Pipcott Fields Caravan & Camping

About

We are a spacious, friendly, family run site situated in the small rural village of West Down, 3.5 miles south of Ilfracombe. We can provide you with the ideal setting for a very peaceful and enjoyable stay here amongst our beautiful N.Devon countryside with easy access to all local attractions. West Down is 450 feet above sea level and in the heart of the village there are still some cobble stoned pathways and quaint little 17th century cob cottages with slate roofs and a 14th century church of St Calixtus.

Pipcott Fields is easily found close to the centre of the village. We have showers, the use of which are included in the price, and there is a plentiful supply of hot water. The toilets are part of the same area and all are very close to the field entrance.
Our land comprises of 5.5 acres across three fields. The main (lower) field with all the services is 2.5 acres so there is plenty of room. All hook-up points are 16 amp.

We also have two other fields totalling a further 3 acres which are pleasant to walk around with nice views and also good for dog walking (dogs are welcome but must be under control at all times, not allowed to wander or left unattended).

The pitch fee includes use of the site WiFi facility (which covers the whole main field) and use of a wooden picnic table. We do not charge extra for awnings or dogs.

There is also a small garden area available and in the summer months there are outdoor table tennis and boules sets available.

The site has a very gentle slope which is hardly noticeable and will not present any problems.

The Village Community Shop and the Crown Inn (good food, drink and dog friendly) are also very close by.

We also have a nearby 5 acre village community field which includes a children’s play area with swings etc and some goal posts.

There are also some scenic walks from site.

We are within easy reach of some lovely beaches (Woolacombe 5mls, Croyde 6.5mls), stunning North Devon coastline and the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Tarka trail access is at Willingcott (2.5mls) or Braunton (5mls). Ilfracombe, with good facilities and picturesque harbour 3.5mls. Frequent bus service 0.5mls for Barnstaple, Ilfracombe & Woolacombe but limited from village centre.

Arrival can be any time after 9am until 8pm or dusk (whichever is earlier) and pitches are to be vacated by noon on departure day unless extended stay arrangements have been made beforehand.

After several successful years as a certified site of the Camping and Caravanning Club (C & CC) we have now changed our status to become an independent site with our touring site licence issued by the local authority. We are also now an approved listed site of the C & CC.
We currently have a self-imposed limit of no more than 15 pitches occupied at any one time. We have permission to increase this to 25 pitches once the corresponding increase in facilities have been installed over the next few years.
It is our intention to remain as a quiet family site.
