  • Welcoming site with splendid sea views a 15-minute drive from Salcombe
  • South West Coast Path five minutes’ drive; Dartmoor Zoo 45 minutes
  • Shop selling local produce; five minutes’ drive from a beach
Splendid beaches, sheltered coves and spectacular coastal trails are all within fairly easy reach at Karrageen Caravan and Camping Park. This welcoming and well-maintained Devon site is only about five minutes’ drive from pretty Hope Cove, a popular spot for watersports and watching the sunset. Grass pitches occupy a large field with views of the English Channel. Guests can light up a barbecue for dinner, having sourced some grillables from the on-site shop (which also has an off-licence), from the supermarket on the A381 road (five minutes’ drive) or from Salcombe (15 minutes). If you feel lazy (after all, that’s what being on holiday is all about, right?), you can eat out at the nearest restaurant in Bolberry (five minutes by car or a 20-minute walk), and there’s also a pub serving food in Hope Cove. From Hope Cove, it’s also possible to join the South West Coast Path on an exploration of Devon’s splendidly rugged coastline. A 35-minute hike takes you to Palmers Point Lookout, while heading north takes you to National Trust - South Milton Sands (25 minutes’ walk), with a wide beach backed by the South Huish Wetlands Reserve, a freshwater lake that attracts ducks and geese, as well as summer warblers. On-site amenities include a toilet/shower block with facilities for disabled guests, a washing-up area, a launderette and a communal fridge-freezer.

What customers say

This is a highly recommended campsite, praised for its stunning views, spacious pitches, and exceptionally friendly and helpful owners. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are consistently described as spotless and well-maintained. The location offers a pleasant walk to Hope Cove, with good on-site amenities like a shop offering fresh bakery goods. Some guests noted the roads to access the site can be narrow. Shower costs are met with mixed reactions, with the 20p per shower system explained by the owner as due to spring water usage. Wi-Fi can be intermittent on some pitches.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A truly brilliant campsite. The facilities are spotless, the setting is peaceful, and the host goes above and beyond, honestly one of the most helpful owners I’ve come across. The themed pop‑up kitchens most evenings are a great feature, giving you plenty of food options without needing to leave the site. Although the campsite is remote, about a mile’s walk takes you to a beautiful beach and a handful of pubs and restaurants. I loved every part of my stay and would highly recommend it.

Disliked Nothing there is noting to dislike

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Brilliant site, just back from a 3 night stay. Warm welcome by the owner on arrival, who gave as all the site/ location info.A very clean and well maintained site.Toilets and showers were spotless-credit to the owners. Approx 25 minute walk to Hope Cove from site.

Disliked WiFi was a bit patchy on our pitch. And our ee signal was in and out but we were at the bottom of the site.

Local attractions

Explore both the rural and coastal landscapes around Salcombe with a visit to National Trust - East Soar (five minutes’ drive). Trails at this nature reserve take in gentle hills with grazing cattle and dramatic cliffs, while the gardens at Overbecks, overlooking Salcombe Estuary, have a collection of subtropical and rare plants. Part of the South Devon National Landscape, Bigbury Beach (35 minutes) is an expanse of sand that (at low tide) acts as a causeway to Burgh Island. The island itself was a favourite destination of Agatha Christie, who wrote (and set) some of her novels here. At high tide, a sea tractor shuttles visitors between the beach and the island. Residents at Dartmoor Zoo (45 minutes) include big cats, colourful exotic birds and several types of geckos. The zoo runs a lively programme of events – from yoga classes and photography workshops to after-hours sessions with talks and music.
