What customers say
Visitors consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners, clean facilities, and spacious pitches at this campsite. Its location is ideal for exploring Clovelly and the South West Coast Path. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a recurring minor concern is occasional road noise from the adjacent A39, particularly for light sleepers. Some guests also noted a charge for showers. Overall, it's considered a well-maintained and welcoming site.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews















Great little site. Clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Great people Karen/Nick, friendly. Whole site seemed friendly. Well behaved dogs weren’t told to be tied up which is also great.
Pizza night on Saturdays. Very trusting shop to help yourself to and pay using the float provided. Really nice touch (albeit a little marked up)
Disliked Not a complaint but, noisy and really fast road the other side of the hedge. Didn’t spoilt it for us as we’ll go again
Shower- happy to pay but would ask for continuous water not push button control. Again not a complaint.

Bell tent
Liked Very clean and tidy facilities, the bell tent was well equipped. The camping site was perfect for a short stay. There are swings for the kids, a little shop to buy essentials and it's very close to Clovelly.

Liked Large pitch. Helpful staff. Clean toilet and shower block.
Disliked Noisy road and difficult to find as using the post code sat nav took us to the wrong place. For anyone going there it’s opposite the old garage just off the roundabout. Take road to Clovelly and then immediately turn right.
