  • Family-friendly countryside site 30 minutes’ walk from Exmouth beach
  • A 25-minute drive from Crealy Adventure Park and 30 from Exeter
  • A few metres from a watersports centre and the river Exe
What do you picture when you think of going on holiday? If it’s beaches, stately houses and coastal walks through dinosaur country, then scurry over to Prattshayes Campsite, a green-field site 35 minutes’ drive from Exeter in Devon. Prattshayes Campsite is a top spot for venturing out around country and coast: three-mile-long Exmouth beach is a 30-minute walk from the site and it feeds into the Jurassic Coast at Orcombe Point 15 minutes down the beach. You can see more of the Devon coastline by picking up the 630-mile South West Coast Path at Exmouth beach, or following the Exe Estuary trail from Exmouth to Exeter and over to Dawlish. More of a water-based creature? A watersports centre – where you can try out windsurfing, paddleboarding and kayaking on the river Exe – is very close, or you could stick to Exmouth beach for some swimming and basking. Back on site, reward yourself for all your hard work by firing up the barbecue, piling it high with calories (pick up supplies from Exmouth, less than 10 minutes’ drive away) and tuck in before heading over to the on-site bar (open during high season only) to wash it all down. If you’d prefer to venture off site for your dinner, there are plenty of restaurants worth trying within 10 minutes.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, peaceful campsite offering spacious pitches and excellent, clean, modern facilities, particularly the individual shower/toilet pods. Guests appreciate the convenient location, a short walk from the beach and local amenities, and praise the friendly, helpful staff. While most visitors have a very positive experience, some mention occasional issues with shower water pressure and the narrow access lane.

Electric grass pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Liked A lovely campsite in a great location. It’s just a 15/20min walk into beautiful Exmouth. The showers and toilets are newly fitted and are lovely! Out pitch was really big and they are private too. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Disliked Nothing.

Maximum 7.5 meters electric grass pitch

Liked Everything was easy, booking, gate to get in, pitch number was given ahead of time on a message through pitchup website.
Hot showers and family room enough space to get changed in them with a sink and toilet all in one separate pod.

Disliked Only thing my girls found the taps hard to push themselves on the sink and when we did push them the water pressure is very high so it sprays out at you to wash your hands so just be ready for a bit of splashback.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Lovely pitch and campsite, clean toilet and shower facilities. Staff were friendly.

Disliked If the shop / bar opening hours were a bit longer, that would be a bonus, but this wouldn't stop us returning

It's best to approach the site from the Littleham end of Maer Lane, rather than from the beach end, and avoid Castle Lane as it is very narrow.

Local attractions

Start your stay at Prattshayes Campsite by sticking close to site, as there’s loads nearby to keep you (and the whole fam) busy. Head into Exmouth for the Exmouth Museum, then venture a little further out for the World of Country Life park, Hawkridge Bird of Prey Centre, Bicton Park Botanical Gardens and the weird and wonderful 16-sided National Trust property A la Ronde, all less than 15 minutes’ drive from the site. A la Ronde whetting your appetite for history and stately piles? Fab Powderham Castle is just over half an hour from Prattshayes Campsite, and is open for tours and lots of special events. If that’s still not quite enough, the museums, underground passages and cathedral of Exeter (worth a visit for shopping and food too) are also a little over half an hour from the site. If you have kids in tow starting to protest about the walk down (centuries-old) memory lane, there’s oodles nearby to get them back on side… Start 20 minutes away with some go-karting to blow off steam, get their adrenaline pumping on the rides at Crealy Adventure Park (25 minutes), then pile them into the car for a jaunt to Paignton Zoo, less than an hour away.
