Mr c S. Aug 2024

Hazel Park non-electric grass tent pitch (overflow)

Liked: Quiet campsite with great views. Shower block was clean and Wi-Fi also at shower block which meant I could check my emails etc. If required. Friendly greeting on arrival.

Disliked: Due to being in overflow camp area the grass on the way to the toilet block was allowed to grow on foot paths which meant when it rains you ended up with wet feet unless you wear wellies which in August I didn't think to bring. There is also a small playground for the kids which requires some attention as some of the swings etc. We're broken and could not be used. The pitches in the overflow site were on a slight slope . There is a cafe on site which is a little run down and well over priced for what is available.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: First time camping so nothing to compare to.

Disliked: some power points weren't working so had to use next doors. only four toilets,and 10 minutes after being cleaned were soiled by some chimps Large family moved near by second day,shouting,loud music, They went out for the day,but as there are no staff here didn't want to take a chance on how bad they'd be at night ,so left after one day.

Mark B. Jul 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: The lake, the views the facilities.

Disliked: The time on the showers. The apparent lack of control in pitch control. Staff not ensuring you get what you have paid for. Great view and lake, but! We booked a weekend here with an electric hook up. Unfortunately we were unable to get the allocated pitch on the first night and weren't given an electric hook up as anither camper was in the wrong location blocking 2 pitches. The staff put us on a hardstanding for the night without electrics even though we had paid for it. They seemed reluctant to move the other motor home. A couple more campers on site had similar problems with the pitch allocation. I beleive the additional charge for accessing the lake for campers is a little expensive.This should be either included in the camping price or reduced by 50%

Local attractions

A scenic 45-minute drive across the moors will bring you to the sister villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, where you can catch the Victorian funicular railway down the plunging cliffs. Foodies will enjoy the gourmet shops and market in Barnstaple, or head an hour south to the pretty city of Exeter to check out its cathedral and underground passages dating back to medieval times.
