Syntes om: We were with friends who had a dog so were put in dog field , only one other camper in the field so loads of room . Loved the camping kitchen / shed . Would be really helpful if raining. Kids like being able to charge phones in the shed. Owners very friendly and showed us around the whole site . Clean bathrooms.

Syntes ikke om: Could have bbq off ground but not able to turn it into a fire - would have liked that option as our bbq is also a fire pit .

Fra bestyreren: We have a Fire Pit area specifically for open fires.. There was even a wheelie bin with (free) wood in it next to the Fire Pit during your stay.. near where your friends with the dog were pitched and near where your kids were charging their phones - the Campers Shelter.. You know..the one with the Free Tea & Coffee, Free WiFi and Free Phone Charging, Free Microwaves, Free fridges, Free Freezer, Free Hot Water, Free Washing Up Liquid, Free to borrow Hot Water Bottles, maps, corkscrew, tin opener etc, You know, the wooden building opposite the Free Hot Showers.. You know the Free Hot Showers with no timer and no annoying button to keep pushing in, so you can stay in there till you melt. - The Owners are very friendly and available 24 hours a day if you have a problem - any problem - (free of course) As stated in the listing you booked from.. BBQ's off the ground are fine using the newly purchased lightweight bricks we provide (free) but for your safety and the safety of others we do not allow open fires in the camping fields. Apart from the fire danger it's not fair on other campers suffering smoke inhalation downwind!

Syntes om: Lovely quiet little site with great amenities, level pitches and friendly owners. Enjoyed long dog walks in the dunes nearby and sunsets.

Syntes om: Gorgeous camping spot! Exceptionally clean, with the owners always working on the land/amenities to keep it up together. The place is exactly as described. Not overly packed with campers, leaving the middle part of the field for children to play safely. It was the little extra's the owners added which really ticked the boxes for us - a separate enclosed area with a table and benches, x2 kettles (free tea, coffee & sugar available if needed) ceramic mugs - which was amazing as we had forgotten to bring our kettle and a mug each!), x2 fridges, x2 freezers, hot water bottles, a torch, plus a bottle & can opener. I even saw some mallets hung up, if anyone forgot to bring one. Hot water provided for showers & washing up sinks. The showers & toilets were always kept clean. I loved the way the owners covered the outside to make them look more natural within the environment. The owners were very friendly and happy to help in anyway they could. The wife puts in a lot of effort to make the gardens pretty, with various sweet smelling flowers when you walked through. I spoke to a few different people staying on the campsite and everyone was very pleased and happy with the place. A lot of thought & love has gone into this lovely little campsite. You really feel like you are nestled in someones home. Little note to say: The family also own a surf shop in Crowd (Little pink shop?), where they offer 20% discount to camping customers on hire equipment. We needed wetsuits and their son was extremely knowledgable & friendly! We came away with a C-skin wetsuit each from the sale. Happy :)

Syntes ikke om: It's not a dislike as such, but campfires are not allowed by the tent (states in description).. However, saying that the owners did try to compensate by having a communal camping fire area. They made a lovely spot amongst the garden, although it was a little too windy for us to use it- I can see they have planted some trees, which will act as a wind breaker later on. Well done! I had a chat with the owner about it, and in fair, he has spent a lot on keeping the grass maintained - Grass is rich, no stones, no dry/burnt areas, perfect for camping on!

Fra bestyreren: Thank-you for your incredibly comprehensive review! Glad you liked what we have built here. It is many years hard work by just the two of us and it's so nice to get such appreciative feedback. The Garden with the Fire Pit area has just recently been cleared of wayward plants and undergrowth, this has opened it up into a much nicer place. Plans are to put some picnic tables there in the future. As you say, we have already planted a Copper Beech hedge, this is already growing at an alarming rate! Yes our Son does an amazing job in our Surf Shop in Croyde (The Pink one). Don't forget our Kids Wetsuit Trade-in scheme for when they grow. There is no time limit so they can always be in the right size Surf Company quality branded suit without breaking the bank, unlike most of the cheap throw away junk for sale all over the place these days!

Fra bestyreren: We have heaps of space for kids to play! Rounders, Cricket, even kite flying we see it all on site.. We also have 4 square miles of Dunes and 7 miles of beach on our doorstep. We also have Soft Play and BMX Pump Track just half a mile in the other direction. We do not have kids play equipment on site if that is what you are referring to but what we do have or have not can be found on our listing before you book. If your own hose was too short to reach the tap you were trying to connect to we do have several taps and hoses including a very very long one indeed. We have over half an acre of gardens to irrigate and it's very easy to fill built in water tanks from the tap/hose in the car park next to the bungalow or from the tap next to the Fire Pit. We are here to help with any problem, just please ask if you are not sure about something.. we usually have a solution!

Syntes om: Friendly welcome. Very family friendly. Good facilities. Great location for Saunton Sands.
