What customers say
This campsite boasts an excellent location, just a short walk from the beach, with friendly and helpful staff. Visitors praise the clean facilities, spacious pitches, and good on-site amenities. While many enjoyed the entertainment and activities, some noted that the shower and toilet blocks are dated and could benefit from modernisation. The site can be busy, and occasional noise from other guests was mentioned. Overall, a popular choice for a beachside getaway.

Electric grass touring pitch (no pets)
Liked Site was great location, pool was fun, beach was clean and local town was walking distance.
Disliked The toilets were the only let down for me, they need to be cleaned more regularly in peak season!! Often dirty and no loo roll.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no pets)
Liked Nice park, very busy but quiet at the same time. Drinks in the clubhouse were very expensive; showers and toilets were clean; the pitch was a good size. Bring heavy-duty pegs, as the ground was a little hard. Pitch has stone underneath
Disliked No fridge to store icepacks like other sites

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (no pets)
Liked Location to beach and to Baggy point walk great 😊 Swimming pool was excellent. Play area was good. There are options for eating on site as well as food trucks, pubs and restaurants nearby. Closeness to Croyde village also easy.
Disliked Busy site, quite noisy on Saturday night. Toilet facilities would be better if there were private sink areas rather than washing your face and brushing teeth with other people also ceiling in showers is reflective- odd. Toilet blocks could also do with another clean and toilet rolls replenished between evening when everyone comes back from beach and morning. Also we weren’t allowed a bbq due to fire risk which we completely understand but then meant we had to eat out more rather than cook our own. Do not recommend fish and chips- overcooked and brown.

Croyde Burrows electric grass touring pitch
Liked Our 4th time in this fantastic spot. Although this site is part of a large park complex it is across the road from the main facilities (shop, pool, bars/restaurants etc) so it has all the benefits without feeling over-developed/commercial etc.
Disliked Nothing much. The showers are a bit meh but perfectly usable... temperature not controlable and was turned up too high on a couple of the days.
