We have been using this site for years. It is in a fabulous location for walking both along the coast and inland on Exmoor. The wildlife is wonderful.
There is a lovely little beach at Lee Bay (the tide has to be out for sand) and numerous cafes for that essential cream tea. There are various trips to local places - Lynton, Lynmouth, Ilfracombe, Porlock (try the open top bus from Lynmouth), Combe Martin etc.
Lyn and Dave - the Holiday Managers - have been the epitome of the "Friendly Club" over the years. They look after the site and their guests beautifully. They couldn't be more helpful and we both regard them as good friends.

we have just come back from here the campsite was nice it was peaceful the staff was friendly. My issues with this campsite were that the play ground wasnt really suitable for toddlers as the wooden steps on the slide were too far apart and only had 1 baby swing toilets and showers could do with up dating and the freezing facilities you have to buy their freezer blocks at 50p each then you have to give the freezer blocks back when you have finished with them (you dont get your money back)because they only have a small freezer also we think they should update the shop sell more items and we had to travel by car to get to places as the walks was not suitable for younger children listed as coastal only if you go by car or go by the steep hill walk which is a mile and half. great for couples with older kids (9 years upwards) who are active or anyone wanting a peaceful break .

Secluded site so if you fance a bag of chips or a pint bring them with you or you can take the 1 mile walk down a steep track to Lynton and hope you don't have a heart attack walking back up.
I was on a grass pitch and this area had a fair old slope to it in places ok for a small van but larger should stick to the hard standing area which is flat.
Only thing I wasn't keen on was the only place to walk my dogs was out on the road so I had to take them off in the car elsewhere for a run.
I put moderate access because ideally you should avoid the A39 Minehead to Lynton as this is none to caravan friendly

Lovely peaceful site, we enjoyed our stay on this site, however, the only complaint I have is that it could do with a family shower cubicle. Saying that, they have lovely clean facilities.

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at this very good site.
The site manager and his assistants were very friendly and helpful. The site was busy, but we did not feel crowded in. There is a small play area for the children and a reasonable sized field set aside for ball games. We were on the top field which afforded some spectacular views of both the sea and Exmoor; if there was a downside to the views it would be that the field is exposed to the wind. The ablutions were well kept and there was plenty of hot water.
The location is perfect for some spectacular coastal walking - be prepared for some steep climbs. Lynton is a one mile walk from the site along a narrow track – signposted as unsuitable for motors. The walk back requires a level of fitness as the track is steep.
Would definitely visit again and recommend to those who enjoy the outdoor life.

My eight year old and I have just returned from two weeks at this site. We are already looking at ways to visit again. We had a pitch in the top field which was camping at its most natural - no roads/paths, beautiful view of the sea and many sunsets. The stewards were extremely friendly and helpful.
There are many walks and attractions within the area suiting a wide variety of interests.
The small play park and playing field provided a meeting point for children of all ages to make new friends.
The toilet and shower block was always clean and in good condition even on the wet weather days.
We both made many friends and felt part of a wider community. There was a very positive atmosphere throughout.

Excellently run site in quiet hilltop location 20 mins steepish walk down to the famous Victorian resort of Lynton, with its unique cliff railway. Perfectly satisfactory showers & WC. Wonderful base for good walk to Foreland Point, Valley of the Rocks, or riverside woodland trail to Rockford via Watersmeet tea rooms.Exmoor/Dunkery Beacon not far + ferry to Lundy from Ilfracombe. Enjoy!

Although the site was high and exposed in parts, we were given a sheltered pitch as there were high winds when we arrived. We had a warm welcome and the site managers were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our 12 day stay. Some facilities are ageing, but were always spotless and more than adequate. Unfortunately we had a family emergency during our stay, and at that time the staff were exceptionally helpful and sympathetic for which we thank them. Although the weather was "iffy" we had an almost perfect holiday - it is a beautiful area and the site made an ideal base. The green lane from the site into the Valley of the Rocks is one of the best walks ever.

Although there was a misunderstanding with our booking on arrival, we found the site extremely well run by friendly staff. All facilities spotlessly clean. Thank you.

We found it a lovely friendly site. Stayed with my husband during half term week - it was a joy to see the kids having such a fantastic time in & around the playground. Most of the pitches slope to some extent, but that's inevitable given the nature of the surrounding countryside. Shower block old, but very clean. There was only one washing machine & dryer, which is probably ok outside school holidays, but can get very busy when lots of families are staying. Lots to do in the local area.

I have just spent 4 days at this site with my (grown up) children and grandchildren. Dave and his wife could not have been more attentive and caring when we arrived. They made us feel very welcomed. My grandchildren had a wonderfull time playing on the swings and slide with lots of other children who could not have been nicer. I recommend this site to anyone with children. It is friendly, clean and somehow has a very relaxed feeling. Lots to do with kids within a very short distance. Go there!

My family and I stayed here. We have been before lots and lots and we really love the site. One of the main things I really love is that there are all sorts to do like: beach, shopping, steam train, horse riding and more. Dave and Lynn are really nice and friendly. The only thing that dissapointed us was the toilets as they need a lot of work badly but are kept clean. The playground is lovely and it has two swings and a slide. There are always other children to play with. We wish the site stayed open in October.

DAVE AND LYNN WERE SO KIND AND FREINDLY. IVE JUST HAD 6 NIGHTS AT THIS SITE WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER AGED 6 AND MY SON AGED 12 AND ITS SO SAFE AND SECLUDED FOR THEM AS YOU CAN,T HEAR ANY CARS OR TRAFFIC. I,VE SEEN IN ONE REVIEW THAT THE FACILITIES BLOCK ARE DATED AND NEED DRAGGING INTO THE 20TH CENTURY. YES THEY ARE DATED BUT THEY ARE SPOTLESSLY KEPT CLEAN AND PLENTY OF HOT WATER. I PERSONALLY WOULD PREFER SOMETHING OLDER AND CLEAN AND PERFECT WORKING ORDER THAN SOMETHING MODERN AND FANCY THAT IS DIRTY AND DOES NOT WORK ! IF YOU WANT A PEACEFUL AND SAFE SITE WITH HARD WORKING OWNERS THAT HAVE HUMANITY AND KINDNESS THEN DO NOT HESITATE TO STAY HERE..... DAVE & LYNN,THANK YOU.

I last stayed at this site some 9 years ago and was told then the toilet block was going to be updated. On arrival this time we asked about the toilet block only to be told it still hadnt been updated although kept spotlessly clean. It is a lovely site in a wonderful position with very helpful site managers.

On arrival the staff were very helpful and friendly then let us pick our pitch and advised us on what the best pitch would be. The site itself was keep very clean and tidy and considering it tipped it down all week the showers and toilets were clean as well. The showers themselves are dated and could do with someone dragging then into the 20th century!!!!!!!! but worked well. Local area has lots to do and not far from Woolacombe and Ilfacombe. I would recommend this site to anyone.

To be brutaly honest I only stayed there as my girlfriend likes the area, I wasnt sure about the site and what it offered but when I got there I was pleasently surprised as it was the first site we had been to together. it is totaly friendly with clean facillities just what we needed not too big but small enough for a quiet stay. Would love to stay there again to see the sites we didnt get to see.
