them).
The man at reception was absolutely lovely which was well received as this was my first solo camping trip in a van I’ve only just purchased. Really appreciated such a friendly face when I was a little nervous!
I would definitely stay here again and hope to get a roast next time. Thank you!

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (sea view, sloping)
Liked: Our first time staying here and had a lovely time! The views from the camping field were amazing. The facilities were clean and the staff were friendly and approachable. The kids loved the goats and the park. There is plenty to do nearby aswell.
Disliked: The steps down to the beach are closed because of a landslide but that's obviously not the campsites fault.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (sea view, sloping)
Liked: Wgat a great experience we had in Watermouth Valley Camping Park!
We spent 3 nights there in our tent on a sea view slopy grass pitch. WE HAD AN AMAZING SEA VIEW FROM OUR TENT!
The campsite is very well organised, clean and cosy. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
There's a small shop with all essentials at the reception and coffee machine (£2 per coffee).
Toilets and showers were super clean all the time, but busy in mornings and evenings. Water was pleasantly warm :)
Every night different hot food was available: pizza, curry, jacket potatoes etc. Lovely small bar open every evening. Good prices too!
There's a great playpark for the kids; small football pitch, table tennis, kids' pool tables. Our both boys (9 and 14) loved it!
There are small phone/power bank charging lockers available too. £3 per day or £10 per weekend.
Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: We had a fantastic stay at this campsite! The location is beautiful and very peaceful, perfect for relaxing and unwinding. The pitches were spacious and well-maintained, with plenty of room for our tent and outdoor seating.
The facilities were clean and modern — the showers had great water pressure, and the toilets were spotless throughout our stay. We also appreciated the dishwashing area, although it would be great if the taps were updated to a single mixer tap instead of separate hot and cold taps. Changing these taps will help to save a lot of water.
The surrounding nature was stunning — ideal for hiking, cycling, or just sitting by the campfire under the stars.
Highly recommend this campsite for anyone looking for a well-run, welcoming place to stay. We will definitely be coming back!
Disliked: Dishwashing area taps.
