Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2026

Just returned from 5 nights camping at this amazing holiday park. A real good value for money as you get all the facilities included! Both pools are heated to a comfortable temperature, the clubhouse staff are friendly and attentive, the food was lovely, and the views onto Woolacombe beach are second to none, especially the stunning sunsets that come with it. Already planning to book to come back next year! An unforgettable trip and a thankful couple to have been able to have experienced Woolacombe Sands the way we have 🥰
