  • Award-winning park in a wooded valley and wildlife haven
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde Bay
  • Play parks overlooking gardens and lake
If life’s little stresses are getting you down, flee and hide away in this award-winning park in a Devon wooded valley. From your doorstep at Hidden Valley Park all the highlights of north Devon are within easy reach: the famed beaches of Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde Bay are no more than 15 minutes' drive away, and family days out at The Big Sheep are about half an hour from the site. But this pretty place is so secluded you'll feel like the world outside doesn’t even exist (which is always a win…). There's no need to leave the grounds until you're fully perked up, with plenty of peaceful options including wandering along the stream running through the park, lazing about the lakeside area, or taking a woodland walk to spot kingfishers and otters. Take a tramp through the forest then come back to relax around the gardens and lake – there’s wifi access too so you can load up your phone/tablet and studiously avoid catching up on work. Which is also a win… Kids and dogs can hide away too, as there are two play parks for the youngsters and the park is dog-friendly. Amenities include luxury shower and toilet blocks with hairdryers and underfloor heating, full disabled facilities, a reception with tourist information, a licensed shop and a launderette. Once it’s time to venture off site, a bus stop is just outside the entrance to the park.

What customers say

Great spot for a chill getaway! Lovely woodland setting, spacious pitches, top-notch facilities (showers are a winner). Staff are ace, handy bus, and heaps to see nearby. Bit of road noise and tired playground gear noted.

Power optional gravel caravan site (small)

Liked First time of camping, really enjoyed, will definitely be going back to this site. Underfloor heating in shower blocks, good temperature for showers all very clean. Good bus service, every 1/2 hour both ways.

Disliked No cafe or restaurant until Easter. Although with busses not really a problem.

Power optional gravel caravan site (large)

Liked Absolutely lovely quiet peaceful park hidden in the valley amongst the trees, the pitches are top standard, everything you need within walking distance is showers no s and recycling. The showers were very clean and just the right temperature, heated floor the shower rooms are nice with shelves very warm. The site has a lovely park and bridges with a stream running through. The staff at reception were very polite and helpful. There was a lovely cat who greeted us as a cat person that made my day. The sites very close to ilfracombe and combe martin.. went to the dinosaur and wildlife park which is brilliant if you have kids it's a great day out. Over all amazing park.

Lovely facilities with showers and a laundry.

Our son loved the stream running through the site and the bridge over.

Really friendly and easy to find in the dark!

We'll definitely be back

Thank you and Happy New Year!

Liked Lovely site with some great facilities. The pitches are nice a big and the setting within the woods makes for lovely walks.
Toilets and showers are good and the underfloor heating is a bonus, unfortunately we weren’t sure how to get access to the family bathroom which would have been useful.

Disliked Some days of the children’s play equipment needs attention or replacing, same for the wooden bridge and lighting up the steps to the shower block.

Local attractions

Hidden Valley is four miles from two of Devon’s best-known beaches, Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, five miles from the surfing mecca of Croyde Bay and six from a family day out at the beach of Saunton Sands. The areas around all these are well worth a look, but the Victorian harbour town of Ilfracombe is a must for bucketloads of boat trips such as punts out to nearby Lundy Island, the seafront with the Landmark Theatre, and St Nicholas Chapel on Lantern Hill, where a light has shone over the harbour for over a thousand years. Bring a torch for a walk to the Ilfracombe Museum and Tunnels beach, reached by tunnels through the cliff. Many family attractions close by for all weathers, including Exmoor Zoo (25 minutes' drive) and The Big Sheep (30 minutes), while sprogs will probably also like spotting ponies in the Exmoor wilderness, getting creeped out in the dungeon labyrinths of Watermouth Castle (20 minutes) or taking to the skies in the rides at the Milky Way Adventure Park, 45 minutes away at Bideford.
