Good value for money

Ilfracombe Club Campsite
Stayed for 8 nights on this site. It is well kept with caring wardens. The site has views of the surrounding countryside with a large play field & the best dog walk we have seen on club sites. The pitches are well spaced out. Would definitely return again.

Superbly run site.

Ilfracombe Club Campsite

The wardens looked after us all year, from helping with our awning, to helping me when I stupidly didn’t check that the van was secured on the tow bar….twice… I know.. drivers responsibility 🤫 There are the basics here for caravans an motohomes. If you want an on site loo and shower, go b&b instead. Location is great. We love it

Ilfracombe Cub Site 🤗

Ilfracombe Club Campsite
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 Club Campsite
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 Club Campsite
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
