Large holiday park with superior touring options

Farr, Richard - 13/06/2025

Used the basic hardstanding pitch with EHU (£30p.n.). Staff offered a pitch near to wash and toilet facilities as one of us has limited mobility.Were not able to try the outdoor swimming pool as we only stayed one night, and it did not open until 10am; also the rain on the day was not encouraging.Plus point is the park’s close access to the Tarka Trail for cycling or walking.You can pay a little extra for private facilities for your pitch.We hope to return in the autumn and book a static accommodation or similar so we can do some cycling.Great Torrington with shops and points of interest is c.3 miles away, and RHS Rosemoor Garden is another local attraction.

Spotless throughout.

Copsey, Brendan - 09/06/2025

Staff very friendly. All grounds and facilites on the park were maintained to a very high standard. The pitches are of a very decent size with plenty of space between. Toilets and showers immaculate and the showers were hot and powerful.The heated outdoor pool was very clean and much appreciated.Nice dog walking area and easy access to the Tarka Trail for either off road cycling or walking.The bar was nice with drinks at pub prices.

When we arrived we had a spacious en suite pitch so there was plenty of room for our car and awning. Everyone was friendly and helpful and we had a lovely relaxing stay at Smytham.

Peaceful and extremely clean!

Wetwood, Becky - 07/06/2025

This is our second time returning to Smytham and we will definitely be back again next year! This is probably now our favourite campsite to visit! We love it. It feels so peaceful and calm but also has things to entertain the kids, such as the swimming pool and games room. The site is so clean, everything is maintained and kept to a really high standard. The staff are all really friendly and so helpful too! It’s not too far from beaches, which are also beautiful and have lovely little seaside towns! We did the Tarka trail and hired bikes from the site, which was really lovely and the kids enjoyed! I honestly have nothing bad to say about this campsite, we love it!!!!

Perfect campsite

Harris, Sarah - 05/06/2025

5

This is a great campsite, we’ve stayed 5 times now. The facilities are spotlessly clean. The shower block is one of the best I’ve seen on a campsite, although the last few times we’ve treated ourselves to an en-suite pitch which is brilliant. We love the grounds of the site, the dog walking area is lovely and the little details like fairy houses hidden in the trees are great for younger visitors. We always enjoy a walk along the Tarka Trail to Yarde cafe and have also hired bikes and ridden out past Instow. It’s a lovely campsite with something for all ages.
