Roey's Retreat

Likte Very nicely kept Campsite with level grind and clean and well presented toilet toilets. Nice friendly staff.

Likte ikke Very disappointed to see that the two showers had to be paid for separately. Biggest issue being that the showers take coins. Like many these days we don’t carry cash so this meant we couldn’t use the shower block. Site is next to a very noisy busy Road.

Likte Lovely site with big pitches so you have plenty of room. A very relaxing place to stay and the hosts were very nice and welcoming. All the facilities were good and clean. Enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

Likte ikke The only negative thing is the road which runs alongside the site but we didn’t notice any noise after a while.

Likte This was our third stay at this wonderful site. Its a perfect location to use as a base for exploring the North Devon coast, and venturing into Cornwall, whilst also being the perfect place to switch off and relax in idyllic peace.

Located just off the Higher Clovelly roundabout on the A39 Atlantic Highway, the site is easy to find and access.
On arrival there is a board that tells you where to pitch, if you are booked in, or a number you call for if you aren’t.
The pitches themselves are all grass and relatively flat. The electric pitches are all in the larger field. The non electric ones are in the smaller field at the far end of the site, and have the added bonus of a large paddock of Free Range Chickens for company. You can purchase their eggs from the stand at the main gate.
There is also a “Glamping Bell Tent” available for hire.
The toilets and showers are kept spotlessly clean and are a joy to use. The showers are coin operated and cost £1 for 5 minutes use.
On the front of the toilet block there is a nice little washing up area with hot and cold running water. We stayed during a heatwave and the cold water comes out VERY cold, which is blissfully quenching.
There is a tap for filling water containers on the right hand side of the big field and dustbins between the pitches (that are emptied regularly).
The Chemical Disposal point is just inside the main gate.
There is a useful little shop on site that operates on the honesty system, and it must be an absolute boon for backpackers as it stocks ready meals that can be made in the shop using a kettle and microwave that are provided. You can also make tea and coffee.
The owners, Karen & Nick are so lovely and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they hold regular “Pizza Nights” on a Saturday during the high season.

The site overall is very pretty and nicely maintained.

The village of Clovelly, with its famously car free and steep streets is an easy walk from the site. We recommend walking in along Wrinkleberry Lane (you don't have to pay, that way). Once in the harbor, walk a few hundred yards along the coast to your right and there is a beautiful waterfall cascading down the wooded cliff face. Make sure you wear stout shoes.

In the village of Woolfardisworthy, a 3 minute drive away, there is a good village shop, a fish and chip shop and a dairy farm where you can buy the most deliciously fresh milk (and milkshakes too) from a vending machine at the farm gate.

We had a wonderful stay can’t wait to return.

Its worth noting that Roey’s retreat do not accept twin axle caravans. Possibly due to the tightness of the exit when leaving the site and entering the island. I would guess that larger motorhomes may struggle too.

Also, yes, the site is adjacent to the A39, but for a main road it’s really not that busy. It’s mostly farm traffic. If you are a light sleeper, in a tent, you just need to be aware. It doesn’t bother us at all.
