 Really enjoyed our stay here. Small quiet site run by friendly and helpful wardens. It is family friendly with a small outdoor park, large playing field and an indoor games room. The children enjoyed playing table tennis and skittles. A lovely extra bonus was an hour long free tennis lesson which they loved. The toilet block was always clean and the showers hot. The wardens did regular patrols and made sure rules were adhered to and everyone was happy. We would definitely return.

A medium site set in the beautiful countryside of North Devon. All hard standing pitches face west offering superb views of summer sunsets. The wardens are friendly, helpful and welcoming. Unusually, the site is set within extensive grounds enabling more lengthy dog walking than usual! For younger campers there is an indoor play area complete with television. The modernised washing and toilet block is an appropriate size to meet the demands of a full campsite. Walking guide maps are available from the site office for a small charge. Bread and newspapers are available on request.
The North Devon Coastal towns are a short drive away; the nearest supermarket is at Barnstable which can suffer from traffic congestion in peak season.
An excellent, peaceful site.

Arrived on site & was greeted by friendly warden trish. Touring caravan holiday for 2 adults, 1 ten year old & dog. Very clean dog friendly site. Dog walking aera. Lots to keep the kids occupied, tennis / table tennis / football / pool / skittles / tv room. Excellent shower / wash rooms. Nearest beach 20 mins is Instow were dogs are allowed. Ace pub that does a cracking sunday roast (the rising sun), 5 mins drive from site. 20 min drive to Barnstable, 30 min drive to bideford which must be the most dog friendly town in England. Me & my lad visited cobbaton combat collection. 10 min drive from site, watch out for farmers down those country lanes. Described a 1 mans collection that got out of hand. Wow! you will not be disappointed. Overall fantastic site just wish it was closer to beach.

We booked the August Bank Holiday at fairly short notice. We were greeted warmly by the friendly wardens and had a choice of pitches. We chose hardstanding but there were lots of sheltered grass pitches, some electric and some with water, pitches were level and easily accessed. It is a site with wonderful inland views and the sunsets were beautiful.
For children(our son is 11)there are FREE tennis lessons to prebook, tennis courts at a modest charge as well as a barn with TV, table tennis and pool. There is a play area with scramble net and climbing frame and a field close by for fishing.
We don't have a dog but the majority of visitors did and used the extensive dog walking area.
The showers were immaculate but not the most modern and lacked any shelves for toiletries. There were queues in the ladies except later in the evening.
Water/waste points were easily accessed and the chemical toilet point also easily found and well kept.
The reception could supply preordered papers and bread and had a good choice of essentials.
This is a site within easy drive of good surfing beaches, the local pub The Rising Sun is delightful and their Ploughmans excellent. There is a train station within walking distance and you can get into Barnstaple for shopping or sightseeing.
The Wardens at the site were a delight, hard working, professional, enthusiastic and helped make our stay memorable.
Only one negative. The Fish and Chip van that serves the site on Tuesday was expensive, the fish portion tiny and the service rude, we were made to wait for an hour! Think the van owner needs lessons in customer service from the wonderful CCC wardens.
We will be returning ( but getting our fish and chips somewhere else!)

What a wonderful site this is and what a wonderful time we had. The wardens are a credit to the club and the site and were very helpful and on hand when arriving and throughout our stay.
It is not the most level site in places but levelling was not a problem again with the wardens on hand who provided us with blocks of wood.
The showers and toilets were spotless as were the other facilities and there is an information room which is full of information, leaflets and everything you need to know.
The site has wonderful views when it is clear and is in a lovely quiet location. It's not particularly near much but having a car this did not effect us but there is a lovely pub within walking distance and also the train station which is very handy.
The adjacent field and games room is such a plus and made the holiday for our son. He made so many friends playing football etc what more could we ask for.
The only negative for us was the fish and chips, sadly it was quite late getting there on the Tuesday and they were just too greasy for us but everyone's different.
Without a doubt I would return and most definitely will next year and I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

Got back into camping or should I say glamping after quite a few years I went to this site for its location and I enjoyed it very much, showers/toilets immaculate a lot better from what I remember years ago.
The area in North Devon is stunning to say the least it is an ideal base for touring, I used the train the station is just a 10min walk away with trains every hour to any destination in Devon/Cornwall ideal.
There is also a great Pub by the station called The Rising Sun good food and a lovely pint of beer to end the day
I will be back there again in the near future.
Ccmmick.

What a fantastic site! Stayed here for 5 nights early August with 3 children; ages 9, 8 and 3. The site and facilities are immaculate and exceptionally clean. We were met on arrival after a 5 hour journey by extremely helpful staff who couldn't do enough to help us. The site provided free tennis training for the children and the games room provided a good backdrop to watch the Olympics on! Lots of things to do in the area with visits to beautiful Lynton and Lynmouth, Westward Ho and nearby South Molton for lovely shops. Loads of very informative leaflets on site with places to go and things to do. Choice of very large supermarkets in nearby Barnstaple with directions from the site staff. Very impressed and will definitely return - only wish the site was a bit nearer!

Just returned from a 5 night stay at this great little site. Umberleigh is just far enough out to be secluded but not so far out as to be isolated. A very neat and tidy site with clean shower and toilet block with lots of hot water, possibly a little too hot!
Plenty of space between units so even when busy there is no feeling of overcrowding. Facilities for the little ones are quite basic.
There is a small games room with pool, table tennis, skittles and a TV lounge.
The site shop has a very basic stock of everyday needs at very good prices, however there is a garage about 5 minutes drive away which is very well stocked.
The site staff very friendly and extremely helpful. The site is situated next to a working farm and the farm machinery can start early and finish at around 10 pm. However this didn't bother us at all.
The hours in between at night were filled with the glorious sound of total silence!A cracking little site well placed for exploration of North Devon and beyond.
Definitely recommended.

We have just got back from a 5 night stay here and I couldn't be more impressed! What a beautiful site! The grass is lush and so well maintained even in peak season. The facilities are an absolute treat! Easily the best I have used. The views from the campsite are spectacular and you feel like you are right out in the sticks! But Barnstaple is very near by and ere is a farm shop and garage less than a mile away. Umberleigh is perfectly positioned to explore north Devon. We will be returning next summer for a few days on route to Cornwall.

We stayed here for 2 weeks at the beginning of the school summer holidays. For us (2 adults & 4 and 6 year old boys) the site was perfect. For a site of this size I thought the facilities were excellent. The showers and toilets were not modern but were cleaned to a very high standard and although sometimes busy on a morning I never had to queue. The play area, football field, indoor games room and fishing pond were all well used by us and made spending time on the site a great pleasure. The site is slightly sloping but the manager provided us with blocks so that wasn't a problem. There was a nice mix of caravans, tents and motorhomes and also a mix of families and couples.
There are great beaches nearby - we favoured Westward Ho about 17 miles from the site where you can buy a weekly parking ticket at northam burrows for £15. It was great for bodyboarding and building sandcastles!
This is a site we will definitely return to.
