VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

My partner and I, along with our small dog, really enjoyed our stay here. It is a really peaceful campsite, with great views. We were welcomed on arrival, shown to our pitch and kept in the loop of some cool/great places to visit and eat. We only stayed for one night, but wish we could have stayed for more. It is tucked away, clean and easily accessible. We had a short walk through another campsite which we were going to stay at, but I'm glad we didn't - as during our walk, there were too many cars and it was a lot noisier than little meadow. The pub (Sawmill) is a 20 minute walk from the campsite, and the path from the campsite brings you out to the main road. A nice little bumble down to the pub and along the coastal path (through the other campsite) was good! We'd definitely stay here again! The facilities were immaculate, staff were knowledgeable and the little shop (even though we didn't use) seemed very convenient. Definitely keep this place in mind if you're looking for cheap but convenient camping near Ilfracombe (5-10 minute drive away).

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Unfortunately, even though we booked two campers for two nights, the clutch went on one of the vans so we had only one van the second night. I would say the location, friendliness and facilities were brilliant. We chose this site for the quiet policy. Some of the other people didn't respect this unfortunately, but we are quite a way from the owner's farmhouse and unless it was reported, they would never know. Will definitely be back.
