What customers say
Lovely sea views and beach access! Friendly staff, clean facilities & great food. Spacious pitches (some sloped). Kids' entertainment and dog field available. Mostly positive, just note potential road noise and pitch-to-facility distance.

Excellent campsite, I would highly recommend.
Allocated non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (sea view)
Liked Nice showers, hot water and good space to change. The whole campsite was very clean, staff working throughout the day the maintain to make sure camp was clean. Really like the food hut, different t meals each night, the Sunday dinner was great. This campsite is great for the whole family, we had a sea view pitch which was a good size pitch with toilets and water tap nearby. Very friendly staff. The dog area was very good, a large area which looked down onto the campsite. Great access to Coastal Path, walking to Combe Martin and Illfracombe.
Disliked There was nothing to dislike

Really friendly, relaxed family site, close to great beaches.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Can't fault the site and the facilities. Customer service was amazing, so helpful when we wanted to change pitches and add additional nights. Site so clean, no queues for toilets/showers. Playground great for kids. Onsite food was amazing and staff really helpful. Most pitch sizes are very generous. Pub, harbour and watermouth Castle all in walking distance. Also close to great beaches.
Disliked Coming home :-(

Peaceful with plenty to do for kids
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked It was tranquil and peaceful with plenty to do for kids. We liked that you had the option to buy an evening meal there if you don’t feel like cooking too, with a bar area and kids Kabin with pool and table tennis it meant the whole family had fun.

Excellent site, great for families, clean facilities.
Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (sea view, sloping)
Liked First time visiting this site and we will most definitely be booking again. It was a great location for near by attractions.
The site was clean with great amenities - really impressed with the showers. Staff were friendly and welcoming and we regularly saw them cleaning.
We had a sea view which was beautiful and the site was quiet. We could view Broadsands beach from a viewing area not far from where we were pitched, sadly due to landslides the beach couldn’t be accessed but it looked a gem. (This information was clearly communicated on their website and in emails prior to our visit)
Overall a fabulous site, can’t wait to return.

Too many children
Electric grass pitch
Liked Decent facilities
Disliked Far too many screaming children. We booked as a couple and were put right next to the extensive playground!!!

From the manager: I wish you'd come and asked to move, we will always try.
Most campistes will have children on them during the children's holiday period, maybe try outside of them?

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (sea view, sloping)
Liked Staff very helpful
The amenities were good and very clean
Disliked Pitches with a sea view are on quite a severe slope so couldn’t really put anything on the table and making toast on the grill, the bread would slip to one side of the grill pan
The pitches were too close together so felt there was no privacy
There were enough water taps
We needed another shower block on the top of the hill
