Nestled right on the Tarka Trail with stunning estuary views, this campsite is a true haven for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers seeking a peaceful coastal escape. The toilet and shower block receives universal praise for being modern, warm, and spotlessly clean—often described as the best guests have ever used. Pitches are generally level and spacious, though a few note they can feel tight for tents or lack privacy when the site is busy. The on-site microbrewery is a unique bonus, serving excellent local ales and homemade pizzas that add a lively, characterful vibe. Staff are consistently friendly and helpful, going out of their way to accommodate requests like changing pitches for better views. Direct access through a gate onto the traffic-free Tarka Trail makes cycling or walking to Instow, Fremington, and the coastal path effortless. The site feels quiet and secure, with lovely sunsets and a mix of families, couples, and solo travellers creating a friendly community feel. Shops and supermarkets are just a short drive away, while a bus stop at the entrance provides easy car-free access to Barnstaple and Bideford. Good WiFi is available across the site, with charging points for phones and devices, and mobile 5G coverage is strong for most users. Some practical drawbacks include showers that require repeated pressing to stay running, a lack of shade on sunny days, and occasional exposure to westerly winds. A few guests mention the absence of laundry facilities and note that the fresh water tap may be far from some pitches. Despite minor gripes, the overwhelming sentiment is one of delight, with many visitors planning return trips and enthusiastically recommending the site for its cleanliness, location, and peaceful atmosphere.
