Wonderful, personal service from the owner. This is a level, lawned site with great views. It is set a bit back from the noisy, hurly burly of the coast, close to the lovely town of Barnstaple. Excellent visit, we intend to return.
Very nice camping with stunning views

Very nice site, Charles, the 'gaffer' as he calls himself, is very friendly and nothing is too much for him. Facilities are older but very clean. Pitches are very large and the view is spectacular (if you are Dutch anyway😄). Highly recommended!
Fantastic campsite
