About Skern Adventure - Abbotsham
Skern Adventure sits on 35 acres of Devon countryside just outside Bideford, offering both peaceful lakeside pitching and a full programme of on-site activities. You can book climbing, high ropes, kayaking and paddleboarding during your stay, or simply enjoy the space for barbecues and dog walks around the lake. The Big Sheep theme park is within walking distance, the local pub five minutes away, and beaches like Westward Ho! a short drive.
With non-electric and electric grass pitches available, plus facilities for tourers, this is a budget-friendly base camp for exploring North Devon. The views stretch from the hills to the coast, and the site welcomes families, motorcyclists and dogs year-round. Some visitors mention facilities can feel a touch tired in places, but the combination of adventure activities and sweeping countryside keeps it popular with active families and groups looking for an affordable Devon escape.

What visitors say
We had a fantastic day at Ultimate Adventure. Really good value for money, we spent the whole day there and did high ropes, climbing, archery, mountain boarding and finished with the assault course. All equipment was provided (except for wet shoes, which we brought anyway). We also ordered the lunch package which was great value, hot filled baguettes, crisps and a drink. The instructors were superb, friendly and helpful and very engaging. Would definitely recommend and will be going back next time we're in Devon. A great day out!

I took my two granddaughters here for the full day of activities and it was fantastic. They did high and low ropes, climbing, archery, mountain boarding and the assault course. We were there from 09.30-17.45. The instructors were brilliant. The girls loved it. Fantastic day and value. I'm taking my grandsons next.

We didn't stay here but purchased an Adventure Day Pass. This is incredibly good value for money 5 activities for under £25! The staff were brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable and highly professional. We had the most fantastic day and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Can't tell you how the rooms are but I can tell you this is a five star experience. Amazing array of activities with fantastic instructors who really care about what they do and the customer experience. Harriet and Nadia were top notch in making all their guests feel welcome and make the most of their experience. If I could give them 6 stars I would.
