Great all-round camping experience

Great location, quiet and pleasant campsite with excellent facilities. Staff are all very helpful, friendly, and personable. Bakery goods from reception each morning are delicious, and fake Airstream guy does lovely smoothies and fries to die for. Other campers were all very friendly with a wide range of nationalities making the social side even more enjoyable. Our pitch (22) was ample in area for our needs, though a little uneven no worse than any others we've come across. Having the hedge and trees on the windward side helped reduce the effects of strong winds in the first couple of days. It's a place we will return to, as a base to further explore the towns, villages, and harbours along the North Devon and Somerset coast. Dunster Castle and water mill is spectacular (worth a whole day to visit) and the village too is picture postcard, with little gems of gardens, the tithe barn and dove cote tucked away in the side streets. We had a fantastic stay enjoying a great mix of exploring harbours, coves, and waterfalls (Glen Lyn George is well worth a visit, and the owner is a mine of information!) alongside the spectacular scenery of Exmoor on the doorstep.

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! 🌟 We're absolutely thrilled to hear you had such a great all-round camping experience with us. It’s lovely to know you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, helpful staff, and delicious treats from the bakery and the Airstream Catering unit — we agree, those smoothies and fries are dangerously good! 😄 We appreciate your understanding about the pitch levels and are glad the natural windbreak helped during the blustery days. Your recommendations for Dunster Castle, Glen Lyn Gorge, and the surrounding coast are spot on — such magical places to explore. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime for more North Devon adventures! 🏞️⛺🥐

Beautiful site

Everything great, as described. The only thing to comment on is the drone that hovered around the site each evening, this was a bit off putting.

Site's response

Thank you for your kind words and for highlighting the beauty of the site — we’re really pleased everything met your expectations 😊 Regarding the drone, we completely understand how it might have been a little off-putting. We did have a professional photographer on-site capturing footage of the park over a few days to help showcase its surroundings and facilities, as a standard policy we do not allow guests to fly drones on park. That said, we apologise if this disrupted the peace or affected your stay in any way. We really appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back again soon! 🌿📷

Top drawer!!

A very well organized, perfectly manicured site in a lovely location; will definitely return in the future; highly recommended.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the location and appreciated the care we put into keeping the site well-maintained 🌿✨ It means a lot to know you’d highly recommend us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back in the future! 🏕️

Relaxing

The site is nice & quiet, very relaxing. The toilet & shower facilities are very clean & modern. The baked goods from reception are very tasty & freshly baked. The snack van serves a great bacon roll & has a variety of great tasting food. The only down side for us was nothing around the site eg shops, pubs etc, everywhere was a car ride away & no bus service. The snack van could have been open every day rather than just Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday (wasn't open all day either, some days it was only open for a couple of hours)

Site's response

Thank you for your lovely feedback! 😊 We're so pleased to hear you found the site peaceful and relaxing, and that you enjoyed the clean, modern facilities as well as the fresh baked goods and tasty bacon rolls from the snack van 🥐🥓. We understand your comments about the location — while the peaceful setting is part of the charm, it does mean shops and pubs are a short drive away, and we appreciate this isn’t ideal for everyone. We also take your feedback on the snack van’s opening hours on board — it's something we’re continually reviewing based on demand and staffing. We hope to welcome you back again for another peaceful getaway! 🌿🚐

Lovely site

We booked the view pitch and it didn't disappoint we had a fabulous view out to sea. The site was lovely clean and had a perfect field to walk the dogs. The showers were clean and spacious and we loved using the dishwasher what a luxury! We were also very pleased to be near the airstream cocktail bar and sampled one or two! The burgers were delicious too! We would highly recommend the site to our friends.

Fantastic site and location!

A lovely well kept site with friendly staff. Extremely clean shower/toilet areas. The shop in the reception area was well equipped with fresh baguettes and pastries. The on site van had cocktails, shakes, burgers and breakfast rolls. The large dog walking field was great for our dogs. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

Our stay

Don't often leave reviews but have to say what a very nice site this was. Started off with a very nice welcome from folk who genuinely care about their visitors. Can't fault it and highly recommend it.

Superb site

Very peaceful site with excellent facilities. Spotlessly clean, modern shower block, grounds well-maintained with nice touches like a dog walking field, herb garden and dog shower.

Thank you so much for your lovely words! 🌿🐶🚿 We're thrilled you enjoyed the peaceful setting and appreciated the little touches like the herb garden and dog facilities. Hope to welcome you back again soon!

Lovely site with great views.

Lovely site with beautiful views over Lynmouth and the bay, roads to the site are quite narrow and hilly but we expected that anyway, the site is very clean and all the staff were very friendly, from the site down to Lynmouth or Lynton only takes about 15 minutes in the car, there is a a tuck wagon on site which cooks chips, burgers and breakfast bites if you want, we tried the food and was happy with the quality and portion size, if I had one recommendation to the site owners it would be to adjust the showers and washbasin taps so they run longer rather than having to press the valve every 10/15 seconds, having said that we will go back to this site, by the way they have a great field for the dogs to run free although be aware of the ticks this time of year.

Site's response

Thank you! 🌟 We’re so glad you enjoyed the views, facilities, and friendly atmosphere. Your feedback on the showers is appreciated — it helps us improve. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon! 🐾🚐🌄

Great stop off for Porlock Weir

Location of the site was fantastic with great views. The toilet/ shower block was super clean and the showers were nice and hot. The cocktail van was a great addition with cheesy chips and breakfast rolls at very good prices. The walk down to Lynmouth was very nice, albeit quite a climb on the way back. The staff were all super friendly, would definitely recommend it.

Site's response

Thank you for the lovely review! 🌟 We're so pleased you enjoyed the stunning views 🌄, hot showers 🚿, and of course—cocktails and cheesy chips! 🍹🧀🍟 Nothing better after a good walk to Lynmouth (we agree... that climb back is definitely a workout! 😅🥾). Our team will be so happy to hear your kind words 💛—we’d love to welcome you back again soon!

Simply the best

Perfect pitch with stunning views across the Bristol channel to Wales. Lovely couple on reception, the airstream takeaway is class! Nice mix of tents and motorhomes on the site which has a great layout to suit everyone.

Lynmouth retreat

Great location and a good walk into Lynmouth and Lynton. Walking shoes required to walk the route into and from Lynmouth as the path is slippery in the wet and steep in places. Walk not suitable with people who have mobility issues.

Site's response

Thank you for your review! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed the location and the walk into Lynmouth and Lynton. It’s definitely a beautiful route, but we totally agree that it can be a bit slippery and steep in places after the rainy days we had over easter— definitely best with sturdy walking shoes 👟! We appreciate you sharing that feedback, especially for those who may have mobility concerns. We hope you had a fantastic time despite the challenging parts of the walk, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🏞️💚

Absolutely amazing

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 😊 We're so glad you had a great experience and felt welcomed by our friendly team 💚 We truly appreciate the recommendation and can’t wait to have you back for another fantastic stay! 🏕️✨

Our opinion!

Though the staff were very attentive, I'm afraid this site is not for us! It was very difficult to get to as the roads were very narrow, extremely steep and very winding, not ideal for a 7.5m motorhome towing a car! Also, the pitch was on a slope and we'd forgotten our levelling ramps 🤦‍♀️

Site's response

Thank you for your honest feedback! 😊 We're really glad to hear that the staff made a positive impression, though we understand that the location and steep roads posed some challenges for your motorhome. The roads can certainly be tricky for larger vehicles, and we appreciate your patience with that. We also apologise for the inconvenience of the slope — we know that can be tough without levelling ramps! Thank you again for sharing your experience💚🚐

Fab place!

Highly recommended. Fabulous facilities and very clean. Will definitely come again next time.

Site's response

Thank you so much for the fab review! 😄 We're thrilled you enjoyed the facilities and found everything sparkling clean 🧼✨ It means the world that you'd recommend us – we can't wait to welcome you back next time! 🏕️💚
