What customers say
Super clean, well-run campsite with great staff. Amazing views, peaceful vibe, and top-notch facilities like a dishwasher and modern showers. Spacious pitches, though some town walks are hilly. Good base for exploring, and the food van/bakery are a hit!

Great site, feels luxurious but affordable
Anonymous Bay View electric grass and gravel campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great pitch sizes, was in bay view pitch 5, wasnt a full view of sea as the pitches in front covered it but still Great.
Facilities were immaculate, best site ive been on. As it was super hot we kept buying ice from the shop, one day thwy had run out but one of the workers offered to grab some after he finished work, he brought it to our pitch few hours later!! Was amazing. If you want sea view I would recommend pitches 9-12 bay view
Disliked Absolutely nothing

First impressions WOW. One of the best campsite we’ve visited. Love it
Beggar's Field electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch (water hook-up)
Liked We loved everything from the reception desk to the secure dog field. The toilet/shower block was so clean. There was even ice in the freezer we could help ourselves to. We enjoyed a couple of cocktails from the food trailer after a long walk down to Lynmouth which went down a treat. We love walking and it was all walking distance to Lynmouth, Lynton and the Valley of the Rocks. We even saw the most incredible sunset during our stay. We had an electric and water gravel pitch which was PERFECT and a nice bit of shade for our dog. Thought the 10pm noise curfew was sufficient and respectful and suited us well. The site was really pretty and well maintained and thought out. Discreet bin area, dog shower, and phone charger hire. Great location and we’d certainly recommend it and stay again. We were checked in by Dan who was really friendly, chatty and gave us some great local recommendations of places to go. Thank you.
Disliked We were warned about ticks and unfortunately all got one but it does say in the retreats website to bring a tick remover which was recommended. This clearly isn’t the campsite fault so not really a negative.

We’re really pleased you enjoyed so many parts of your stay—from the spotless facilities and secure dog field 🐾 to the electric and water gravel pitch, shaded areas, and those little touches like the free ice, discreet bins, dog shower, and phone charger hire. It’s great to hear the 10pm quiet time worked well for you too 🌙
We’ll pass your kind words on to Dan as well—he’ll be delighted to know his friendly welcome and local recommendations helped set you up for a great stay 👍
It sounds like you really made the most of the walking routes to Lynmouth, Lynton, and the Valley of the Rocks 🚶♀️🌿 and catching that incredible sunset must have been a real highlight 🌅
Also, thank you for the lovely photos you shared 📸—they’re genuinely beautiful and really show off how scenic and well-kept the retreat is.
We appreciate you recommending us, and we’d love to welcome you back again in the future! 😊
