Hi All,

Will be heading off to Devon at the beginning of July to meet some friends and do some surfing/body boarding etc. I have just checked out the tariff for the campsite that we usually stay at and discovered that now we have a dog, its going to cost us £5 a night extra! £5 a night?! Shocked

Its only £8 a night each for us and we get use of the pool, shop, bar, play equipment, laundry and bar! (not that we actually use them as we spend all the time at the beach or pub!)

Anyway, do any of you have any suggestions for cheap(er) places to stay in or around Woolacombe?

All ideas welcome!

Thanks. Very Happy

Hi Wurz,

Have you tried Stowford Farm Meadows, or is that the site that you are referring to?

Hi Leigh,

A few years ago we stayed there in the caravan. It was okay with nice facilities. Handy for Ilfracomb/Wollacoombe, It was a good base for sightseeing.

Try a visit to Clovelly further round the coast. It's a good day out, if you get tired of the pub and beach. Wink Wink

P S. Are you still in the P/Boro area?

J & R

Hi J&R, yes, still around Pboro, at Ferry Meadows at the moment. Leaving the area at the end of June.

We have been to Clovelly, was a really good day out. Could have done with being fitter though! Had to go back up in the Landrover!! (of course it was just for the experience!! not the jelly legs Laughing )

Not sure I can face Illfracoombe again yet, thats where someone ran into our van and put our travels on hold for 18 months!

Woolacombe is fab though, although there is a really naff mobile signal there, have to go to the edge of the cliff to get any reception Very Happy

We left the site wearing coats and wellies one day, as it was absolutely bucketing down at the time. A few minutes later, we wish we had worn our shorts and flipflops, as it was glorious sunshine in Woolacoombe.

Sod's law.

Hi Leigh

There is a nice c club site:

http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/uk+sites+and+travel/club+sites/search+or+book+a+site/site+detail.htm?cs_id=damage +barton

We stayed here many years ago, lovely walks along the coast from the bottom of the site, great views but a bit exposed if windy .. can't have everything ..Laughing

we've been surfing in n/devon most w/ends for the last 16 years but last year at the start of the school hols the camp site price around croyde & woolacombe went mad ie one w/end £16 next w/end £56 for 2 nights.
but there are 2 cl's on the main road in to w/combe and a cheaper campsite at morthoe and on the road/lane between croyde & woolacombe but in july you will need to book but most sites charge per person if you need a list let me know
