What customers say
This dog-friendly campsite has spacious, level pitches and a relaxed vibe, praised for its cleanliness and handy Ilfracombe location. Toilets and showers are always clean with hot water. Some found facilities basic, with road noise or poor hand-drying, but most loved the value and friendly atmosphere, many keen to return.

Dog friendly, clean and chilled
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be returning. The campsite is incredibly dog-friendly – almost every camper seemed to have a dog, and the dedicated dog field was perfect for letting them run and play. The toilets and showers were always spotless, with plenty of toilet roll available throughout our stay. The whole site had such a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and a lovely community feel. It’s also ideally located, with easy access to Ilfracombe and the surrounding areas. We can’t wait to come back!

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Free to come and go. Good size pitchs. Toilets, showers and washing up area good.
Disliked Not massive amount of staff about but also didn't actively go looking for them.
The depot pub close by was very expensive for breakfast but might of been better for dinner.

Really nice stay and would go back again.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Very basic and peaceful, pitches are well spaced and facilities were very clean. Only a 5 min walk to a bus stop to take you into Ilfracombe
Disliked Says there is ice block freezing however this was at the owners house so had to drop them off and go back to collect them by knowing on their door, would’ve been nice to just use this as we needed.
The grass in the non electric field was also quite long.

An ok site which could be made much better
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked There's not a lot I liked about this site, the price is reasonable
Disliked This site has had numerus things pointed out to it over a few years and still nothing has been done ie
No mirror on opposite side of road on exit, making it much safer to leave.
No way to get to pub just up the road, just walking on a road, which has very fast traffic on a narrow road with high banks.
No additional hooks in showers
No shower curtain to protect your clothes while showering.
No way to dry your hands in either toilet block.
No roof over washing up place, you get wet when its raining.
We were there for 9 nights and all the time there was NO soap in the men’s toilets, as we paid upfront we couldn’t leave without paying again. We will never do that again!
ALL THESE THING ARE VERY CHEAP TO RESOLVE TO MAKE THE SITE MUCH BETTER.

From the manager: Hi
Thank you for your feedback. We have applied several times to the council to install a mirror which has been denied on several occasions so this is now out of our control.
There is easy access to the pub via a footpath if you had spoken to us we would have directed you to this.
We have planned some renovation over winter to cover the washing up area.
We have had shower curtains and hooks but over the season many people have chosen to take or break both and we cannot continuously replace this.
