Powered grass RV campsite
Liked: The welcome was friendly & the pitch was a good size & pretty flat. The views were gorgeous even when we were watching the rain approaching to eventually batter us along with the wind for a short spell. The following days were lovely and we used the Tarka trail running along the edge of the site to cycle with bikes brought to the site by Olli from Instow cycles (details supplied on site). Easy bus trips to Barnstaple or Bideford with stops at the entrance to the site. The washroom/toilets & wash up facilities looked new and were kept immaculately, and the grey waste & chemical waste likewise. Highly recommended.
Disliked: The only possible thing negative was the showers were a little cool when out of the lovely warm water. Time of year I guess and not a big issue. Would I come back? yes. Would I recommend? Yes.

Liked: Lovely, clean site. Toilets and showers seemed like brand new. The site was right on the tarka trail which also led to the coastal path, so definitely a good site for walkers or cyclists. There is also an on-site micro- brewery - an interesting experience of nothing else!
Disliked: More sun and less rain would be great for next time, please 😆

Powered grass RV campsite
Liked: Lovely site with stunning views, well looked after and access to the Trail through a gate at the boundary of the site. We were given a pitch on the boundary with an uninterrupted view of the Tawe Estuary which was very much appreciated. Must bring some bikes next time. Owners were very friendly and helpful and the Toilet/Shower block is probably the best I have seen, warm, modern and spotlessly clean.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Location - right on the Tarka Trail location meant we could go either way for a great cycle. Didn't use amenities so can't comment.
Disliked: The price for a grass pitch with electric we felt £44 a night overpriced.

Liked: Easy to find with good access. Very level pitches. Lovely shower block with phone charging outside. Well set out for servicing moterhomes. Lovely sunsets. A few feet from the Tarka trail and an easy walk or cycle to Instow its beach and great pubs. Bus service takes you easily around the area so you don't have to drive.

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked: I recently stayed at the Tarka Trail Camping site, and it was a fantastic experience. The campsite was impeccably maintained, the staff were super friendly, the facilities were spotless, and having direct access to the Tarka Trail was a huge bonus. There was also a micro-brewery on site which was a nice touch which sold hot food but i didn't get a chance to eat/drink there. I highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-serviced camping break.
Disliked: Not being able to stay longer! (my choice though)
