What customers say
This is a very clean and well-maintained campsite with excellent facilities, including modern shower blocks and useful extras like hairdryers and freezers. It boasts a fantastic location, offering easy walking access to Croyde village and the beach. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful. While most guests praise the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, a few mention noise from traffic or nearby village venues. Some minor points of improvement include occasional queues for facilities and wishes for warmer showers.

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Disliked Not staying there longer.

Worked as a last min solution to a last min bank holiday break
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Toilets and showers
Disliked Staff and the ban on music and not being allowed to park near your pitch to unload or pack up
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Dear Emily, We make it abundantly clear at booking and at check-in that music is not permitted at any time on our campsite.
Having to ask guests to turn off their music repeatedly is not what we want, as it clearly can result in animosity towards our staff.
"No Music" is our well-advertised USP; guests love it, and it reportedly makes their camping trip much more in tune with nature and their fellow campers. We specialise in creating a peaceful family vibe, rather than a party atmosphere. Respect for one's surroundings and one's fellow campers is paramount at camping@croydebay.
There is a dedicated parking space adjacent to every pitch or (in a handful of pitches, as with your booking) 7 yards away.
I am quite sure that a 1 out of 10 score is unjustified.
I do hope you can give us another chance one day.
For now, please accept my assurance that I take all feedback as a way to improve.
Very good
Electric optional grass campervan, trailer tent or tent pitch
Liked Clean, quiet campsite. Facilities are excellent.
Disliked We were put next to a large group (7 or 8 tents) of some friendship group. They dominated the area and let there kids run feral with little consideration for other neighbouring campers. Unfortunately you can’t control this type of attitude. Even with this I would give the campsite 5 out of 5.

From the manager: Dear Ian,
I really do appreciate your honest feedback. School holidays for us are a very busy time, and as you say, people will be people, and it's hard to fathom. That said, you know I keep a fairly tight ship and look out for bad behaviour. Please email me next time so I can find you a quieter pitch.
See you again soon.

Fabulous site
Electric optional grass campervan, trailer tent or tent pitch
Liked Lovely site, nice flat pitches , loved the family shower room , so much easier ! And the ladies dressing room is fabulous, a really brilliant campsite!!
Disliked Having to pack up and come home
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks Lucy. I really appreciate your feedback. It's so nice to know we are on the right track. We strive to be the best family campsite around. Come back soon. Stu.
Basic site but was quiet and close to beach and town which we liked.
Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch (maximum 7 metres)
Liked Peace and quiet on the site which is why we booked this site.
Disliked On a corner pitch by the tap and washrooms so people walking past all the time but it was OK. Washrooms clean and had everything you needed.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks Kim for your kind words. Feel free to call me and request a particular pitch next time in a quieter corner spot. Regards. Stu.
clean and tidy
Electric optional grass campervan or trailer tent pitch (maximum 6 metres)
Liked right in the middle, good access to the beach and the village, we turned up a bit too early and was expecting to pay the extra for early arrival but the host waived the charge which was really nice, some places just try and get every penny out of you.
Disliked wifi poor

Electric optional grass campervan, trailer tent or tent pitch
Liked Facilities. Proximity to the beach.Close to town.
Disliked Pitches quite close to each other. No ball games was not enforced and in what is a quite cramped site was unacceptable.Twice unchecked teenagers kicked the ball at my van.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We have many signs saying no ball games after 9pm and even a dedicated football area away from everyone. Sadly some kids and families are less responsible than others during the busy kids holidays. I hope you are able to visit us at a quieter time of year. Stu.
