Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Nice and helpful staff who assisted us late at night Location good for Ilfracombe, Croyde, Woollacombe, Combe Martin.
Disliked: Facilities basic - simple sink next to 2 showers/toilets so often a queue. Camping on a slope Lovely sunset as stated in name!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Lots of space to pitch. Clean facilities given how wet the weather was. Friendly staff. Good price. Depot eatery across the road is great for food and drinks!
Disliked: A separate toilet to the showers would be nice, to reduce queues. Close to the road and a traveling circus so it was a bit noisy.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: - The person running the site (Alfie) was really helpful and welcoming. - The field had plenty of space. - Next door to Football Golf which the children really enjoyed. - Less than 10mins drive to Woolacombe and Ilfracombe.
Disliked: - Only 2 toilet/shower combination cabins which didn't have lights in unless the generator was running, so needed a torch in the evening and one of them didn't have a window so in the daytime needed a torch too. - Toilets/shower cabins didn't have anywhere to put things when showering and the floor was regularly covered in cut grass. It was also wet most of the time as not many people seemed to tidy up after themselves (one person was even taking their dog in there!) - Hot water only available when the generator was running in specified time slots (no hot water available at the washing up sink). - Busy main road next to the site (although this made it handy to get to places!)

Liked: Ben - the manager Understanding owner when expressing disappointment.
Disliked: No shop. Awful toilet and shower only turned on 2 hrs in the morning, 2 hrs in the evening. Play area was a broken football goal. Reception - what reception.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The view was amazing, staff were attentive and very relaxed although there was a 10pm curfew for general chit chat when asking staff if we could be situated in an area where we would be allowed to do so later they were more than happy to do so
Disliked: Shower was only active between 8-10am and 6-8pm and could imagine in busy terms being a struggle to get a shower. I would say this site is perfect for its simplicity if you want a feeling of traditional camping with limited resources then it is perfect however toilets and shower could be upgraded with a permanent block/fixture.

Liked: Sunsets were beautiful around the wet weather. Perfect base for visiting lots of North Devon.
Disliked: The field needs more maintenance for getting around the field as it’s quite a slope. No lighting in the toilet/shower cubes in the evening.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: We stayed at Sunset View for 2 nights and arrived late due to poor weather. Harvey called ahead of our arrival and suggested we pitch at the bottom for maximum shelter. Once pitched, Ben came down and introduced himself and suggested we knock on his caravan anytime if we needed anything. The toilets were decent, we didn’t try the showers as we were only there for 2 days. Ben went above and beyond to accommodate us on the Saturday after a rather windy night on Friday, he suggested we could take his surf board and wetsuit to the beach if we wanted too. What a legend! This is their first season and they’re already talking about improvements, what could they do better, I would highly recommend this campsite to anyone staying in the region of Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Croyde. Cheap accommodation ran by people who care about people. Big up Ben! From Mark, JJ and the lads.
