  • Well-kept, spacious pitches at a rural adults-only site in Devon
  • Bude and Westward Ho! beaches within a half-hour drive
  • Dog-friendly pitches; barbecues permitted on site
Park yourselves on the adults-only pitches at Old Park Cottage Camping and you'll be not only in a peaceful rural Devon spot but also in a prime position for getting out and about to a whole host of attractions around the coast and countryside of north Devon and Cornwall. Roadford Lake is only half an hour's drive away if you fancy trying out watersports like kayaking, paddleboarding or sailing (fishing is also possible for the anglers among you). There are lots of great beaches nearby, as well as walks, either on country trails (including in the northern part of Dartmoor National Park) or along the South West Coast Path. Dogs are welcome to join you at this site and should very much appreciate having so many options for walkies nearby. About 10 minutes' drive from the town of Holsworthy (a useful place to find shops and places to eat), this is a quiet site with simple and spacious pitches where you'll be able to light barbecues and relax in the fresh air. Facilities include well-maintained toilets, showers and a washing-up area, with solar panels providing energy.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked A lot of thought and care has gone into creating this campsite. Good shower/toilet block, washing up area with hot water and a nice kitchen/honesty shop. All very well maintained, and a very reasonable price per stay. Will definitely come back

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I could not fault Old Park Cottage- the owner was friendly on arrival and made us feel very welcome. The area is so beautiful and peaceful- I understand the owner is currently adding different accommodation however, we were so pleased with the facilities, the owner had thought of everything! He was more than accommodating and helped with setting up our tent, alongside another camper and offered blankets to ensure we were warm with our girls. Unfortunately, we had to leave before planned as our girls did not cope with the camping/ weather however, my husband and I will be back ASAP! I could not recommend enough!

Yurt

Liked The yurt was clean, warm, dry and fantastically whimsey. It was everything advertised and more. The site was clean, well kept and clearly very well looked after. It is in a prime location and at night all you can hear are the owls and the wind in the trees. I will be staying again, and will not hesitate to highly recommend the old cottage camping site to anyone.

Yurt

Liked My wife and I stayed in the Yurt and had an amazing stay—you will not be disappointed! It is completely peaceful, with thoughtful lighting for night time including lovely nightlights and a main light with a dimmer switch. Outside, there’s a small decking area that is beautifully lit up at night. The site facilities are brilliant. There are three well-maintained, clean toilets and two fantastic showers—I highly recommend using the shower located about 5 meters further inside the small barn! Having access to the communal area with kitchen appliances and a 24-hour small shop selling milk, chocolate drinks, and even barbecues was incredibly convenient. What made our trip truly special was the atmosphere and hospitality. At night, we could sit back and listen to the owls. Rick was the perfect host—so helpful, honest, and genuine. He even pulled out a bird-identifying app so we could learn which birds we were hearing singing! The location is ideal as well—only about 10 minutes into Holsworthy and an easy drive to the coast at Bude. We will definitely return, big thanks to the whole team at Old Park Cottage 🤪

Liked Great peaceful location; dark skies for stargazing; toilets and shower are excellent and the kitchen hut is super handy for a quick top up or to cool some food. Great host who is always by for any help or for a friendly chat. Great scenery around to relax in the peace and quiet.
