Reviewer: Kazholdforth4 1 review from this member

 Just visited Woolacombe for the first time along with another family who pitched next to us.  On entry to the site the views of the bay were fantastic.  The camp site was set quite a walk from the club house and shops, uphill on the way back however chance to walk off that barbecue food off!
 
Pitches were a fair size and we were lucky to be situated not far from the shower/toilet block just down a little bank.  The showers were immaculate, cleanest we have ever come across on any campsite, they say that they are cleaned twice a day but someone always seems to be there when we went in.  Think we have been spoilt with these facilities and these will be hard to beat anywhere else!
 
We had horrific wind and rain early hours of the first night we were there and this carried on through the whole days and next night, so word of advice if all seems calm and lovely when setting up always make sure your pegged well down.  The gazebo we were sharing with our friends bowed and broke and quite a few others around had done too.
 
Rest of the holiday was lovely weather, we walked down to the beach the 1st day just to see if its like they said "10 minute walk"  probably more like 20 and all down hill accross a field and down and quite narrow path and all the time thinking I'll never walk back up here!  We decided to walk back up Sandy Lane, for anyone thinking of doing this DONT!  I needed oxygen when I finally got to the top.  Take the open top bus from the site or your car, parking is £4.50 but if your spending the day down there which we did on Tues its worth it.  The beach is lovely and clean, well looked after.
 
Definitely return, even though took 5 hours to get there, however tried to book for August to find out totally booked up, we'll keep trying though!  


Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Ginger Geordie 3 reviews from this member

 Visited this site end of Aug/early Sep 2006. This site is HUGE!
 
We were a bit disappointed as we chose this location as it stated it was dog friendly, but you were not allowed to take them into the pub on site or anywhere other than your tent for that matter!
 
The site is located about a mile away from Woolacombe up a very steep, unlit, single track road. The showers were immaculate, each cubicle had a shower, a basin and a mirror. The showers were always very clean, hot and powerful. I would say there was about 40 of them in a unisex building with a steam room and sauna. They were by far the best facilities I have used when camping. However as the site is so huge they were so far away from our pitch you had to drive to them, as most campers seemed to do as the car park outside the block was always busy. This was all well and good, but we see camping as a bit of a boozy holiday and you can't drive to the loos once you have a had a few glasses of vino!
 
The campsite is also on top of a hill, which is unsheltered and very very windy! Obviously as it was a coastal site you do expect some wind, but tents were actually being blown flat to the ground, so much so that we ended our holiday prematurely to escape the wind.
 
Woolacombe beach itself is absolutely amazing. We will definitely return again next year but to a different campsite. Its personal preference but this was the first time we have stayed in a "holiday village" and despite the fantastic showers I still prefer a "normal" campsite!
 
There is also a swimming pool, health suite, social club style pub, a premier plus shop on this site but again it was very far away for campers. A good 15 minute walk from our pitch. It was very much static caravan village - there were hundreds of them and a lot of the facilities were based very conveniently for them, but not so much for the campsite.
 
Also a note for the girls - there wasn't a plug in the shower blocks to plug in your hairdryer or straighteners, although we did have an electric pitch.

 Visited this site in August and had a great holiday. Facilities were very clean and there was always someone from housekeeping around the shower block. Shower block was great with underfloor heating, a sauna and steam room free of charge.
 
Plenty for the kids to do, great adventure play park,fun clubs, only about 10 minute walk downhill into Woolacombe (caught the bus back - ticket for bus cost us £1 per person per week). Bus service was OK too saved money by not having to take car into Woolacombe (average cost to park car in Woolacombe was £4).
 
Pitch we stayed on was a good size and easily fit our large tent on it however some pitches did look quite small too.
 
Indoor pool was advertised as heated however we only lasted 10 mins in it because it was really cold!

Reviewer: Mrs jubbly 12 reviews from this member

 This is one of our favourite sites; lovely welcome, clean and up to date facilities, fabulous pools and good entertainment.  The area itself is gorgeous - Woolacombe village is a beautiful little resort, still unspoilt but with just enough to do to fulfill the kids.  The beach is stunning and you can get the campsite bus to and from it.  For three years running we stayed in statics and vowed to return even when funds were running low so went for the nylon option - we weren't disappointed.  The camping area is on down from the main static area and feels like a site in itself but at the same time is not far from the main amenities (clubhouse, pools etc) so you get the best of both worlds.  We didn't go back in 2006 as we couldn't go long distance this year but will deffinitely return.

 Good site for facilities: very clean toilets, pools are good (warm), shop good, but take out is very pricey - try the local pizza place that I saw deliver direct to the pitch number. BUT it is all on a slope. From the electric hookups you are looking at a steep slope back from the toilets, and getting back from the beach you need a car or the site's bus, the alternative is walking very steep hills (1 in 5 ) with no footpaths. I found bikes were pointless as the children had to push them back from the shop. But nothing beats the beach at Woolacombe.

 We went there last year and had a great time. There is loads to do for all ages and is really close to the beach. The area it is situated in is great with loads to do and see around.
The facilities were 100% spot on. They are all clean tidy and well kept.
I would recommend to anyone to go there and would without a doubt consider returning to this site.

 August 2004
My wife and 2 children aged 5 and 3 stayed for 1 week on an electric pitch at Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parc which is situated off a country lane about 1 mile from the beach.
The pitch size was fine and close to the hook-up and water point. No 101 is about as private as you can get. The shower block was a 2 minutes walk away down a gravel path. The showers got dirty very quickly due to other peoples disrespect of the facilities but it seems people fom 'all walks of life' visit the site. The outdoor swimming pool was warm and my kids loved it although it was a bit crowded.
The evening entertainment was typical holiday camp stuff: amusing for the children but it wouldn't be my choice. The main area was extremely hot; The room containing fruit machines which my 3 year kept straying into was like a sauna-literally!
The camp site staff were very helpful, the reception/bar staff less-so. My wife complained about a youth urinating in open view from a bar terrace and complained to a member of bar staff who witnessed this disgrace and failed to act appropriately.
One can see the sea from the campsite but the beach can only be accessed by wlking 1 mile down a very steep narrow country lane or down through the playground and through a field and path to the main road into Woolacombe. Take plenty of money for ice-creams etc. It cost me £6.20 for 4 99's !

I think these are wonderful sites. Altogether they have three, we have been three times in total to the twitchen park site, every year we have had a fantastic holiday. They have wonderful indoor and outdoor pools, childrens entertainment throughout the day and childrens play areas as well.
This year we are going to camp there usually we go in a caravan but we thought we would try camping after meeting a family there last year who have camped there for the last five years who have said they have enjoyed the site so much with wonderful facilities. Everything on the site is enclusive of your pitch price.

Woolacombe here we come.

Lively family site. Good playpark for kids and in door ballpit. Swimming pool enterance via tokens issued by reception. Advertised as having fishing on site, left a lot to be desired! Pitches were gently sloping (middle section of park. We asked for EHU for a tent and got a hard standing serviced pitch and we weren't the only tent in this situation. Good well stocked shop, toilet and shower block were clean and did the job. Washing Machine and Dryer were in ladies shower block. Entertainment in the family room was good and there was a 'sports bar' with televisions, pool and snooker tables. Ten pin bowling and amusement arcades and tennis courts are on site. The out door fun pool wasn't open - but the ducks loved it!On the whole I would go back it was nice and friendly.and clean.
