Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Myself and a mate camped here. The facilities were excellent and really well looked after. The hosts were very responsive to text. Just down the road from North Devon Wake park and close to several great surfing beaches. 100% will be staying at Roey's again!

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Convenient location for us to stay for a one night stopover to catch up with friends who live in the area. All facilities available but basic, of which we have no complaints about, we are not fussy people. Quite a large site with ample space between pitches.

Great campsite close to Clovelly
