Motorhome - Large Fully Serviced Touring and Motorhome PitchesJul 2022

The site has friendly and helpful staff, who are knowledgeable about the local area and keen to share this knowledge with guests. Hele Bay itself has limited facilities on offer, with one shop that seems to have very irregular opening times. Most grocery supplies can be purchased at the local garage, however, and there is a pub close to the site. If walking is your thing, the coast path is glorious and only a five-minute walk from the site, making it an ideal spot to explore the picturesque coastal walks on the doorstep.

Excellent stay, very helpful staff

Immaculate pod with everything we needed. Such friendly and helpful staff. The site was so clean and well kept. In walking distance of a beach and eating pub. Bus service was excellent, so we didn't need to use the car. Will definitely be going again.

Highly recommend

First stay at Hele Valley and definitely not the last. The team made us all feel really welcome and were very friendly and approachable. The park was very well kept and the toilet and shower facilities were up there with some of the best I have experienced. Loved the ability to walk into town and the little local bay. It's a huge yes from me! Thanks for having us.

Lovely site

An excellent site, beautiful surroundings, and handy for Hele beech. The bus stop is just outside camp, Ilfracombe harbour is a 20 minute walk, but 5 minutes on the bus. A very clean site and immaculately kept. First class!

We especially loved the absolutely delicious meals that you can pre-book to take back to your campervan or eat at their home on Comyn Farm at the end of the campsite. Beautiful set up and amazing food, was very pleasant and the chef was very friendly, with lovely garden for our children to run around!

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Large Fully Serviced Touring and Motorhome PitchesJun 2022

Disappointed because I had the wrong impression of the site from the reviews. At almost double the price per night we've paid this year for similar pitches, I was perhaps expecting something really special which I didn't get. Although the pitch we had was large, the whole site feels really cramped and I had thought the beach could be accessed from the site, but in fact a busy main road has to be crossed. The code to access the shower block put me off using it, but my husband said the showers were nice. WiFi was free but it kept dropping. Around us were lots of families who seemed to know each other - lovely for them, but I felt like a gate crasher at someone else's party. The staff were lovely and for families the site is great (just know that it's a 10/15 minute walk on roads to the lovely little beach), but for us the wrong side of middle aged, it was disappointing and definitely not worth £40.

Site's response

Good afternoon Clare, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your stay with us, it is always appreciated. We are sorry to see that you were expecting something totally different on booking our site and you felt the park is cramped and overpriced. The park is rated 5 stars and is maintained to a really high standard. The pitches are large with lots of room between each pitch. The campsite was full on the night you stayed due to it being the bank holiday for the Jubilee and lots of people were making friends to celebrate the special event either on the park or in the local area. We are sorry to read you felt like a gate crasher but can assure you this would not have been the case. Sometimes the weather can affect the wifi or the amount of people using it but it is provided totally free of charge for our customers to use. We have codes on the male and female shower blocks so they are secure and safe for our customers and that they are only used by our touring and camping customers at the site. It's a shame you did not get to try the showers as they are really lovely! We are pleased your husband tried them though. The local beach is lovely and glad you you went and explored this. It is only a short walk from the park and you do need to cross the road to get to it. We do advertise that the beach is close by but there is no direct access from the site We are sorry that the site is not for you but appreciate that you feel it would be great for others and have recommended the site for families and you found the staff to be lovely. Thank you again for the feedback

Perfect for family camping

Just returned from 4 nights. Great site, perfectly located. We loved that the site was relatively small, quiet and really well located for visiting the surrounding areas. The facilities were really clean and tidy and never too busy. Our children loved the play area, perfectly located behind our tent. We'd loved to return again next year.

Such a great campsite! The staff were so lovely - welcoming, friendly, eager to help and made us feel so at home we didn't want to leave! The campsite itself has a wonderful atmosphere. The layout was cleverly organised. All the facilities were cleaned regularly throughout the day, ensuring spotless showers and toilets. The location of the campsite suited us down to the ground. It was within walking distance of a beautiful beach and a friendly pub/restaurant. While also being central to all the amazing attractions North Devon has to offer. We enjoyed our time at Hele Valley campsite so much we actually booked our next stay there before we even left! We're counting down the days until we return. We are definitely going to recommend this campsite to our friends and family!

Very nice site, a bit narrow if you've got a big van, but there were still big vans on the site.

Good afternoon Leighton Thank you for taking the time to review your stay here at Hele Valley and glad you found the site to be lovely and enjoyed your stay with us.

Motorhome - Large Fully Serviced Touring and Motorhome PitchesMay 2022

Lovely site. Pretty setting and good dog walks from the site. You need a good level of fitness to walk into Ilfracombe as it's really hilly. Taxi back to site is only £6. The only downside is the trees cast a shadow over your pitch if you are by the stream in the afternoon and the access to the site is tricky.

Site's response

Good morning, thank you for taking the time to review the park and we always welcome feedback. We are pleased you found the site to be in a lovely setting and you found some good dog walking routes from here. North Devon is a very hilly area but glad you were able to use the local taxi when needed. We also have local buses running from just outside the park which go to the local towns and beach areas if needed. The turning into the park is a little tight but manageable. We are set in a valley with lots of trees and can cause some shadow in some parts of the park which can also be helpful when it is really hot in the summer.

Clean and well-equipped campsite
