Sprinter-Type Campervan - The View Fully Serviced Grass PitchesAug 2025

We stayed for 1 night at this fantastic well kept site. Located high above Lynmouth with stunning views. Very dog friendly. Pitches are large and we opted for serviced pitch. There are also non serviced pitches for off grid camping all with great views. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful about the park and the local area. Great communication via email to help with check in if you arrive after reception has closed. There is good sized enclosed dog exercise field. There are plenty of footpath walks around the park and reception staff are happy to point you in the right direction to find the best route. The toilets and showers were amazing and spotless which is a credit to the site team. The washing up area is good size with sinks facing other people which is good ice breaker to meet other people to chat while washing your things. There is a snack Airstream wagon that serves food and drinks and even milk shakes. Even cocktails is you wanted to try something fun. If you wanted fresh baked bread all you have to do is place your order the day before and its baked onsite for the next morning. Overall this is a really nice site with everything you need for your stay on site. We stayed for 1 night to try and this site is top of our list to return on our next visit to North Devon. Highly recommend this site 10/10.
