Liked: We chose a quiet week, after the bank holiday so only three other families there. Facilities are clean and location is perfect for a short walk into the village centre for amenities.

Powered grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Alan, the site owner was friendly & helpful. Toilets & showers were clean. A lovely location, walking distance to supermarket, town & countryside. Short drive to many beaches & towns. No noise from traffic on site which is rare. Spacious pitches which are all level.

Disliked: The site was long & narrow, if full there would have been no space for the children to play apart from an area at the end of the campsite. We were also concerned that when full the two toilets & three showers would not be sufficient (there was a portaloo at the opposite end of site). As it happened not all the pitches were taken so queuing for the loo only happened a couple of times.

Powered grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: What a fantastic little campsite! Initially, we had whittled it down to 2 choices, we went with this one and were not disappointed. It's a small campsite which is good. It has lovely hot showers and a small toilet block (with hand basins and soap), also a very small library underneath the table. A kitchen sink so you can wash up and a table top freezer. It also has a little area with goals for football. Alan came around every morning and is as friendly as everyone states he is, asks about your plans and what you did the day before, he's a lovely man. Literally right next door to the cricket club, you can watch most of it from your tent! Drinks there are very reasonably priced. The village is lovely and a short walk away, topless buses into Croyd which is a beautiful town. Lots of walks on the doorstep. I would definitely recommend this site and will come back again.

From the manager: Thank you so much for those wonderful comments - makes it all worth while. So very pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Powered grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: The campsite was in an excellent location close to beaches, coast path walks and cycling on the Tarka trail. It’s a small site so was quiet but had all the facilities you need. Alan who owns the campsite was welcoming and always on hand, nothing was too much trouble. The site is next to the local cricket club which Alan invited us to visit. They serve cheap drinks and lovely pizzas. Would highly recommend.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your kind comments and so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again at the campsite.

Local attractions

Away from north Devon’s surfing beaches, Lynmouth (40 minutes’ drive) is packed with cutesy fishing cottages and arty boutiques, and connected by a steep cliffside funicular railway to its smaller twin, Lynton. It’s also well worth checking out harbourside Appledore (35 minutes), known for its ship-building traditions and the North Devon Maritime Museum (a great rainy day option). You’re well placed for day trips around the rocky crags and moorland of Exmoor National Park (30 minutes), or pottering around the narrow streets of pretty, seafront Clovelly (45 minutes). Ilfracombe (15 minutes) is the departure point for boat cruises to spot puffins and seals on Lundy Island, and for big nights out, try out the cosy pubs and indie restaurants in Barnstaple (15 minutes) for size. Travelling with younger kids? Take them to meet farm animals at The Big Sheep (30 minutes), see the model dinos and feed sea lions at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park (25 minutes), or let them safely run off energy on Saunton Sands (five minutes).
