An amazing site with a lot of space

Ilfracombe Club Campsite
The site is very spacious and is a joy to stay at. Close to Ilfracombe, Woolacombe and Combe Martin. The site managers Gary & Sarah really care about the site and maintain it to a very high standard. Watermouth castle is a must for families with young children. Having no toilet block means it is good value for money.

Great site

Ilfracombe Club Campsite
Very friendly and helpful wardens, lovely open aspect from every pitch, in striking distance of great beaches and Devon places of interest. It’s brilliant value if, like us, you use caravan facilities. At a time when some club sites are £50 a night, this is a winning combination for a long family holiday. Make sure you follow club directions and don’t arrive before 1pm, otherwise you’ll block the lane!

Plenty of space at this well looked after peaceful site. There is a pub in walking distance, for anything else a short drive. My only criticism is that the club internet coverage is very poor. Excellent value for money and we look forward to returning.

Stayed for 8 nights on this site. It is well kept with caring wardens. The site has views of the surrounding countryside with a large play field & the best dog walk we have seen on club sites. The pitches are well spaced out. Would definitely return again.
