Ilfracombe Cub Site 🤗

Ilfracombe Caravan Club Site
We’ve just spent our first time here and it will certainly not be the last ! It’s a superb site for both Caravans and Motorhomes. Close to Ilfracombe itself, which is a clean and pleasant experience, with lovely walks and different places to eat. The Site itself is very well laid out and maintained by the Wardens , who are dedicated and a credit to themselves and the Club. Perhaps the lack of a toilet block facility might put some people off, the choice is yours! It was the end of season for some but still lots to go and do as the site is so well situated and we enjoyed lovely Autumnal weather. Humans and Dogs are all welcome as long as they behave !

Love this site

Ilfracombe Caravan Club Site
We have stayed at this site a few times now and will keep coming back because it is exactly the type of site we like. It is really quiet and because it has no facilities it doesn't seem to get too busy or noisy, even when it is quite full. It is nice and close to some fantastic beaches and the coastal path, so there is always some good walks to be had. The only downside for us motorhomers is there is a manhole for emptying waste water rather than a grid (which is much more back-friendly!) but I understand the Club will be changing the man holes to grid at some point. All in all I fully recommend this site.

Great Site

Ilfracombe Caravan Club Site
We have been members of the Club for 40years and visited this site for 30years.We have a caravan with facilities which we like to use for hygiene So I can't get my head around people saying that this site shouldn't be classed as a club site These people should read the details before booking and go elsewhere Apart from this its a great site which as been vastly improved by these wardens Their hardwork as been wonderful turning this site around If you visit book Sunday lunch at the Crown in the village its excellent. All I can say if booking the site please read the details before booking

A most welcoming stay

Ilfracombe Caravan Club Site
After reading some of the reviews I was a little worried, but we had a lovely welcome from the wardens on duty. The site is quiet and peaceful and a great place to relax. We were in a camper van so showers and toilets would be a great improvement for this site, we brought our own toilet etc but a shower would be good. We cycled from Braunton to Barnstaple on the Tarka trail, it’s a lovely flat route. The shop in the nearby village is good and about a mile away, the walk back is uphill but not a problem if you are used to walking.

Looking forward to coming back!

Ilfracombe Caravan Club Site
Despite the storms overnight the other weekend, we can't wait to be back this weekend. We are a tricky 'set up' with VW camper + little caravan but Sarah is amazing at answering my numerous anxious 'newbie' questions. On arrival last time (late due to dreadful traffic) - Helen & Trevor were wonderful - welcoming tired travellers and setting us up on our pitch. If you have a new Winterhoff tow-hitch then Trevor is 'your man'. We could not work out how to unhitch it - Google revealed it to be a nightmare for other 'newbies' too. Thank you Trevor for rescuing us!!! I love this site: it's quiet with beautiful natural areas set-aside for wildlife, a fab enclosure to let the dogs go crazy & generous grass pitches. If you need facilities & entertainment this is not the site for you. If you love simplicity & tranquility in a natural setting then it's perfect. PS my 5 star rating for "Facilities and cleanliness" relates to cleanliness - you need to have your own facilities to stay on this site.
