What customers say
This highly-rated, spotless campsite boasts a prime location steps from the beach and Ilfracombe. Guests love the friendly staff and excellent, modern facilities. Spacious pitches are well-arranged. Occasional minor issues like spotty WiFi and challenging access for larger RVs were noted. Family and dog-friendly with dedicated amenities.

FHU gravel RV campsite (small)
Liked Location is excellent, facilities cannot be improved, staff helpful and available for most of the day. my space felt private even though i was next to the toilet block.
Only slight criticism is that the wifi was variable.
Disliked nothing

Loved my stay and will be back.
Snug camping pod
Liked Loved my stay at the cute pea pod. So simple & fun. Slept like a princess 👸 and no, no pea disturbed my dorsum. Enjoyed the picnic bench set up for my morning coffee time. Peaceful (with a gentle flowing water stream sound running towards the sea), very clean & thoughtful (freezer, dog & wetsuit cleaning station, telephone box give away station). Super friendly & helpful team working at the site.
Disliked Loved everything. My only suggestion wld be to use draw curtains at the pod door rather than a blind which seems like forever to pull it up and down.

A well-maintained, quiet, and ideally located campsite
FHU gravel travel trailer campsite (XL)
Liked Tucked away in a sheltered valley yet just a short stroll from Hele Bay beach and the vibrant town of Ilfracombe, it offers a perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility.
It has spotlessly clean shower blocks and other amenities. The park offers a variety of accommodation, including touring and camping pitches (with electric and fully serviced options), as well as glamping pods and luxury lodges, some even with hot tubs.
Hele Valley is a family-friendly and dog-friendly site. There are dedicated dog wash facilities and nearby dog-friendly beaches and pubs. While not a bustling park with extensive entertainment, its focus on tranquility and nature is a big draw.

A lovely site, in a great location.
FHU gravel RV campsite (small)
Liked A lovely, peaceful site. Well kept, spotlessly clean, and lovely, helpful staff, nothing too much trouble.
Large pitches, we were put near facilities, which suited us. We were overlooking the trees, stream, and a large pond, and saw a heron flying on occasion.
Plenty of dog bins around, and even some dog bags too.
Loved the telephone box at the end of the drive, where you could donate/ have items inside, like books, utensils, plates, place mart etc.
A helpful map of the local area was given on arrival.
Brilliant to have free WiFi, but it would go out on occasion. Staff very quick to rectify.
Disliked The only thing I can think of: would be helpful to have a little shelf next to the shower 🚿, I had to put on the floor my shower gel, and shampoo etc...
