What customers say
This well-kept campground offers amazing ocean views, friendly staff, and great amenities like a popular food stand and bar. Sites are usually spacious and the grounds are praised for being clean. Direct access to coastal trails and a nearby beach is a highlight, though the steep beach steps are noted. Families enjoy the playgrounds and games. Some guests mentioned road noise on sites near the road and the distance to amenities from higher sites.

Primitive grass tent or campervan campsite (sea view, sloping)
Liked Everything! Clean pitches and facilities - showers are always hot. The owners work so hard each day to ensure the campsite is at it's best.
They have food on every evening, which had a great selection of foods. We ate most night on site and it was delicious. They also have a really good freezer which ensured our icepack were always frozen. They have an area for children and older children can play pool, table tennis and table football. There is a well stocked shop which a hot drink machine. It's just such an amazing place!

Highly recommend: Friendly, fab facilities, beautiful, AONB.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Fantastic sites with great facilities such as daily different meal options on site like fish and chips and pizza, outdoor table tennis, undercover table games, and the layout in lines made each pitch feel individual. Southwest coastal path passes through the site so you can walk to lots of codes and watermouth castle and cove are almost opposite. Perfect position yet private.
Disliked No dislikes!

Lovely place but earplugs are a must.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Facilities: very good toilets, showers, water, proximity to the pub, children play area.
Disliked How close the tent pitches are to the road - we needed to use earplugs otherwise it felt like we are camping on a roundabout.

Clean facilities, range of amenities, amazing views
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Warm and welcoming campsite with all amenities you need for a pleasant stay provided on site. We had a pitch in the valley which was very generously sized, and easy walk to the pub next door along with the on site facilities. The food and drinks vendors are a lovely addition and great value for money. The view from the top field during sunset was a particular highlight for us.
The showers and toilets were immaculate every time we used them and easy walk from the valley pitches. There was also somewhere to plug a hairdryer in which was a big win!
Along with there being plenty to keep you occupied on site, we found the site well positioned for daytrips around north Devon.
It’s a shame that Broadsands Beach was closed during our stay (but obviously beyond control of the campsite), but all the more reason to visit again in the future!
Disliked More of a heads-up than a ‘dislike’; we had some road noise as our pitch was close to the road - we were fine with ear plugs, but suggest any light sleepers do the same :)
