The camping field (added by manager 29 jul 2022)

Smart family-run park within Woodbury Common
Easy drive into Exeter
Excellent facilities including bar, bistro and play area

They say an Englishman’s (motor)home is his castle – so when choosing where to brake, you’ll want a spot fit for a king. Castle Brake Holiday Park in east Devon should pass muster: it’s a smart, family-run park within the heathland of Woodbury Common, ideally placed for an invasion of Exeter and the sought-after sands of the Jurassic Coast. The facilities are splendid: a spotless, cedar-clad amenities block with underfloor heating and family bathrooms; a laundry room; the Castle Inn bar and restaurant for homemade nosh using local ingredients (takeaways are also available); a play area; and ample space for a peaceful stroll and a bit of wildlife spotting. (Please note that the bar and restaurant are not open every evening during low season.) Castle Brake Holiday Park is within half an hour's walk of the village of Woodbury, which has a handful of good pubs and shops, or it’s an easy ride into Exeter for anything else you might need.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: The abilitions was kept in good working order, clean. The pitches was Spacious. Dog poo bins everywhere and didn't smell. Bar did good quiz nights and bingo. Reception was very helpful about the local area.

Disliked: Pot hole on every road, wasn't nice driving or walking. The angle of the speed bumps wasn't good, so when towing the caravan it was hard with the pot holes and the speed humps.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: The toilets and showers were very clean

Disliked: The roads around the park have got massive pot holes that looked like a building site. They had to tow our caravan in and out because in front of the hardstanding was grass areas that were like a bog and because of the pot holes it knocked the glass off the top of the cooker and the end of the kitchen tap off. Our hardstanding pitch was flooded and when we asked to move we were told there was no more pitches but there was three hardstanding pitches in the same field that were not flooded and not used all weekend. We will not be going back there again with our tourer and we think anybody thinking of taking there tourer there should seriously look into it.

Local attractions

Six miles from Castle Brake Holiday Park are the red cliffs of Budleigh Salterton and the family-friendly sands of Exmouth, gateways to the glories of the Jurassic Coast. A little further along the coast is Sidmouth, which features ravishing Regency architecture along its sweeping esplanade. Whether you’re a culture hound or an outdoorsy creature, there’s plenty to do within easy reach: exit into Exeter, an attractive cathedral city brimming with museums and historic sites, or delve into Dartmoor, for more remote adventures. For splashy and screamy fun, a wilderness woodland, indoor and outdoor adventure play areas, farm animals and more, head to the Crealy Great Adventure Park, a mere four miles up the road from Castle Brake. Or try the World of Country Life, which has a petting zoo, indoor and outdoor rides and slides, vintage steam engines, museums and events as eclectic as welly wanging and the six nations ferret races...
