Hidden Valley Campsite (also known as Hidden Valley Park) is a beautifully maintained retreat nestled in a serene woodland valley in North Devon, where a charming stream and pond add to the picturesque setting. The spacious, level pitches are often divided by hedges for privacy, and many overlook the stream or are set among trees, making it a relaxing spot for nature lovers. Cleanliness is a standout feature, with modern toilet and shower blocks kept in top condition, some boasting underfloor heating and sensor showers for a luxurious feel. The staff are consistently praised for being friendly, welcoming, and efficient, providing a warm reception and helpful local tips throughout the stay. Visitors enjoy woodland walks right from the site, a popular dog walk, and easy access to beaches and local attractions like Ilfracombe and Combe Martin via a convenient bus stop at the entrance. The on-site restaurant and bar serve good food, including vegetarian options, though opening hours can be limited, especially off-season. A small shop stocks essentials and fresh pastries each morning. Families find two children's play areas, though some equipment is showing signs of wear. The site is very dog-friendly, with pets allowed in most areas and plenty of space for paddling in the stream. Road noise from the nearby A361 is a noticeable drawback, particularly for pitches closest to the road, detracting from the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. The electric hookup uses a prepaid card system, which some guests find inconvenient as credit can unexpectedly run out. WiFi is available but at an extra cost, and the signal is often too weak for reliable use. The bar and restaurant are not always open early in the year, but the site's overall value for money receives high marks. Despite these minor issues, the overwhelming sentiment is one of delight, with many guests eager to return for the serene location, spotless facilities, and welcoming staff. A security barrier with ANPR adds to the sense of safety, though occasional plate-reading glitches have been reported. Recycling bins are plentiful, supporting eco-friendly practices. Overall, it is a fantastic, relaxing campsite that excels in cleanliness, hospitality, and natural beauty, making it a hidden gem in North Devon.
