Mordros
Our largest lodge: up to twelve, with its own hot tub, bedrooms pairing a double with a set of bunks, and everything inside and private to your group.
Family holidays at Willow Valley
Eleven acres of valley, woodland to explore and beaches ten minutes away — without a tannoy or a water slide in sight.
Willow Valley is the sort of family holiday park where the entertainment is the valley itself: a river running through the middle of it, woodland along the edges, and eleven acres with only 21 camping pitches spread along the floor.
No tannoy, no water slide, no evening entertainment. Beaches ten minutes down the road, and somewhere quiet to come back to in the evening.
Room for the whole family
For the bigger gatherings, Mordros sleeps up to twelve and has its own hot tub, with bedrooms pairing a double bed and a set of bunks and a kitchen big enough to cook for everyone at once. Helyk takes six, with a private hot tub in an enclosed, sunny garden that is easier with little ones and a dog. Bencoolen, Stamford and Heath each take four, all with hot tubs of their own.
Smaller families often go for the Bluebird — a 1970 American school bus, fitted out by hand over a Cornish winter, sleeping four, with a log burner and a deck looking down the valley. The bell tents sleep up to four as well, on private decks with chimineas, split across three areas of the park. Millook, the shepherd’s hut, takes up to four, with its own private shower and toilet a few steps outside and no cooking indoors.
Or bring your own: 21 level pitches sit alongside the River Strat, with room for up to eight on a large grass pitch and optional electric hook-ups.
The beach in ten minutes
Summerleaze, Crooklets and Widemouth Bay are all under a ten-minute drive: a sea pool, surf, wide sands. Sandymouth is the one for rockpooling.
Surf lessons and board hire run through the season for older children, and the sea pool at Summerleaze is the calmer option for anyone not ready for open water. Ask us in the morning and we’ll tell you which beach the tide and the wind suit best that day.
The practical bits
There’s baby changing in both the male and female toilets, and the toilets and site facilities stay open 24 hours — which matters more than you’d think at two in the morning with a small child.

Quiet, and kept that way
Entry is controlled by an automatic number plate recognition barrier, and CCTV covers the park 24 hours a day. Very little traffic moves about, so younger ones get room to be fairly free-range.
There’s no security guard on site, but we walk round the park ourselves. Children remain your responsibility at all times, particularly near the water.
The dog comes too
Dogs are welcome in every stay, so nobody gets left behind. We ask that they’re kept on a lead no longer than two metres, exercised in the area provided and never left unattended — including in the stay while you’re out for the day.
The breeds we can’t accept are Rottweiler, Doberman, Bull Mastiff, Pit Bull Terrier and their crosses. There’s a dog wash behind reception for the state they come back from the beach in.

Questions & answers
It’s a low-density, family-run site: 21 camping pitches across eleven acres. Entry is through an automatic number plate recognition barrier with CCTV covering the park 24 hours a day, so there’s very little traffic moving about. There’s no security guard on site, but we walk round the park ourselves. The river runs through the middle of the park and nobody is allowed in it, so keep an eye on little ones near the bank; children remain your responsibility at all times.
