Why stay here ...

Since 1962, Damage Barton Club Site has been lovingly run by the Lethbridge family who are now experts at ensuring you have the most relaxing and enjoyable break possible. Their years of experience in running this caravan park on the site of their historic working beef and sheep farm of 600 acres means that it won't be just the panoramic sea views that take your breath away. Explore the vast network of footpaths leading from the site, right the way across the farmland and out on to the SW coastal path, with many traditional local pubs just a short walk away.

You won't want to forget your binoculars as Damage Barton gives you the opportunity to experience some stunning examples of birdlife (including nesting peregrines in season), numerous wildflowers and farm animals. During Easter there is the lambing and calving for you to enjoy. You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches - Woolacombe's Blue Flag beach for sand and surf, Barricane for shell seekers, Lee for rockpooling and many smaller coves to explore.  Cyclists will enjoy the old railway line to Ilfracombe or along the Tarka Trail cycleway from Braunton to Barnstaple and beyond.

Fabulous views over the Bristol Channel to Swansea and the Gower. You can actually watch the rain arriving as it moves up the channel. ;) Well tended and cared for site. The facilities block at the top is more modern than the one down the side which is clean... Show more

Great site with fabulous walking opportunities

Really enjoyed our stay here recently. Will echo the comments of another recent reviewer who stayed around the same time, don’t waste your money on the WiFi which cost £10 for two days… it was unreliable at best. If it was free I would have had no issues but when paying... Show more

Good Site in lots of ways

Lovely site. Good position. Good walks direct from the site. V Good facilities. My only gripe is I paid £10 for 48 hrs WiFi that was pretty useless

Definitely lives up to the hyoe

What a gem! Fantastic views, amazing sunsets and immaculately maintained. Great welcome and the pitches are great - can be windy though but as you’d expect given its location.
