Great dog friendly campsite with brilliant views of Lynmouth

We enjoyed our stay for 3 nights camping with our tent and two dogs. Lots of space for them to enjoy. Lynmouth is only a short 10 mins drive away or a few miles along the walking path. Campsite had facilities including an accessible shower room. Very clean and great that there was a dishwasher and washing facilities available to use too. Would say that is a quite long distance away from the bay view area so keep that in mind when booking if you have mobility problems. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend the Lynmouth cliff railway as a good day out whilst there.

Park was excellent. Great service. Friendly staff. Site and facilities are brilliant. Other users not keeping it clean was the only let down, but that isn't their fault. Only thing would change is prior warning needed coins to access laundry services. Will be coming back next year.

This is our first year motorhoming, first time to North Devon... and first time on North Devon roads (don't think the Romans made it here!) It's been an adventure but the site can't do anything about the roads! Given this, I would still rate the site highly. A small, dedicated, friendly team never seemed to stop working. This is a small site with a few static caravans, provision for motorhomes and 2 camping fields. All with beautiful views, and in walking distance of Lyndon, Lynmouth and Watersmeet river walk (note - moderate fitness required if you plan on walking back to site). The facilities are exceptional, the main block is all contained - male, female shower block and toilets, dish washing area (indoors) family shower room, laundry room. Very very clean. This is our 6th campsite this year and the best facilities we have encountered. Note - we took two young grandchildren (5 & 8 yrs) as a last minute change of plan and there is no play area. However, I would still highly recommend this site and will be returning, especially to do the river walk.

There is no doubt that the location is ideally suited for exploring this beautiful part of North Devon. It is a relatively small site set at the top of a hill on the main A39. This area in general is challenging for exploring with motorhomes/caravans, but is accessible with care. The site itself is clean and tidy and the staff very friendly and helpful; however the small reception/shop was often shut and not comprehensively stocked, so make sure you bring the majority of provisions needed! Having said that there were at least two nights where mobile food vans visited, one for pizza and the other Mexican dishes! Whilst the facilities were adequate, they would, in my opinion, benefit from an upgrade when compared against other more established sites. The showers were not very powerful and to get the best out of them, you needed to keep the button pressed and your body firmly up against the wall. Also the site does not contain many facilities to keep young children entertained, so bring board games and electronics if you want to stay on site! Having said that the stay was great value for money and is a perfect base for walking/hiking and exploring the North Devon coastline and the beautiful areas of Lynmouth, Lynton and the valley of the rocks - all a brisk walk away!

Although it rained and was very windy while we were there, the place was lovely and the toilets and showers were clean. You could order from reception for the next morning some delicious warm rolls or pastries. Absolutely divine. Also had a small van on site where you could order a breakfast bap and burgers/ chicken nuggets and chips later in the day. Will definitely go back.

After arriving at the site we had a warm welcome and given some of the amenities on offer. Setting up on our site was a breeze as we had ample room to position our tent how we would like, the pitch was on a slight slope but nothing to drastic. The facilities onsite were clean and of great quality with plenty of space for all. Locally there was the Beggers Roost pub, ideal for those not so pleasant nights or if you fancy a meal and a pint. The owner was very pleasant and accommodating. With plenty of walking routes to nearby Lynton and Lynmouth, you didn't have to go far for a bit of exercise. The site also boasts a couple of exercise plots for walking your pets if you didn't want to go far. Highly recommend staying here as it puts you slap bang in the middle of the coast and the moors.

The park has amazing facilities and the staff are all very welcoming and friendly. Having the field where you can let your dog off the lead is excellent as we took our 9-month-old lab who needed lots of exercise. The views are stunning from the campsite. Although there are pathways to walk from the campsite, I personally would have preferred to be closer to the beach as felt we had to drive most places. Overall our trip was enjoyable, even given the weather ๐ and would visit again

Location was ok, though windy narrow roads on the site. Quite uneven so needed levelling blocks. Staff were helpful and friendly. Looked like a new toilet/shower block, but needs more attention, i.e. had a lot of rain when there so I wore a coat to the toilet, but no hooks in the cubicle to hang it up. The shower cubicle has a seat and hooks above, but nothing in the shower area for your toiletries. Fixed shower head with only warm water, but it was push button only, which stays on for 10 seconds. Not impressed.
Site's response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments about the location and the helpfulness of our staff. We are aware of the shower duration issue, and we are committed to addressing this as soon as the season has ended. Your comments about the lack of hooks and toiletry are noted. Your feedback is crucial in our ongoing efforts to provide a better experience for our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and showcase the positive changes we've made based on your valuable input.

More on offer for the pod, as the pod was basic, against the cost. Could do with more coat hooks, a microwave, could add some small shelves rather than 1 large table, even a small sink and maybe some sort of awning/canopy so you're sheltered to sit outside and BBQ. Could really make a difference. The curtain rail was not straight, attention to detail. Staf were fab, really friendly and clean x

The campsite was very well organised. We were greeted with friendly staff at reception which offered fresh baked goods, which we could order for our stay. Each pitch was carefully allocated. The Lotus Belle tent was breathtaking, what a beautiful glamping experience - watching the stars as you drift to sleep in the comfortable bed. The electrical points, fridge and kettle inside the tent were a very welcomed luxury. The toilets and showers were super clean and very well equipped. 5* stay, absolutely no complaints!!!

Loved this park, even if it's a big site. We had amazing views of the sea and the walls are lovely. It's a big park with mobile homes but you wouldn't know as the fields are fairly small so limits how many can park up. Second time camping here. Facilities are very clean and lots of showers and toilets in one block. Just love the location walking into Lynton.

This has to be the best site I've stayed at. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. They say dog friendly and they certainly are. There are great dog walks on and off the site and my two fell in love with all the staff. All the facilities are spotless. The grounds are beautifully kept and the site is within walking distance of Lynton and Lynmouth. And, of course, if you don't fancy the climb back up to the site, the dog-friendly taxis are on hand.
