Positiv - Great view from our pitch (Bay View).
- Very friendly staff, especially on check in. The gentleman walked me through everything I needed to know and where to find out pitch.
- The facilities were very well maintained.
- Plenty of spaces to do the washing up, plus the option of a dishwasher that only takes 5 minutes (no dishwasher tablets needed).
- Laundry room which takes coins only and has washing machine and dryer.
- A dog washing area.
- An enclosed dog field which is very big.
- The option to order fresh, hot pastries for the next morning and coffee.
- Every Monday they have a pizza fan which has a lovely menu and their pizzas are brilliant. You can buy soft drinks and dips too.
- On Friday through till Sunday they have a good van that does cocktails, milkshakes, burgers, hotdogs, and chips.
- Only a short drive from the beautiful Lynton.
- Best dog friendly campsite I've been to

Negativ - The shower room is very well maintained and clean but the showers don't stay on for very long and you have to press the button a lot.
- We were staying in a tent pitch and despite being quite some distance from the glamping pods, a big group arrived on the Friday and we're very loud even past the noise curfew of 10pm. Due to the reception being closed there was no one to mention this to and we were out early in the mornings and late back on the evenings. So the no loud noise after 10pm is hard to regulate.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for leaving a detailed and thoughtful review for us! 😊 It's lovely to know you enjoyed your stay – from the great views and friendly check-in to our facilities, dog-friendly spaces 🐾, and those little touches like fresh morning pastries and weekend treats at Eat at the Retreat 🍕🍔🍹. It really means a lot to hear it's the best dog-friendly campsite you've been to!

We do appreciate your feedback on the showers – we know the timed buttons can be a bit of a juggle and although this has been tweaked we may need to revisit the timings on some showers it seems🚿⏳. We're also really sorry to hear about the noise disturbance during your stay. While our reception is closed after hours, on check in it is made quite clear that we have an out of hours contact number where you can speak to a staff member should you run into any emergencies or issues such as noise disturbance past curfew.

Thankyou for taking the time to leave us such a detailed review! We hope we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon! 😊🌟

Positiv The facilities were excellent but the most lovely thing about the trip were the reception staff , they were so helpful and welcoming!
The site is beautifully maintained and the views are stunning and the location is superb.
The dog area is also lovely ☺️

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for the lovely review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the facilities, the views, and our beautiful location 🌿🏕️

A special thank you for the kind words about our reception team – they’ll be over the moon to hear that! 🙌 And we're glad you and your pup enjoyed the dog area too 🐾🐶

Hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay! 🌄

Positiv This campsite is situated in a beautiful area with stunning views of the surrounding hills, meadows and the sea in the distance. We liked the friendly and laid back atmosphere of the campsite. The facilities were very clean and the campsite was well managed. We would definitely recommend here and would stay here again.

We walked to Lynmouth from the campsite via the footpath. We found the footpath to be very steep downhill to Lynmouth. It was hard on our knees. We took the funicular up to Lynton from Lynmouth and then walked up the steep footpath from there back to the campsite. Although the walk is scenic, we personally found it rather challenging for our abilities. We are in our 60s. However, for more able bodied people, this may not be so challenging.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 The views definitely are stunning! And we also love the peaceful atmosphere – and it's wonderful to know you felt well looked after during your stay 🌿⛺

We really appreciate your honest feedback about the walk into Lynmouth. It is a beautiful route but we completely understand how the steepness can be tough on the knees, especially coming back uphill! 🥾⛰️ Taking the funicular up to Lynton is such a treat with those coastal views! 🚞

Thank you again for your recommendation – it means a lot. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Positiv Lovely welcome on arrival. Very friendly and helpful staff who were visible throughout our stay.
Modern and very well maintained facilities.

Negativ Location of site - you need a car or be very fit. Very Steep long walk from site into Lynmouth.
Late check-in of 2pm and early checkout of 10.30am. Not sure why they need at 3.5 hour turnaround for a touring pitch. Maybe it is something to do with offering you an earlier check-in or late checkout of an extra 1.5 hours for an extra £10. Bit naughty if you ask me.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your review! 😊 We're really glad you enjoyed the warm welcome, friendly team, and our modern facilities – it means a lot to hear that 🌟🚿

We understand your thoughts about the location – the hills around here can definitely be a workout! 🥾⛰️ That said, we think the peaceful setting and those stunning ocean and countryside views make it well worth the effort 🌊🌿 While we’d love to see a local bus route serve here one day, it’s sadly out of our hands at the moment.

Regarding check-in/out times, it is a necessity to allow enough time to ensure all pitches are properly prepared, grass is kept short, and the fast-growing Exmoor vegetation is tamed – all to keep the site looking its best for everyone 🌱✂️💚 The early check-in and late check-out options are there for guests who’d like a little extra flexibility ⏰

We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again sometime! 😊

Positiv We loved this site. The facilities were very good, kept super clean, plenty of space in the shower cubicles and plenty of hot water.
The staff were welcoming and helpful.
I was particularly grateful to the young man who made a special effort to help with some cycling routes for us. Cycling in the area is definitely a challenge but with power assisted cycles the route to Lynton is fine. We locked our cycles at the town hall in Lynton and took the funicular railway down to Lynmouth, which is well worth doing. The road into Lynmouth is extremely steep!
The site is on many levels and the grounds are very well maintained. I would say most of the pitches had lovely views: some more so than others.
There is a mobile food and drink van which does the normal takeaway food but also cocktails and milkshakes! We didn’t use the on site shop but it looked well stocked. We would be very happy to return to this site.

Negativ Nothing to dislike but it did take us a bit of time to level the motorhome on the pitch we were assigned. Probably our issue rather than the site’s!
Perhaps “keep dogs on a lead” could be more upheld as there were a number of dogs allowed to wander and i witnessed a dog run after a child, no harm done but could be frightening.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for the lovely and detailed review! 😊 We're so glad you loved the site – from the spotless facilities 🚿 to the friendly team, and those stunning views 🌄

A big shoutout to Dan who helped with your cycling routes 🚴‍♀️💪 – they’ll be really pleased to hear it made a difference! Great tip about the cliff railway too – such a fun way to explore Lynton & Lynmouth 🚠✨

We appreciate the feedback about keeping dogs on leads – we'll look into our current signage and see if we can make them more visible as we cannot always monitor the responsibility of dog owners. It’s helpful to hear situations like this so we can look at how we can make everyone’s stay as enjoyable as possible.

Hope to welcome you back for another great stay soon – maybe for a milkshake and a sunset cocktail next time! 🍹🌅

Positiv Ah where to start! We loved this campsite; the staff, the facilities, the views...so well kept and organised. The washing facilities, the shop and the outdoor bar/food area are really convenient and well thought out and the site as a whole is beautiful and very relaxing. Dan and Danielle who work on the site were fab, very attentive and friendly, we can't praise them enough 🙌 this campsite ticks every box
