This campsite offers a spacious and well-maintained setting near the North Devon coast, making it a popular choice for families and dog owners. The grounds are kept tidy, with generous pitches that receive consistent praise for their size, though some areas can be sloping and challenging for motorhomes. Cleanliness is generally a strong point, with toilet and shower blocks described as spotless and well-maintained, especially during quieter seasons. Staff are frequently commended for being friendly, helpful, and accommodating, with reception staff going out of their way to assist late arrivals. The site boasts a wide array of amenities, including a swimming pool, bar, restaurant, shop, playgrounds, and horse riding stables, though many of these operate only during high season or have limited hours. The swimming pool is a highlight but incurs an additional fee and often requires advance booking, with some guests finding it cold or the booking rules confusing. On-site dining options receive mixed reviews: the bar and restaurant can be pricey, the chip shop often disappoints, and food vans provide convenient alternatives. Evening entertainment, such as discos and magicians, adds to the family-friendly atmosphere, especially for children. The playgrounds and dedicated dog-walking areas are well-regarded, and the site's location is ideal for exploring nearby beaches like Woolacombe and Ilfracombe as well as Exmoor National Park. However, several issues detract from the experience. WiFi is paid and frequently unreliable, often failing to work at pitches, and mobile phone signal is weak in many areas. Noise can be a problem, with late-night groups and occasional lack of security presence to manage disturbances. The site has changed ownership recently, and returning visitors note a decline in atmosphere, with reduced services and an increased focus on static caravans. Pitch numbering and signage are often unclear, making it difficult to find assigned spots, especially after dark. Arrival and check-in can be problematic during off-peak periods, with reception closing early and pitches not clearly marked or already occupied. Showers sometimes lack sufficient warmth or have temperamental motion sensors that cut off mid-use, and some facilities show signs of inconsistent maintenance, such as blocked toilets or mould. The terrain can be tricky for larger vehicles, with narrow lanes and difficult access roads. Overall, this campsite provides a comfortable base for families seeking activities and a coastal location, but inconsistent maintenance, additional costs for extras, and variable service levels may disappoint some visitors, particularly outside peak season.
