CAMC Member - Stayed May 2023

Only just leaving a review but we stayed in May 2023 and this was our second time staying at this site after such a lovely stay in 2022. We are coming back in August 2023! It is simply brilliant. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The site and pitches are very well kept. There is a large recreation field where you can play racket and ball games. The designated dog walk field at the top of the site is OK, but the one at the bottom is far better. The shower and toilet facilities are excellent. Very clean. Every pitch has a sea view which is lovely. The shop is well stocked. Food vans often arrive at the site on an evening. It would benefit from a childs playground with equipment, ie swings, slides etc. Not being able to leave your dog in your caravan can be awkward, especially as some places we wanted to visit during the day dont allow dogs. Unfortunately this is the reason we are not bringing the dog with us in August. It is a shame as most CAMC sites allow you to leave them providing they are comfortable, well behaved and dont cause a nuissance while you are gone. I understand this can be hard to police though. Overall we highly recommend this site.

Definitely lives up to the hyoe

What a gem! Fantastic views, amazing sunsets and immaculately maintained. Great welcome and the pitches are great - can be windy though but as you’d expect given its location. Easy access to footpaths. All facilities are in great condition and always really clean. Probably the best showers at any site I’ve stayed with waterfall and adjustable heads, loads of hot water and no push buttons! Thank you to all the site staff who clearly take pride in their work.

Too windy for awnings!!!

A lovely clean site with beautiful sea views, the wardens are extremely friendly and helpful. The Ship Aground in Mortehoe served up a very nice meal, we also pre-ordered a pizza from the site shop which was extremely tasty and I would certainly recommend. Woolacombe beach is just beautiful and about a 20 minute drive away is the fabulous village of Lynmouth, absolutely worth a visit :) The only thing I would put out there for anyone who likes to have an awning up, we do as it gives us more space for our two dogs, because of the openness of the site and lack of trees, it can be extremely windy, after night two and an extremely worrying night thinking we may loose our awning we decided to move to a site more sheltered a few minutes away for our remaining 5 days. But obviously this isn't the sites fault it is just it's position, you wouldn't get the views otherwise!!

A- mazing place to stay

OMG when we booked in 2020, we didnt realise the amazing place this was, on entering the site it was so stunning and the lady said to me when I booked you would need to stay longer so due to the pandemic we had to cancel and rescheduled for this year, we have just returned from a wonderful stay and what a heatwave..... we had a brilliant stay and would highly recommend this site, it is stunning, the view, the atmosphere, the food and the people are so lovely, WE WILL BE BACK!!

Love Love Love this site

Our second visit to this site and only wish it were closer to home so we could visit more often. The views are fabulous, with amazing sunsets if you're lucky! Yes it is an open site and I would imagine in bad weather you are quite exposed but we have been extremely lucky on both of our visits. Morthoe village is really nice, fish and chip shop, pub, tea rooms, post office selling basic supplies. There are some fabulous walks out to Morthoe point and Bull Point Lighthouse. Also a must visit is Lee Bay, very steep road down into the bay but great for rock pools and take a walk back up from the beach along the footpath to a delightful pub and beer garden. A cycle along the coast road to Woolacombe with a couple of delightful bays before the main stretch of sand, Barricane Beach was particularly good as it has a really good take away at the back of the beach, all the usual stuff you'd expect but at 5pm the menu changes to authentic Thai food, didn't hang around long enough to try it out but if the smell was anything to go by it might be worth a try on a sunny summer evening. The facilities on this site are second to none and a welcome relief from all the rules and regulations from the usual CAMC club sites at the moment (yes I know we are in the middle of a pandemic and we have to be careful and considerate not only of other members but also the staff who have to clean and maintain the facilities) but if this site can manage it I'm sure others could take a leaf out of their books. Excellent rubbish and recycling facilities, onsite shop which couldn't be more helpful, although a little expensive. Pizza and chips available on most evenings, only had the chips, which were at least real potatoes! Will always come back whenever we are this way.

Can't speak highly enough of this site

This site must be the best in the whole of the country! The views are second to none. It is so very spacious. The facilities are super sparkling clean and spacious. The shop is most welcoming and well stocked. The ladies on reception are second to none with their welcome and a genuine desire to help at all times. WE WILL BE BACK SOON!!! Thank you to everyone involved in making this site so amazing.

Love this Site!

I booked on the Tuesday for the following Friday for a week. Fingers crossed that we had made a good choice as a week away is pretty precious! Arrived on site. We were so not disappointed! The people running the site and I mean everyone, were warm and friendly and very helpful. After the second day of going to the campsite shop the lady already knew his name! And wow! the views! this is one of the most beautiful sites we have ever stayed on, the views were stunning. You could even see Wales on a good day. Our pitch was perfect, looking right over all the countryside, cliffs and sea. We were right next to the dog walk, which was definetly the best dog walk we have found on a site before. Even a nice little area you can throw the balls for your dogs. I feel I am gushing, but to find such a beautiful site was so good. You have the professionalism and cleanliness of a CAMC without all the rules and regulations and someone mowing the grass around you 24/7. We will definetly be going back to this site and to beautiful North Devon again. Thank you to everyone who made our week stay so perfect.

Beautiful Sea Views

This site is very open and exposed with little in the way of trees or hedging. However it has great views on a clear day of the sea. We walked across the fields to Mortehoe and to Woolacombe and caught the bus back, which stops at the site entrance. Very useful! We had gluten free pizza and chips from the shop which we pre-ordered - great to have the gluten free option. Very friendly lady in the shop and it was well organised for social distancing. Our pitch was spacious and fairly level. However we were on the edge of the CC site and hadn't appreciated before we arrived that the site also has a large area for the Camping and Caravan Club adjoining it. The CC site has 45 pitches but the site is much larger than that implies. There are 2 facilities blocks which were clean, but we weren't really clear if we were only meant to use one of them (one was in the other area). We enjoyed our visit here very much.

Very clean and well managed.

Visited Damage Barton for a week in early September. First impressions were very positive. The site is spotlessly clean, well organised and laid out with spacious, (some more so than others), pitches which are a mixture of hard standing, (gravel - bring rock pegs!) and grass. Some pitches are fully serviced. TV reception was good. The site has an excellent shop which also does take away pizzas in the evenings. An excellent mobile fish and chip shop calls on a Monday evening but don’t leave it too late to get your order in as this can be very popular! The facilities; wash rooms, dishwashing and elsan areas followed suit and were kept spotless. There is also a good dog walk around the edge of the site with dog waste bins aplenty and there are good walks to the coastal path, Mortehoe and Lee directly from the site. For eating out we found Miss Fea’s Cafe, (aka the Smugglers Rest), at Mortehoe and the Rock Inn at Georgeham, both excellent. The site is large, much larger than we would normally go to, but very quiet. It is situated on a cliff top and has great views out to sea but it is at the mercy of the weather which can, and did, change very quickly. The wind, even on a nice day, can be very strong and sea mists can roll in, in an instant. Unfortunately, of our 7 day stay, we only had 2 nice days and they were for less than 7 hours on each day. The rest of the week, the wind blew and the rain poured whilst at home our neighbours were basking in 21degs! That said, the site cannot control the weather so that aside I would give it 10/10 especially if large, managed sites are your thing.

Brilliant Site

This is our 2nd visit to the site and again didn't disappoint us. Pitches are huge and well spaced, we had a hardstanding pitch. We arrived for 2 weeks on 4th July, day lockdown was lifted. Everything was well organised and felt really safe even though the site was becoming more full as the week went on.The site facilities are excellent and cleaned daily. The staff and wardens do an amazing job as always. We used the site to walk and cycle around north Devon and still we found something new around every corner. Cycled the Tarka trail, used the bike rack to get to different locations to start at so covered a really good stretch of it. We would highly recommend this site for relaxation, walking or cycling and wouldn't hesitate to use it again.
