Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesApr 2024

Ideal location for visiting Clovelly. Helpful owners. Toilet & showers basic but adequate- might get busy when more campers (only 2 showers and 4 toilets) Would definitely recommend

Nice little site with great owners

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesApr 2024

Great little site ideal for the SW coastal path. Facilities nice and clean, plenty of hot water. Owners, Nick and Karen, lovely and so helpful. Walk to Clovelly and coast path about 20-30mins. Bus to Bude and to Biddeford picks up right outside.

Great place

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesOct 2023

Stayed for one night, great place, hot water, showers, microwave, kettle. The only downside- cars from the road nearby were too loud.
