About the site


This award winning holiday park enjoys sea views over the Bristol Channel that are nothing short of spectacular! Nestled in the picturesque Exmoor National Park, the site is ideal for a getaway and also a haven for furry friends, being a very dog friendly destination. For campers, there are a range of options that cater to every preference. Guests can enjoy a traditional camping experience on non electric or electric grass and hardstanding pitches, each named with a touch of charm - Valley View, Bay View, Beggar's Field, Rabbit Field, or The View. And don't worry about size, all pitches generously allow up to six. Alternatively, there are glamping options too. The two camping pods each sleep up to two people in a double bed with all linen provided, however please bring your own towels and cooking facilities. Inside you'll also have a sofa, small dining table, and bedside tables and outside there is picnic bench seating with incredible views. The site also has two safari tents, each with a private hot tub and picturesque views of the valley and sea. Whether you choose to relax on-site, explore the nearby beaches, or dive into the wonders of North Devon, boredom is simply not an option! Furry companions are welcome on all camping and touring pitches, along with a couple of the pods. There are even designated areas for dogs to roam off the lead and a convenient dog shower. The site has also picked up awards from Visit Devon and Visit South West. Campfires and fire pits are not permitted, BBQs must be raised off the ground. Gazebos and event shelters are also not allowed due to the exposed location. The site also offers a range of static caravans and holiday lodges onsite.

Small Tent - Beggar's Field Electric Grass PitchesApr 2025

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.

Absolutely amazing
