Why stay here ...

Sadly, Ilfracombe Club Campsite has seen a decline in member visits over recent years, making it unsustainable to continue operations. As part of our strategy to focus on locations that better align with the requirements of the membership, we have recently acquired campsites like Lickpenny Matlock, enhancing our network in popular areas. While the closure of Ilfracombe may be disappointing, our UK Club campsite network now offers approximately 180,000 more available pitch nights than in 2018, across fantastic sites that cater to the interests of the wider membership.

Peaceful site

Ilfracombe Club Campsite
Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely site and best dog walk area ever; sections of wildflowers and paths. More interesting for me and my dog. Basic site facilities but well kept. Didn't quite get the views that are displayed and a bit remote for me. Nice pub and shop nearby but quite a hill coming back.

We love this site.

Ilfracombe Club Campsite
This is one of our favorite sites. Lovely friendly, helpful wardens and site is kept imaculate. Site is quiet and plenty of space between caravans. If you walk down to the village a bus does pick up opposite the pub going to Braunton and Barnstaple. Nice dog walking field its a shame people do not always pick up. We dont let our dogs off in the field.

Absolutely fabulous!

Ilfracombe Club Campsite
Having not been to a club site in 4 years, we are so glad we chose this site because it has the biggest pitches and nicest wardens (Gary and Sarah) we’ve ever come across. The location’s great (but mind your 1pm rule!!) and 5 mins from Woolacombe with a fab dog friendly beach. The village is lovely with a great pub, The Crown Inn (also dog friendly). Please keep this site open. It might not have a facilities block but who needs one, when you’ve got a posh van. Gary and Sarah keep a lovely site and clearly care about what they do.

Lovely Site

Ilfracombe Club Campsite
We stayed at this site last week and I have to say it's one of the most peaceful club sites I've been on. There is an excellent pub just a short walk down the line and everything else is literally on your doorstep 10 to 15 minutes away. Most excellent clean and tidy site and we will definitely be returning.

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.
