About Adventure Camping

This is a splendid spot to settle in for lots of Devon hotspots: you can walk to the Big Sheep theme park (or stroll to the local pub, five minutes away…), and a short drive gets you to places like Westward Ho! beach or to Barnstaple to hit the Tarka Trail. And, of course, you'll want to allocate some time to the fab range of antics organised by the site: several different adventure activities will be available to book during your stay, including climbing, high ropes, an assault course, kayaking and paddleboarding. There's a whopping 35 acres of space to play with here, so there is plenty of scope to play games or take strolls around the lake. Dogs are welcome on site, so feel free to bring them along for your Devon break here.

The site is open for weekends and school holidays between March and November.


Facilities and amenities

Facilities include toilets and hot showers, available 24 hours a day. There is also a cafe and two indoor socialising areas, a group fire pit and a chimenea hut that's available for a small charge.

The site is just a five-minute walk to The Thatched Inn pub, serving a tasty menu. A five-minute drive will take you to the centre of Bideford where you will find a Co-op and Morrisons as well as plenty more shops, restaurants and pubs.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Campervan PitchesMay 2024

We are so happy we came across this campsite online, it's brilliant! Easy to book, great facilities and real value for money! Check in was easy and our pitch was large and flat and overlooked the adventure lake. The site felt safe and there were plenty of places for the kids to run around and play football/frisbee etc. The washrooms, showers etc were clean and well maintained and the staff were so kind, calm and helpful.

Lovely spot close to the local amenities culture in the surrounding areas

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Campervan PitchesMar 2024

The site was well presented for the time of year. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The pitch was on a slight incline on grass, which was rather sodden after all the rain. This made it difficult to park so the staff laid plastic flooring down for us to drive on. We enjoyed our stay as first timers & look forward to visiting again.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2023

We had a lovely visit! The location was great, very spacious, well-maintained and very clean. There was lots of space to move around and it was great that we could choose our own pitch. Lots of space to be able to walk the dog. The one comment we would like to make, is that there was no seating inside the shower cubicle to be able to use when getting dressed/undressed. My partner has some disabilities and found it really hard to shower for this reason. We should have asked if there were any disabled facilities. We would definitely come back though, slightly better equipped next time as this was our first camping trip in our new tent.
