This family friendly camping park is just 20 minutes from Broadsands Beach via cliff steps, a great base for families and groups looking for a coastal getaway. Within a five minute drive of Ilfracombe and Combe Martin, this is the perfect seaside escape!

All of the pitches measure around 10m x 10m, allowing up to six guests. Tents, trailer tents, caravans, campervans, motorhomes and RVs are all welcome, with the electric pitches including a 16 amp hook up.

You can even pick up kid's games and toys at the onsite shop. Dogs are more than welcome too, with up to four pups permitted per pitch. An onsite dog exercise area provides somewhere for walks too.

Great site with fabulous views from the top field. Fantastic facilities even had a pop up bar in high season with food available to order. If we had to nick pick, the path down to the facilities was grass and steep, so we chose to go round the longer route to avoid slipping. It did not deter from our overall experience and would definitely use again and recommend.
