We were booked in for a week - first week of summer holidays. Lovely site, nice clean facilities, good shop and information at reception. Is possible to walk to a great rocky beach and not too far to walk to Woolacombe for those who like to walk (roadside or footpath) if not, there is a bus service there too.
Unfortunately, our stay was cut short due to bad weather - but would definitely return
We have just got back from a weeks stay at this wonderful site.
Unlike the camping field, the field for tourers has marked pitches and is fairly level. You need to book these pitches. The downside is you don't get such a good view of the sea as the camping field. Also on the touring field you couldn't arrive on your pitch until after 2pm and had to vacate it by 10am which seems a bit unreasonable to me, but I suppose they have to cut the grass sometime?
The site's location is fantastic, right on the coast path and a very short walk to the lovely village of Morthoe. The roads are quite narrow though and it was pretty hairy towing along some of them with double decker buses coming the other way!
But we really liked the site and will definitely be back.
Fantastic views and good quiet location close to great beaches, half hour pleasant walk on NT land to Woolacombe, with an occasional bus service. Good general shop in village (5 min walk - and please walk! - from site entry) and nice deli too. Ilfracombe walkable too for the energetic (you can get the bus back). We found a fantastic disused railway route from the top of the hill to cycle into Ilfracombe. Arrived immediately after very wet months of June and July, when site was still relatively quiet. Land just about coping, but some campers used car too much and churned up some areas. Most of site VERY slopey, but we found a flat pitch and it wasn't too crowded even when the site was full at end of week. Biggest gripe is distance to wash block (probably 500m + from end of site), which encouraged the idle to drive, which didn't help the condition of the land. Wash block coped surprisingly well given the numbers on the site, generally clean and I didn't have to queue for showers - probably other campers couldn't face the walk! Water hot enough though rather low pressure in the free showers. I wouldn't recommend the (bookable) caravan field, because this is too close to the inevitably busy wash block, also someone appeared to run a generator every evening. More general point about the entire area (England?) and the local village in particular is that the roads are clogged by vehicles going to beach, and not suitable for large motorhomes or caravans although many tried. Please walk, cycle or take the bus!
Have just come back from a long weekend camping here and we had an amazing time. We found a pitch at the end of the site, looking down onto the rocks on the beach which was reasonably flat. Fortunately, on our arrival it was wet and windy which meant fun pitching the tent but also meant it was quiet. We were invited to "have a look" before deciding to stay and we pitched our tent, walked back to the office and sorted out the finer details such as payment etc. We were attracted to this site as the location was stunning, the views from our pitch were amazing. Also, the pitches are not marked out but you do need to leave 4.5m between each tent. As the sun shone on Saturday, we watched a brilliant sunset, eating fish and chips from the chippy in the village and drinking wine.
The site was quiet and family / couples orientated which was perfect for us. No noise, just the sound of the waves on the beach below. It did get slightly busier on Saturday night but most people were respectful of others around them.
The site office was helpful and informative, the shop was well stocked but closed quite early. The toilets and showers blocks were very clean and rarely busy although I imagine this will change in the summer holidays or on a nice weekend. Pubs within reasonable walking distance that also do food and of course, there is lots of good walking nearby to work up a thirst or an appetite!
This is my second visit to this site which I absolutely love. It is split in two sections- one half is static, the other camping, which is by far the best for views but it does not come without its problems.
The camping section boasts stunning views out to the Atlantic and at night views across the water to Swansea (you can see the twinkling lights on a clear night)
The camping area suffers from being slopey in fact it is situated on 3 different hills and finding a flat pitch at busy periods can be tricky. We arrived late on a Friday night expecting to struggle to find a pitch but were very blessed to grab a flat plot on top of the hill with a panoramic view out to sea.
The toilets and showers are clean, spacious and modern and the staff friendly. I have to say this was the busiest I have seen this site and it was still pleasant and in fact had a lively but not noisy atmosphere.
The area is great for exploring, the village is about 10-15 minutes walk with great pubs, Fish n Chips, and a nice deli. From the camp site you can walk to a secluded beach where the kids can paddle in rock pools in fact while we were there a family were enjoying the peace and quiet with a small fire while taking in the stunning sun set.
Nearby Woolacombe is a must for surfers and body boarders (my past time of choice) and has a fantastic beach with RNLI Lifeguards during the Summer months (be warned the swell can be quiet heavy here and extra care needs to be taken at all times)
All in all this is a fantastic campsite and area. I will be returning in a matter of weeks.
Arrived here on Monday morning with the intention of camping for a week all was going well pitching the tent only to get caught out by a sudden torrential downpour which turned my vango 600 Sig into a pond and then by a gust of wind that blew my tent into the air and ripped it as I was trying to hold it down. Pack tent back into trailer and back to the site office. Now the site offers a no refunds policy but were very helpful in the fact that they could rent my family (at very short notice) a static caravan for 3 nights for £120 + £5 for the bed sheets and pillow cases minus the £33 that we had coughed up for camping. Now I have stayed in static caravans before but was a tad unsure weather or not my wife would like it. How wrong could I be! she and the kids loved it, The caravan although not new was spotless inside, all the cutlery and utensils were clean and to top it we had a very handy spot near the launderette and shop. This is our second visit to the site we first came 2 years ago to the week and although the weather was totally different (then it was blazing hot) and we were camping I have to say I actually preferred it this time in the static. Also had some good family outings all crammed into 3 days. I think our tent ripping was a blessing in disguise.
This site is so fantastic that we moved to the south west to be nearer it! Seriously, you won't find better if its real camping you're looking for, not woosey marked pitches and 5pm bingo!
I've camped here every summer for 8 years, one summer for a 5 week stretch, so here's a few tips. Pitch your tent well, use all your guy lines, bring strong pegs - it may be calm when you arrive but it could be blowing a gale half an hour later. Don't pitch too close to your new neighbours. Don't be put off by the sloping fields, there are flattish areas if you search properly. Don't arrive late on a Friday and expect a great pitch in the school holidays, or even any pitch at all. Bank holidays are always packed out if the weather is good and I think the site is not at its best then. You will see the best sunsets you are likely to see anywhere. Facilities are excellent, altogether a top class site.
What a fantastic site. The location is amazing with access to coastal paths and short walk to the beach and mortehoe village. The village has a couple of pubs, shops ect. The pitches are very hit and miss and I think we were very lucky we found a relatively flat area. You can't book but there was a large group of us, 7 tents in all, and we all camped together.
It was the first time for most of us camping with babies and found the facilities superb. There was a large changing area and huge sink for bathing our babies. Unfortunately only in the female shower block! The shop was well stocked. We didn't stay long enough ti use the washing machines. Would love to return
This was an amazing place ,so vast - there must be room for hundreds and hundreds of tents - and of all sizes! We had basically the run of the place with only a dozen others on the whole camping side of the site, when we were there. The Toilet and shower blocks were immaculate and always hot water, good lighting at night if you had to walk a bit to get to them. As well as this, the shop was great with almost Superstore size stock - you can get everything there.
The views are incredible, the weather was great, really hot, but with a cooling breeze. The site has direct access to a huge beach, granted its a steep path in bits, but once youre there ,its not an issue. A great place to spend some time and we will definitely be back - 10/10
August 2005 A second visit for us after the first last September. Wah a beautiful place this is, perched on the side of Morte Point, overlooking the sea. I LOVE this site - large and rambling, no marked pitches, immaculately clean.
Showers and toilts are spotlessly clean and I have never had to wait to use either. The small camp shop always seemed to have what we needed (although we usually shop further afield) and was very reasonably priced.
The staff are wonderful, will do anything to help and inconspicuous at all times.
There are no 'Phoenix Club' type facilities either, so it's peace and quiet all around. No pool or other kids' type things, apart from 2 immaculately kept adventure playgrounds, which seem very popular.
August 2004 We visited right in the middle of the summer holidays and the campsite had the 'full' sign up throughout each weekend of the visit. The camping fields are very sloping. This means that you get stunning views of the sea, but it is difficult to find a suitable pitch. The flatter areas became very cramped as people try to squeeze yet another tent in.
Another warning is the VERY long walk, uphill, to the toilet block if you are in the lower camping field. Not too much fun with a young child and a weak bladder early in the morning! But the views were great, the toilet block was large, modern and kept very clean, and the beach below the campsite is delightful. I'd go again but perhaps at a less busy time.
June 2005 We picked this site because we had heard that Woolacombe was beautiful and North Morte Farm was probably the only local site not owned by that Woolacombe Sands monopoly rubbish that you associate with screaming kids, tacky site bars and Betty Beachball.
We paid approx £12 a night for 2 adults, 2 dogs, a tent pitch and a car. I remember thinking that their classification of low, mid and high season was very fair. You get the instant impression that the site is well equipped, friendly, clean and non commercialised (it's family run). They don't take single sexed groups or big parties.
The initial part of the site is for privately owned static vans, but there's not too many and you don't get that Butlins/Pontins type shiver. The next part is for tourers/tents and EHU pitches (it gets busy here so you would be advised to prebook as there's only about 20 pitches (maninly for vans and motorhomes)), oh there's no sea view from here either. There's also a couple of kids areas with climbing stuff and swings.
The camping area is vast, stretches over quite a few fields/hills and is varied in landscape. Some pitches are level but most are sloping to varying degrees. The sea can be seen from nearly everywhere. Midweek (apart from when the sprogs are off) you would be able to pretty much pick and choose and get a less severe sloping pitch, quite near to the toilets/shower block, but leave it till a Friday and you could end up on a slope with a good walk to the conveniences (you'd get a better sea view though). You can reach a breath taking cliff top stroll within five minutes of heading for the sea from the site.
I would recommend a windbreak as it is exposed, the shop sells them and replaced ours without any questions when the posts snapped (but it was about force 7 winds). Take the time and peg your tent well! The shop is very well stocked and is cheap. It sells a variet of groceries and camping equipment.
The toilet and shower facilities are impeccable, the best I've seen on a site. The toilets and shower block is spacious, very new clean.
Morthoe itself is lovely, 3 pubs, a good chip shop and a real Devon feel to the village. We didn't eat at the pubs preferring the sites recommendations at Paracoombe and Withy'something.
I would definitely go back but if I was going to leave my arrival till late on a Friday, I might be tempted to prebook one of the EHU pitches and lord it with the vans rather than risk an uneven pitch albeit with a breath taking view.
August 2004 We have camped here a few times over the last 3 years. It is always the same. As per previous comments a beautiful well kept site with fab views. Although the cliff top position does make it quite exposed to wind. Toilets & showers are always very clean (high on my list of priorities) and well kept (cleaned twice daily). There are occasional queues for ladies showers at busy times. Little shop on site is well stocked-fresh croissants, doughnuts and bread daily and almost anything else you'll need. As said before owners are very friendly and always seen around cutting grass or working on something. Steep walk to lovely quiet Rockham Bay with lots of rock pools for kids, or 10 mins in car to Woolacombe which has good chip shop and ice cream shop - yum! Local pubs welcome families and serve good food. We'll be back again soon!
August 2004 After searching the internet for a while for a nice campsite in Devon, we decided that North Morte Farm in Mortehoe sounded good, and had good reviews to go with it! We couldn't book for a tent so we had a backup site just in case. We were very impressed with the facilities, friendly staff, and the total lack of tacky club or bar, which always spoils it for us anyway. The excellent shower block is well maintained and very clean, and they work all the time! We were lucky as it was so busy,to find a fairly level site, and this particular spot had a breathtaking view over the bay and towards Lundy. And it was a short walk to the loo, which was a bonus! The small village has a few nice pubs that do nice meals too, though some are well overpriced considering the trade they do. Still, there's always a chippy if you prefer, and also a lovely walk down to Woolacombe bay if you carry on down the same road. We will go back to this part of Devon, as it is lovely and we will recommend this campsite to anyone who loves peace and quiet, lovely walks and scenery. Next time we will try surfing!! Looks like fun!!!
July 2004 Have just got back from this lovely place.The location is stunning,and the views across to Lundy and the surrounding seascape are terrific.The village,10 minutes walk away,has a deli,tea shop,scrumpy shop,a place where you can buy cooked chickens etc,a restaurant,fish and chips,and three pubs.However,the clifftop location means that you are vulnerable to high winds,of which there were plenty during our stay,and the closeness to the sea means that theres plenty of moisture in the air.The site fills up quickly,and doesnt take bookings,which is a shame for those travelling long distances.It is family orientated,and does not take single sex groups,which means that is very quiet at night.Hurrah!! Highly recommended,but have a reserve site in case they're full.
