If you like club sites that do not have full facilities then this could be the one for you. The site benefits from being in a rural setting yet is close to both the beaches and shops. Views and sunsets over
Barnstaple Bay are outstanding. Access to the site from the A361 is very easy.
earley break
End of march break, not the best weather but site kept in perfect condition. Very helpful staff. It always surprises me that it seems under used. Possibly because of no toilets or hard standings but give it a try. Lovely views and close to many places . Motor home parking in ilfracombe is hard but drive through the town centre until you get to the swimming baths and stacks of room with lovely views and a great walk to town centre and the headland.
Warden Gold Award!
We have been to this site now for the past three years. We are awarding Kath and Pete, The Wardens, a Gold Award... Not only have they acomplished all that you expect from a Caravan Site but gone above and beyond their duties to help us. We are indebted to them for all of their help, support and guidance, all which came with a smile, even on one occassion when they gave up some of their precious day off to help us out.... Thankyou Kath and Pete... You are Stars and a great asset to the Caravan Club!!

Well I'll be blowed
We stayed at this Site for 4 nights, and we should have realised on the way up the hill with the 3 wind Turbines in view that it was exposed to the weather, but never mind, it will put the awning to test, thank heavens, there's a caravan Dealer just down the road, quarter of a mile, first thing in the morning we were purchasing storm tie down straps, so be warned, if the weather looks Stormy, take heed of the Wardens Sign, "Advisable to Dissemble Awnings" Wardens Kaye and husband really helpful and give warm welcome, great couple, Must be voted as "Best Wardens of the Year".

Happy Holidays
We have visited this site for a number of years and really enjoy the peace and tranquility. This is the first year we have tried storing the caravan on the site for the summer season, it worked very well for us and the wardens Kath and Pete were always very helpful and friendly. They always let us know in advance if they were going to be off duty on the day of arrival and advising us which of our prefered pitches would be available. It is a shame that the season is so short and we have now reluctantly taken our caravan home but we are already planning for next year! We will definately return to this site in the future

Could not be any better
This is the first time that we have ever written a review but felt to write in praise of the wardens at
Ilfracombe club site. We first came for a 3 week break in 2013 and were so impressed that we decided to take a seasonal pitch in 2014, Unfortunately my husband was diagnosed with liver cancer and had to undergo surgery so we could not take up the pitch until early June 2014. Had it not been for the kindness and helpfullness of the wardens I doubt that we would have been able to stay for the rest of the season . They found us a pitch close to chemical disposal/water point and were continually kind and helpful.We consequently came back for the 2015 season. They are truly lovely people and an asset to the caravan club.The site is always immaculate. We are only so sorry that they are leaving for another site next year where we know that they will be a great success.

Site wardens
I have just read a review of this site and strongly disagree with the comments regarding the warden. This is the seconed year we have been here and the wardens are some of the best we have met over the years we have been members. Like the person who gave the review we arrived on the wardens day off but we had been contacted by the warden previously told that they would be off and an envelope with our name on it would be at the office containing the welcome pack giving details of the site etc. There are some dogs 2 fields away but they can only be heard if the wind is coming from that direction which is not all that often. This is certainly one site we intend to revisit.

Excellent site
First of all we just cannot believe the previous review We dont know how long thesepeople have been caravaning but it appears that they take alot of pleasing.what do they expect on Devon country lanes or would they like a site adjacent to a motorway !!We have been members for 35years and visited this site along with many others The wardens on this site are absolutely first class.They are always willing to help anyone,and certainly deserve a few hours off.This typeof ste is perfect in every way for us as we have all our own facilities. Its a very peaceful site with a short walk to the village pub for excellent food. A&J Needham plus Barney the Westie wh loves the dog walk
Could be better!
Warden off on Saturday so no one to greet. Instructions left on where not to pitch! Did not get a very friendly reception from female warden, who was not on duty & made that very clear, started our holiday off on a bad footing after we had been travelling for over 4 hours. Dogs in an adjoining field very noisy, sounded like a pack, which was irritating after the first few days. Down a narrow lane which could potentially be a nightmare if you met a van coming in the opposite direction, a caravan arrived at 10 am on the morning we left, what happened to no access on site until 12 pm, fortunately we did not leave until 11am. Won't be going there again, views were fairly good on the top field but otherwise not great. Site is surrounded by wind turbines which could be off putting for some.

Great Wardens
stopped here for 2 wks. The site is kept in pristine condition even though there is no toilet block.Chemical disposal, bins etc cleaned and emptied every day. The wardens were nothing short of brilliant, the most friendly and helpful and a credit to the club. Will be coming back next year.
