This campsite offers a fantastic base for exploring the North Devon coast, with spacious flat pitches arranged around the edges of two large fields. The central grassy area is perfect for children to play games and make friends, while a dedicated dog walking field is a hit with pet owners. Facilities include clean toilets, hot showers with good pressure, a washing-up area, and waste disposal points. The showers could benefit from more hooks and a shelf for clothes. Toilets are kept tidy, though some users noted occasional dampness or loose seats. A few minor drawbacks include a lack of hand drying facilities, poor drainage in showers when multiple are in use, and narrow visibility when exiting onto the fast main road. The owners are friendly and helpful, with clear communication via email and a simple check-in system using a pitch board. The site is quiet after 10pm, despite nearby road noise, and offers great stargazing on dark nights. There is free WiFi available, though its reliability varied between years, and pitches are well signposted. Its location is ideal for visiting Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, and Braunton, with a bus stop within walking distance. Local amenities include a nearby pub, supermarkets, and a fast electric car charger six miles away. Beaches like Saunton Sands and Woolacombe are easily reachable, with dog-friendly zones and lifeguards. The site is good value for money, with a simple pricing structure that doesn't charge extra for children, dogs, or gazebos. Overall, it provides a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. A recurring issue is the lack of hand-drying options in the toilets, with no hand dryers or paper towels provided. The washing-up area has a limited number of sinks and no roof, so it can be inconvenient when it rains. Exiting the site onto the busy road can be tricky due to fast traffic and limited visibility, so caution is needed. There is no shop on site, though a pub and a small shop are a short walk away via a footpath through neighboring fields. Some guests mentioned that the walk involves a narrow, fast road with no footpath, which can feel unsafe. Children have plenty of space to play on the grass, and the relaxed vibe makes it popular with families. Self-check-in is available, but a few guests would have preferred a proper meet-and-greet upon arrival. Electric hookups are available, though one guest noted that a longer cable (20 meters) may be needed.
