VW-Type Campervan - Valley Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

The site is in a prestigious area with a fire pub/restaurant within 300m and Watermouth Bay Café within 300m in the opposite direction. On site food, bar and well stocked shop make this an easy site to stay at for camper vans and motor homes. The site is well laid out and in some areas has magnificent ocean and harbour views. Sadly the Ocean View area has no electric hook ups and the areas close by that do place you some 150 yds up a steep grassy bank from the ablutions and toilets etc. There is a slightly less demanding road route of about 200m. For those less agile a trip to the loo can be quite testing. The lower pitches in the valley are close to the amenities but put you on the main commuter route for the site. Also, the sun moves off earlier than the hill side pitches. All pitches are of generous proportions and grass, and there is an excellent children's play area within woodland by a stream.

An amazing stay

The location of this site is perfect. The owners and those that work onsite go above and beyond to ensure an amazing stay…. And it is certainly that 🙂 It’s very clean, the pitches are generous, the showers and washrooms are superb. The shop onsite is great vale for money which provide bbq’s and fire pits for a cosy night around your pitch or if you prefer the food provided onsite is very tasty, you can also treat yourself to a tipple or two from the bar they have there, again, both reasonably priced. Thank you ALL for a wonderful stay (our second visit) and we will definitely be back again 😎😎

Ideal location.

So pleased with this campsite, really clean and the staff and owners were great. Facilities spot on especially with the addition of the pop up food and bar. Most importantly the kids loved it, the play area is brilliant. This was our 7th NCT friends camping trip, we will definitely return.

Great location and views

VW-Type Campervan - Ocean View Non Electric Grass Pitches (Not Allocated)Sep 2024

Great site with fabulous views from the top field. Fantastic facilities even had a pop up bar in high season with food available to order. If we had to nick pick, the path down to the facilities was grass and steep, so we chose to go round the longer route to avoid slipping. It did not deter from our overall experience and would definitely use again and recommend.

We had a great stay at Watermouth Valley camping site. Even though we didn't have the best weather, the site facilities made it really lovely. We enjoyed great meals from the onsite hut and it was also very enjoyable to use the little horse box bar on the Saturday evening. The local area was amazing and so beautiful. The site showers and loos are really clean and has everything you would need. The family who run the site are very friendly and extremely helpful. Many thanks, we will be back.

Lovely site

Lovely site with stunning views across the sea and a nearby "secret" beach that is like something from a film. Worth noting that much of the site is very exposed and if you're camping on top of the hill, the toilets are at the bottom. Lovely friendly staff, sheep and goats. Thank you!

Top field pitches need numbering. Had someone stick their tent right between mine and the next tent. Then, had the same happen 2 days later on the other side. Was a joke. No privacy or consideration. People should be told on arrival not to pitch so close. Needs a drinking tap also in field. Only found the 1 by reception, too far away.

Lovely site, clean and friendly

We loved this site, small enough to be quiet but with enough energy and buzz in it to not feel too sleepy. We had to leave early due to illness and they very kindly refunded us for a couple of nights as they were able to let out our pitch. The small bar and different foods each night was so brilliant when we didn't want to travel or cook. I've never experienced such clean bathroom facilities - wonderful! Would highly recommend and definitely will return.

Great location and staff

What stands out the most is the family feel. All staff were really friendly and helpful. Whilst there were lots of families, it still felt peaceful; the site was always quiet by 10pm. We really enjoyed the onsite catering too!

Great little spot

Excellent facilities and very helpful staff. Food, drink, and shower facilities top notch, lovely site and great location. Some pitches did seem a bit boggy under the trees, but really not a problem and understandable considering the amount of rain this summer. Will certainly be returning!

Beautiful campsite, everything you need for ease of camping

Medium Tent - Valley Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

We had a brilliant week of camping at Watermouth Valley. Super location, friendly staff and great food served on site. We were a group of families with smaller kids and took trips to Watermouth Castle (2 minute walk) and into Combe Martin for rock pooling which was around 10 minutes on the bus from right outside the campsite. There is a large pub next to the site that serves decent food and it is a 15 minute walk down to a sandy beach cove, although this does involve a lot of steps!

Stunning friendly campsite

Stayed at this beautiful campsite for a few nights this week and it was stunning. We had sea views from our tent, was walking distance to the site's own pretty little beach that had calm waters and was perfect for a morning swim. There was a little bar and food available to buy if you didn't fancy cooking and a shop for the essentials and friendly staff. There was plenty of toilets and showers. The site was on the coastal path, so perfect for exploring the other little places along the coast. It was very close 5 mins walking distance to a pub, a lovely little cafe on a harbour and a castle, so had a bit of everything. There were games to play for free, which was a huge plus, like table tennis, table football, and a couple of undercover spaces for when it was rainy to play cards and have a drink from the bar. Although in the height of summer, there was lots of other people on site but it didn't feel crowded. The hill from the toilets to the sea view field was very steep but without this, it wouldn't be such a lovely view! Not an issue but something to to be mindful of if you struggle with hills - although there were lots of other options that were closer to the loos that weren't in this field. Also, the sea view field was slightly sloped - didn't bother us too much but if you're keen on somewhere completely flat, there other pitches on site that were flatter not in the sea view field. One other thing - the toilets and the showers were in the same cubicles down by the shop area, which meant if you needed the loo in the morning, you had to wait for people to have showers. There was a big block of showers and toilets down the path though, so as long as you know that and can hold on for a little bit of a longer walk, it's fine. These things didn't effect our stay though and still found the site to be fabulous, just some things to note on the choice of pitches. We will definitely be back!!

Lovely stay

We loved our stay, the location was very picturesque, very good value for money. The kids had so much fun at the kid's games room. The cleanliness was very good, all the toilets and bathrooms were cleaned regularly. The only criticism is that more toilets and showers could be placed at the top of the campsite as it seemed a long way to go the facilities especially in the night. Otherwise, a lovely stay/

Superb site!

Such a lovely site, great for the kids with a large park area and games room. The food onsite was brilliant and catered for my daughter who is gluten free, which was a pleasant surprise. Pitches were big and electric hook-up spot on! The beach was beautiful (but a full workout getting there and back with the exceptionally steep 240 steps!) 100% recommend this site and would love to return :)
