Reviewer: Philpot1034 4 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from this site a day early, some of the reasons were the weather, but also the following things (1) having been told that they had only 1 pitch left we thought we were lucky to get in , it was on a bad slope and there were loads of free pitches on other fields and level ones at that ! (2) Teenagers roaming the site at 2am and 4am in the morning ( I know there parents needs stringing up) but the site should be able to sort them out. (3) It is very much a typical resort where they are heavy into commercialism charging £30+ per night then charging for every other function on the site including £1.25 for swimming pool. (4) JCB and diggers going up and down the road even on a Saturday ! 
Positives were very clean toilet/shower facilities and friendly staff.We will not revisit this site again we do like sites which are slightly quieter and less hectic, although this is a really popular site there are 5 or 6 fields full of touring caravans

 A fantastic site and excellent facilities. Pitches were very big, which gave us a lot of privacy. The site wasn't too overcrowded which was good. The swimming pool was brilliant with cubicles showers,lockers and even a shop. The kids loved the horse riding and for 1 hour it was £14 which was very reasonable. The toilets and showers were basic but there was only 7 showers and in the mornings you can imagine how full it would be.(a bit of a queue). Very well stocked shop, lovely fish and chip shop and the pantry served excellent food. Will be returning again.

 Pitched up in the wind and rain, possibly becasue of the sites location but even when the sun started to shine there was still quite a lot of breeze. We visited this site with my family and we found they had excellent facilities for my nieces and nephews. Our pitch was a good size and ideally located for the toilet block. We found all the facilities excellent on the site (pub, shop, swimming pool, playground etc) The staff were friendly, especially the ladies in reception.

All attractions were a car journey away, but we spent most of our time in Woolacombe anyway which was fantastic! Bearing in mind we had torrential weather for two days, the toilets and showers were kept as clean as they could (lots of grass and muddy puddles were constantly creeping in!) The water was hot and there was never a long wait to use the shower.
All in all we had a great stay and we would definitely visit this site again.

 This is the second visit we have made to Stowford. My children loved the site just like last year. The kiddie cars, crazy golf and swimming pool were brilliant. The sites are spacious. It is the perfect place to explore North Devon. The shop is really well equipped and the takeaway serves delicious food whether it is pizza or fish and chips.This is a fantastic site for children.

Despite this, we won't be rushing to return to Stowford. Last year we had a peaceful holiday although this year we were disturbed in the middle of our last night by rowdy teenagers shouting at the top of their voices to the point where I was worried they might come onto our pitch. In fact they were on next doors pitch. (could have been drunk??) It was at 1 o'clock in the morning. We have noticed how there are alot of teenagers hanging around the pub and games room which is fine, they were perfectly nice. But, when I heard the rowdiness on the playing area behind our pitch I felt the site had disappointed me. The site owners should be checking this. I feel the site is too big now to control who is on the site and to check everyone is abiding by their rules to not spoil the enjoyment of others.

The toilet blocks seemed clean most of the time but badly kept with weeds growing and cigarette butts. I thought this might be better kept. Even though the blocks probably need refurbishing the showers were nice and hot.

All in all we still had a nice holiday. Hopefully what we experienced was a one off. I hope this site doesn't go down hill as it is a lovely place.

 We visited this site over a long weekend from 28th July to 31st July for our first visit.We were a party of three families consisting of 13 of us,and all of us had a wonderful time. Greeted at reception by friendly staff who explained all amenities available on this huge site. We camped on field three with a electric hook up, level pitch and plenty of space.
Shower/toilet block immaculate with plenty of showers,sinks and toilets. Showers turned on by sensor which is good idea, also each shower cubicle had small stool and two hooks for hanging clothes and towels on. Hot water first thing was quite hot and not suitable for kids to shower in but cooled down when demand increased. Plenty to do on site and never seemed over busy. Swimming pool had excellent facilities and was like jumping into a warm bath. Pool attendant very friendly. Shop had good range of provisions and magazines, visited shop one early morning kids had nice surprise and were given free gifts by shop staff.
Site restaurant okay but rather small for size of site, we had to sit at three separate tables.
Devon countryside is our piece of heaven and would revisited and recommended this site to all.

 I am due to visit again after a fabulous holiday at Stowford last year.

The facilities were great. The pitches were very well kept. The play area was great and the pool was lovely. The changing areas were beautiful and the showers were great too.

The shop stored everything you wanted and the caravan accessories shop was also useful. I would strongly recommend the fish and chip shop. The pies and fresh fish tasted beautiful.

This is a fantastic site for the children. The shower facilities and toilet blocks were clean, however, sometimes the cleaners occupied all of the blocks together when cleaning which meant you couldn't find a vacant loo easily.

The area is lovely and we weren't far from Woolacombe which was great, although parking for the beach was very expensive.

We can't wait to return again in August this year!

 When we arrived it was very windy and we seemed to be located on the highest point on the site! But once the wind lessened the pitch was great, large and good views.

The facilities are good, we took our 14mth old son and so found the family bathroom very useful. It is easier if the baby facilities are unisex so both my husband and I could do the bath task!

Swimming pool is excellent, showers,lockers, changing cubicles.Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Location was nice, as it was on a large site in countryside, but this did mean it was a drive to shops and attractions. Be careful if using the narrow lane to Barnstaple, right from the campsite, then right at the corner,it is quicker but we met a large tanker and it was quite a squeeze!

 We have just spent a fantastic week at this site over the half term holiday. We arrived in torrential rain and thought we were in for the usual treatment from the British weather! However, we awoke the next morning and never saw another cloud all week. The site is on a slight slope and all the pitches drained very quickly.

For a relatively large site, all the pitches were spacious and well spread out. We were also surprised at how quite the site was (except for us I suppose!)

The facilities (toilet blocks, pool, bar, restaurant, shop, riding stables etc) were all in fantastic condition and never over subscribed.

We also found the found the staff friendly and helpful, which always helps for a relaxing holiday.

All in all a great site. I dont usually like to return to the same site twice, but this is definitely one I would return to.

 This site was lovely. Pitches are much larger than other sites we have visited. The staff are very friendly. Very clean toilets and showers facilities, which is very important when you have young children. There were also plenty of toilets and showers and we never had to queue. Very easy to find using directions from their website. Very beautiful part of the country and would definitely visit again. They also have a beautiful woodland walk as part of their campsite, which I would recommend, it was beautiful and also very peaceful. The swimming pool and changing rooms were impeccably clean and the pool was like stepping into bath water, really warm. The campsite on the whole had so much to do, it's definitely worth staying.
