Beggar's Field electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Facilities are absolutely amazing. Toilet and showers are as clean as hotel. There are plenty of wash up area and dish washer for free. The view is beautiful and located just next to the Lynmouth. But it takes a few steps to get back. Highly recommended.

Bay View electric grass and gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great pitch, plenty of room and perfectly flat. Good facilities, consistently clean and well kept. Warm push showers and good size cubicles. The Airstream food vendor was great providing burgers and hotdogs plus chips and a range of cocktails and soft drinks.

Disliked Nothing not to like. It’s a hilly area so be aware it’s not suitable for those who struggle with mobility.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your spacious pitch, the clean facilities 🚿, and of course the Airstream food and drinks 🍔🍟🍹.

You’re absolutely right — the area is wonderfully scenic but can be hilly ⛰️, so your note will be really helpful for future guests.

We’re so pleased you had a great stay and hope to welcome you back again soon!

A really lovely short camping experience with our two young boys!

Beggar's Field electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything was brilliant. Best facilities we have ever experienced and super dog friendly. On site catering trailer served good food and cocktails and all the staff were excellent. The location is also wonderful, loads to do and a very relaxed atmosphere in the nearby towns of Lynmouth and Lynton. We will be back!

Disliked Nothing, it's all perfect!

Local attractions

Guests here have plenty of attractions and activities on their doorstep in and around Lynton and Lynmouth (five minutes' drive). For a novel way to travel between the two, try the funicular cliff railway that connects the twin towns. In the surrounding countryside, you can marvel at the geological formations of the Valley of the Rocks (10 minutes) or head out to the forest around Watersmeet (15 minutes) for waterfalls and an elegant Victorian tea room. Many head to this part of the country in search of outdoor pursuits, so sporty types may well be pleased to learn that Lynmouth Holiday Retreat is close to a stables (10 minutes), fishing lake (20 minutes) and golf club (40 minutes). To really get that blood pumping, hike some or all of the 14 miles along the coast to Combe Martin, a hilly stretch of the South West Coast Path that includes this trail's highest point. You may, of course, prefer a day lounging on the beach (and with beaches like these, who can blame you?). Top seaside towns nearby include Minehead, with its rockpools, and Ilfracombe with its castle and aquarium (both half an hour away).
