What customers say

This immaculately kept site is praised for its Tarka Trail location, great for cycling/walking. Spotless new toilets/showers are a highlight. Peaceful, with friendly staff. Brewery/pizza venue is popular. Pitches spacious & level, many with estuary views & picnic tables. Most highly recommend, though some found it pricey.

Electric grass and gravel touring caravan pitch

Liked Great location for Tarka Trail access. Site was orderly and efferently designed. My campervan was very happy on level pitch which was exactly as pictured in the photos and located close to the shower block. Polite and friendly greeting on arrival. Night was quiet for a great night sleep. Large Shower/toilet block was very clean and tidy. Good WiFi connection from the gravel pitches

Electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Friendly greeting especially our guide Daniel, excellent facilities, spotless.
Very close accessibility to the tarka trail and coast path.
Neighbouring brewery entertaining as ever with the eccentric Lawrence, although the lovely Jackie has added a few feminine touches in an attempt to tidy the place up a bit.

Local attractions

The traffic-free Tarka Trail is a top pick for walks and bike rides around here. The 30-mile section that runs adjacent to the site follows the route of an old railway, so it's fairly flat (excellent news for occasional walkers/cyclists). Bike hire is available at the old station by Fremington Quay (three miles away by road/a mile and a half's walk along the trail), where there's also a café and heritage centre. Wildlife spotters should check out RSPB Isley Marsh (under a mile by foot), where waders galore are drawn to a peaceful saltmarsh. Serious birdwatchers can head out for the day to to Lundy Island: the ferry leaves Bideford (10 minutes' drive) several times a week and takes around two hours. For a day at the beach, head to Instow (a five-minute drive), a sandy riverside spot with sweeping views over the estuary that's popular with sailors and windsurfers. If you fancy taking to the waves, catch the Instow to Appledore Ferry across the Taw. Westward Ho! (15 minutes) is home to another fine beach and is a hub for surfers, kayakers and paddleboarders (with kit for hire) as well as go-karting.
