About Lynmouth Holiday Retreat
This award winning holiday park enjoys sea views over the Bristol Channel that are nothing short of spectacular! Nestled in the picturesque Exmoor National Park, the site is ideal for a getaway and also a haven for furry friends, being a very dog friendly destination. For campers, there are a range of options that cater to every preference. Guests can enjoy a traditional camping experience on non electric or electric grass and hardstanding pitches, each named with a touch of charm - Valley View, Bay View, Beggar's Field, Rabbit Field, or The View. And don't worry about size, all pitches generously allow up to six. Alternatively, there are glamping options too. The two camping pods each sleep up to two people in a double bed with all linen provided, however please bring your own towels and cooking facilities. Inside you'll also have a sofa, small dining table, and bedside tables and outside there is picnic bench seating with incredible views. Whether you choose to relax on-site, explore the nearby beaches, or dive into the wonders of North Devon, boredom is simply not an option! Furry companions are welcome on all camping and touring pitches, along with a couple of the pods. There are even designated areas for dogs to roam off the lead and a convenient dog shower. The site has also picked up awards from Visit Devon and Visit South West. Campfires and fire pits are not permitted, BBQs must be raised off the ground. Gazebos and event shelters are also not allowed due to the exposed location. The site also offers a range of static caravans and holiday lodges onsite.

Really clean, beautiful location. Facilities were really good, toilets included a hair dryer. Overall, a lovely place. Just to note, the pub next door is closed permanently.

Regarding the pub, we understand it's disappointing β it's permanently closed, but please note that it's under separate ownership and out of our control.

I cannot recommend this site highly enough. I stayed for three nights in the middle of October my first solo trip away in my campervan. Although, one tiny downside is most of the pitches you'll need blocks for your vans as they all have a slight slope. I forgot mine, however, the staff said that I could have any one of the free pitches available to move to, so extremely accommodating. I've yet to go to a campsite with such good facilities. The toilet shower block all seem to be very new or if not kept in extremely good condition. What was lovely was when I went for a shower and it was freezing outside, the whole block was nice and warm! There are washing sinks with a small dishwasher, a freezer where you can put your ice blocks and a power bank for mobile devices. Lynton and Lynmouth is a beautiful place to visit quite a steep walk down to the town however, plenty of parking around, bear in mind it was mid October that I went. Valley of rocks is simply stunning. Also visited Ilfracombe half an hour drive away, which was worth a visit.

Your first solo trip in a campervan sounds like a memorable adventure! It's great that the staff were accommodating and that the facilities exceeded your expectations. The warm shower block on a chilly day must have been a treat! Sounds like you made the most of exploring Lynton, Lynmouth, and even ventured out to Ilfracombe. Thanks for sharing your experience, and hope there are more peaceful trips in your future!
Lovely quiet site

Lovely site with plenty of space. Very well kept with clean facilities, plenty of toilets, showers and pot washing sinks. You can walk to Lynton and Lynmouth through the fields and woods but it's hard going coming back. Just a few bits that people might be interested in if deciding to book - there is no lighting around the camping field so it's pitch black after dark - great for star gazing but you need a torch if you don't want to trip up. Also, there are no privacy cubicles in the facilities if you just want a wash or clean teeth in private. Take a torch into the facilities because the sensor doesn't pick up movement in toilets or showers - I learnt that one quickly!
Site's response
Sounds like you had a great stay! The lack of lighting does make it perfect for stargazing, but definitely something to keep in mind for future visitors who might not be prepared for the dark. Glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and clean facilities!
