Willingcott Club Campsite is a spacious site divided into separate areas by Devon Banks. The campsite is both quiet and peaceful out of peak season yet offers a vibrant family site at other times of the year.

If you are looking for an active break, the Willingcott Club Campsite also boasts direct access for cyclists to the National Cycle Network route 27 and North Devon Cycle Network. You can enjoy surfing at nearby Woolacombe, which is known as one of the best blue flag beaches in the country and glimpses of Lundy Island can be seen across the water which makes for a captivating sight. For golfing enthusiasts, Woolacombe & Mortehoe which is 2 miles from the caravan site.

The site is only a mile from Borough Farm, home to the Channel Five series 'Mist Sheepdog Tales'. This is a great day out and the whole family can enjoy the falconry and sheepdog display which stars 'Mist' the sheepdog. If you are a bird watcher, Braunton Burrow is just seven miles away and for fishing you can enjoy nearby Blakewell Fisheries and Slade Lakes. With miles of coastal footpaths for hardy walkers and dog owners, this holiday getaway offers something special for everyone.

4-day visit

We had 4 nights here staying on a hard standing in the lower part of the site, the upper part being a bit featureless. The site’s main asset is the tarmacked Tarka path/cycleway which follows a disused RW line right past the site to Ilfracombe. All walks start... Show more

Perfect for exploring North Devon

This is a lovely well maintained site perfectly located to explore North Devon by foot, cycle or car.

Peaceful site with lots of space

We stayed for five nights with our caravan early July. Parts of the site, particularly the grassed pitches are quite informal and do require levelling blocks. On some days it was only 25% occupied, and some caravans were on seasonal pitches, hence the site being quiet. Lots of birdlife and... Show more
