Lovely relaxing holiday

Curtis, Laura - 03/09/2026

The staff on site were lovely, it has a really relaxing laid back atmosphere. We loved the pod, the facilities were clean and not too busy. We enjoyed the pool and also hiring bikes. The location is brilliant for walks and visiting nearby places like Westward Ho! and Appledore. The price was quite expensive for a pod but understandable given it was August and the facilities on the site were great. We really appreciated having a fridge and kettle in the pod. It would be nice to have something inside the pod to attach the dog to, so that we could keep the door open without the dog escaping, as the pod got quite hot and stuffy sometimes with the door closed.

Fantastic park, lovely staff, highly recommended!

Newsome, Zach - 03/09/2026

Me and my partner stayed here for 2 nights in our tent for its first trip. The space we had to set up was plenty, along with a convenient power connection with a simple app to get us connected. Staff at reception were very informative and helpful, as well as the lady at the bar. The fish and chip van was amazing as well, shame we weren't there for the Indian though. Site toilets and showers were very well kept as well, always clean.Highly recommend this campsite for couples or families.Shame there were no consistent food offerings such as a cafe or restaurant, but honestly still a fantastic site without it. Will definitely be visiting again!

Friendly lovely campsite

Harris, Lisa - 01/09/2026

Lovely campsite with Large plots. Showers and toilets were lovely and clean (showers were powerful and hot). Plenty of room in cubicle with plenty of hanging hooks. All Staff were friendly and very helpful. Only downside was you’d need transport to get to local town. The lightning at night wasn’t very good.

Lovely site

Gelsthorpe, Steven - 30/08/2026

We booked a four-night stay at Smytham, and our first night was exactly what we had hoped for — peaceful and relaxing.The WC facilities were clean, and the showers were warm with good water pressure. The washing-up facilities were also clean and had plenty of hot water. The campsite itself was very clean, tidy and well maintained, and the staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The bar is lovely too and adds a nice atmosphere to the site.We didn’t really use the swimming pool, as unfortunately it seemed a little bit of a free-for-all when we looked at it.Our main issue was during our second night. A family arrived and could be heard from the other end of the campsite, talking and making noise outside the bar late into the night. Even after the bar had closed, the party continued until the early hours of the morning from their tent/caravan. The two campers staying next to us complained about the noise and decided to leave that day. We chose to stay and see if things improved

Good Facilities

Harbon, Richard - 29/08/2026

We stayed on an en-suite pitch - all weather.The pitch was large enough to accommodate the largest of tents vans or campers. Good clean en-suite facilities and picnic bench. Rock pegs are a must.Electricity monitoring a bit daunting (connect to WiFi before attempting to connect to the electric)!Pool was good and always busy, also the small bar good with a very friendly atmosphere and attentive staff.Kids games room/soft play were adequate. The outdoor park was aimed at younger children and some of the apparatus could be quite dangerous for unguarded little ones.There is a single goal post for the slightly older kids and I suppose that was the only negative for older children.The onsite shop/reception had everything you needed.The only thing you (the kids) could complain about was the ‘free 150mb 10850min’ WiFi - don’t expect to remain connected for more than 5 minutes without reinstating your details (Great for keeping kids tech free)! Great location for T

Lovely stay

Townsend, Jodie - 28/08/2026

We had such a lovely time at Smytham holiday park. My Husband & I stayed a couple of years ago, but just for 1 night & loved it, so we said we’d definitely come back! This time we booked for a week & brought my husband’s son with us. We decided to book a family pod this time rather than camp. The pod was lovely & cosy. Matts provided to sleep on, just bring your own bedding. We were situated between both toilet blocks. The more modern one has the best showers & are very clean! The pool is gorgeous & very clean also. I will say it would be good for staff to pop up a bit more as on 2 occasions we had a family smoking, drinking, bombing the pool & playing music up there. I’m no fun police, but it wasn’t very relaxing at those times! Despite that we absolutely loved our stay at Smytham. It’s very close to Bideford, lovely little town & about half an hour to Westward Ho! They also had a chippy van come to visit one evening & the food was amazing! We would definitely stay again. Thanks :)
