  • 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

This neat, quiet spot has big, flat pitches in pretty woods. Staff are friendly, helpful, and facilities are clean and great. Perfect base for North Devon's coast and beaches, with good transport. Some mention road noise and older facilities needing a spruce-up, but most love the natural beauty, and it's ace for families and doggos.

Lynda A.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch (small)

Liked Sadly we had to leave 2 days earlier due to me and my partner unwell. However the site is beautiful and the showers are hot with not having to press the button for it to come on again which is fantastic. I would highly recommend this site. Very warming and inviting.

Disliked We was put in pitch 14 which was straight opposite bins, we asked to be moved which they moved us straight away. They are polite and helpful.

Sean C.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch (small)

Liked Hidden valley is a beautiful little site in the forest with a lovely little stream running thru it and nice dog walks. The people running the site were very friendly and helpful and the facilities were great. There’s a bus stop right outside going into ilfracombe harbour. Will definitely be back early next year.

Sarah P.

Forest Lodge 2 bedroom lodge

Liked The cabin was lovely, it’s not brand spanking new but it’s very well cared for. The site was lovely and peaceful despite being on a fairly busy road, it really was well hidden.
The welcome on reception was friendly and organised and because we had no issues we didn’t see them again until departure.

Disliked Really nothing to dislike

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.
