 We stayed at Twitchen house in July for 1 week. Although the weather wasn't brilliant we still managed a few days on the beautiful beach, which was a lovely 15 minute walk down a wooded footpath and through a field. The hard standing pitches were excellent, but I would advise taking hard ground pegs for awnings. The kids really enjoyed the outdoor and indoor heated pools, and the amusement arcade was very handy when it was raining, which was quite a lot. The on site shop stocked all the essentials required. The clubhouse was well situated and presented and the evening entertainment was very good. The shower and toilet block very clean and well maintained with a steam room and sauna free to use. The staff and wardens were very pleasant friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again in the not too distant future

We arrived and pitched our tent we were on k17 so had plenty of space although on a slight slant.
We did find the walk to the beach to far as we were pushing a push chair it was too hilly.
The shower blocks and washing facilities were spot on.They were cleaned a couple of times per day.Although as per usual they were left a bit scummy by other campers not the fault of the owners just inconsiderate people.
In the main shower block we used the steam room and sauna it was kept very clean,the only problem was some older children did hang about in the shower area probably because the weather was wet.
We used the club house twice and found it ok they entertained the children ok,Played bingo,watched some entertainment.
The indoor pool was ok but not a lot to do other than swim or have a sauna.Ie no children's shoots or slides.
They have got them on the outdoor pool,but it was too cold for us to use it.
The shop was well stocked and we did not find it too expensive.
We used the take away on site and did think it was very over priced.
We drove out to other areas Ilfracombe twice eating out.(Do not go to the Harbour Lights restaurant the food was far to expensive for what we got it was all frozen food zapped in a microwave we did complain but they seemed to think it was ok they knocked some off the meal.
The shops around are the normal beachy type.
There is Indian and Chinese restaurants in the town.
Also a Lido's where we did stock up.
The beaches in Woolacombe are wonderful, kept clean and they had fish and chip van on beach,food ok for quick snacks.
Also the beach at Putsborough beach was very nice.
There is plenty of super markets in Ilfracombe also a tesco just outside,
We had hit and miss weather so were not able to stay on the beaches for long and am sure we would have got out and about a lot more other than the rain.
We did not use the other sites so cannot recommend them.
It is a very hilly place so if you are not into walking be aware.
To sum up the camp site I would give it a 10 out of ten but I do think it is a bit pricey.

First time at this site and what a great site. Facilities were as mentioned in previous reviews and could not fault anything. Village of Mortehoe very nice with a few lovely pubs. Woolacombe has a lovely clean beach.
Our pitch was slightly sloping but a couple of blocks sorted it. Make sure you carry rock pegs for your awning as the ground is quite hard. Oh one thing I would mention, the shower block shuts at 9pm! Very pleased with this site and will definitely go back.

We stayed here for the bank holiday weekend, what a treat! We had our typical bank holiday weather - rain on our first day, but we had nothing to worry about as there was lots to do. They had entertainment for the children during the day and the evening.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
The indoor pool was basic but warm.
The shower blocks were clean, and even though the campsite was full we never queued for more than a few minutes. The water was always hot.
We used the shop and the takeaway restaurant - we found these to be fairly priced.
We went to Woolacombe beach - make sure you take your windbreak to claim your bit of beach as everyone else seems to. The beach itself was beautiful and the sea full of surfers and body boarders of all ages.
Parking in town is £5.50 regardless of your length of stay, this campsite provides a bus to the beach and sister sites. We never used this but intend to during our visit in August.
I would recommend this site to anyone as there is lots to do rain or shine!
We enjoyed it so much we booked to go again for a week in August.

We have just returned from a 10 day break over the Easter holidays to Twitchen. What a great site.
From when we arrived at Reception everything went smoothly. We were booked in very swiftly and were given wristbands, we got told these were a new idea, not a good one, they just don't last. We also got an entertainment guide and loads of local information.
The park is one of four, Woolacombe Bay, Easewell, Twitchen and Golden Coast and you can use the facilities on any of these sites, with the wristband! There is a big yellow bus that circulates between the sites and the beach and you pay £3.00 per stay and can travel on the buses as many times as you want, although it only runs until about five o'clock.
The pitch we had was a hardstanding, it was small and was on a slope, loads of blocks were needed to balance it out. It also had EHC. The toilet block was just behind which was always warm, plenty of showers and toilets. There was also a sauna in here too but although we seen it working we didn't use it ourselves.
The site has good entertainment every night and a sports bar which shows the footie etc. It also has an amusement arcade, mini golf and indoor and outdoor pools. There is a shop on site which in my opinion is the best site shop I have come across, stocking all basic items and some not so basic too, and the prices were a little dearer which you expect but not really expensive. Other reviewers said that the restaurant and take away were reasonably priced - don't know where they were from but I thought it was really expensive, nearly £6 for a jacket potato!
The surrounding area is great too, Ilfracombe is lovely and the actual village of Mortehoe is idyllic on a lovely sunny day, it has a few pubs for your liquid refreshment en-route! For eating out, try the carvery at the Fortesque, just across the road from Golden Coast, it is to die for and at only £8.95 a good buy. We went twice.
Between the sites you have 10 (I think!) swimming pools, a golf course, cinema, 10 pin bowling alley, ceramic centre, horse stables, bars, arcades, sports bars, mini golf, saunas, a health spa, restaurants, basically everything you need for a great holiday.
Would we go back? - try and stop us!

Our first ever camping expedition was marred by a spell of pretty grim weather, but this did not effect our fun. Twitchen is a great site with an amazing eco friendly shower block, great views and a very friendly atmosphere. We pitched in pouring rain and howling wind, close to defeat, beginning to wonder why we chose camping.
Our pitch was serviced with electric, personal water supply, dusk to dawn lighting and a TV aerial connection and a beautiful view of the Atlantic :-). The camping playground was just behind us which was ideal for the kids aged 5 and 7 who had a whale of a time. We visited the clubhouse and pool areas on site. Bar was reasonably priced. The Chippy / restaurant on site was surprisingly good value and very tasty with a sit in option offering far more meals than just fish and chips.
Right, the wind. Yes it did blow. And many of our neighbours succumbed to the wrath of mother nature but don't let it put you off. The still days were divine, peaceful and what camping should be about.

Great if you like big sites. Club and entertainment good kept kids amused. Went in the indoor swimming pool during bad weather, which was good.
Bus very useful to and from the beach and other parks saves the parking money.
Woolacombe fantastic place with wonderful beaches you could ask for a better setting.
Whilst staying here we had the worst winds, we managed to survive the night just some of our other campers were not so lucky. No protection from the wind as the main tent field is on the cliffs.
Great play area and very clean showers/toilets and washing up room.

We stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of July with our 2 year old son. Everyone on the campsite was very friendly, we had a pitch with permanently sited caravans so when we got into trouble putting up the awning for the first time there was a lovely family on hand to help. Our pitch was pretty flat but some of them are on quite steep hills so would not like to pitch up on those. The standing is on gravel, no grass around.
Near to water and electric hook up so set up was very easy. New toilet blocks with sauna and steam room were lovely.
You can also use the facilities at the other 3 parks nearby. We used the swimming pool every day which is fabulous but there are no lifeguards in attendance.
The crazy golf is a little unimaginative and the kids club for the under 5's seemed to be run by little more than kids with a few nursery rhymes.
Evening entertainment a bit tacky but good fun. Of course an amusement arcade for 'pester power'.
Generally the facilities are great and very child friendly. A lot is included in the price so you don't have to keep forking out on every activity. Our son loved the indoor play area but it is quite small.
The weather wasn't brilliant - it rained most of the time which I think spoilt our view of the place and leads me to be a lot less enthusiastic than I would normally be! However even in bad weather there is still plenty to do.
The surrounding area is gorgeous - beaches and cliff scenery are unrivalled. We spent a day at Arlington Court - a National Trust property nearby. There are also lots of National Trust car parks if you are a member.
Barnstaple is a lovely town and Ilfracombe is very pretty.
All in all a great place to visit, especially with kids.
We had a cheap deal (£27 for 3 nights) through a Daily Mail voucher offer. If I get the same deal again I would definitely go back next year but not sure if I would pay the full price £35 a night without trying other places first.

Great base for touring the coast. I am not a greatly experienced caravanner and was a little daunted at first sight of the lane leading down to the camp (approx 3/4 mile) however, plenty of pull in points all along so meeting traffic was no problem.
This site has the least facilities of all three affiliated camps but undoubtedly offers the best location for beach. Contrary to the last review there is a village with three good pubs all serving food and several small shops within very easy walking distance of the camp, the walk to the village taking around 15 mins.
The site has a take away, restaurant, indoor and outdoor pools, crazy golf, children's playground etc. You also have the use of the facilities on the two other sites which expand the entertainment for children tremendously. Beware many of the attractions on site require a small charge though this is far from expensive, pools and playgrounds etc are free and have long opening hours.
Twitchen House has two saunas one in the indoor pool area and a second in the utilities block, again both are free. The utilities block is simply outstanding. No shower blocks here, you are treated to approximately twenty private shower rooms about 10ft square with changing bench, wet room shower and hand basin.
The park is quiet at night. There is entertainment every evening at the club house though the standard of entertainment was moderate during our stay, I also thought the drinks were a little expensive. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful making this park a delight to visit. Very pretty surroundings.
We booked a super pitch at the site which gave us grey water waste, fresh water point and a cable tv point. My only criticism was the quality of the pitch which was a little rough and on a slight slope, both of which didn't cause a great problem. The super pitches are not hard standings. I have to say that the pitch was very clean and also very good value for money.
To sum up I would say this park offers a great base, great value for money great facilities, I will certainly be making a return booking.

We've just come back from a short break here in a Static Caravan. The site is divided up into fields, with the statics sited around reception/clubhouse etc. Parking is in bays or the main car park, and in the field we were in we had to climb around the caravans to get to our own, so if anyone in your group has difficulties in walking make the park aware of this. The touring fields were a bit further away. The fields we saw seemed to be terraced and looked quite regimented ie all in neat straight lines. We saw one tent field which was quite sloping but it did have a good view of the fields & hills. The amenities block looked new but we didn't go inside.
The clubhouse was very hot and smelt badly of old chip oil. We didn't use the swimming pools but they looked good. The bus to the beach etc is now £2.50 and covers you for the whole break but we didn't know this until halfway through our holiday so we didn't use the service or visit the other parks. The walks to the beaches are lovely except the ground was a bit slippery in places because of recent rain. Its really fun to walk through a field of sheep! The play area was large enough for all the kids to enjoy, crazy golf is on 2 levels but not very exciting. The on-site shop was quite well stocked and the prices were very good. We didn't find any local shops or pubs in easy walking distance so unless you make full use of the parks facilities you need to jump in the car for entertainment.
Although quite packed, the park was quiet and very peaceful in the night - the only noise came from the birds busily building their nests and a pair of ducks who wandered around looking for scraps.
All in all a pleasant place.
