  • Eco site in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • Spotless amenities including wetroom showers and baths
  • Adults-only site with licensed shop selling local produce
Want to explore south Devon in any season? With scenic views of Salcombe and the countryside towards Dartmoor – but close to a busy market town with shops, restaurants, pubs and takeaways, which can be accessed via an inland footpath or a bus which stops at the entrance of your site? Take a trip to the traditional Parkland Caravan and Camping Site in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a mile from the market town of Kingsbridge: this level, well-drained site in mature grounds is surrounded by natural hedgerows that are home to lots of wildlife to spy. Parkland has high standards all round, with heated and spotlessly clean hotel-style amenities including individual wetroom showers with basins and toilets and access to baths. Hot water is free to use and is heated by solar panels: Parkland is a green site with energy-saving lighting and has a strong recycling and waste disposal ethos. Other facilities on site include a dishwashing area and metered laundry room. For food, a pub is less than a mile away in Churchstow dishing up good cider and reasonably priced meals, with other eatery options in the nearby villages of Bantham and Thurlestone as well as Kingsbridge. If you’re getting the other half to cook for you, well done… and there's an on-site shop with fresh local produce and everyday essentials as well as local crafts, camping essentials and beach goods.

What customers say

This adult-only campsite is highly praised for its spotless, hotel-quality facilities, including private bathrooms, a well-stocked honesty shop, and a communal lounge. Its central South Devon location is ideal for exploring local towns and attractions, with excellent bus links right outside the entrance. Guests appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, friendly and helpful hosts, and well-maintained, spacious pitches. While most found little to dislike, a few mentioned road noise or tight access for larger vehicles.

Local attractions

First up, Kingsbridge: the town is a mile away from Parkland, with two footpaths running from the park so you don't need to tramp the main roads. If you’re getting the bus, a stop is at the Parkland entrance; if you’re driving, there are several places to park including at the Quayside where there are markets, concerts and events throughout the year. Next, Salcombe, Devon’s most southerly town and accessible by bus from Kingsbridge. It's famed for its ice cream – try the rum and raisin – and you can also try boating and watersports from here, with tuition available for the uninitiated. Both Salcombe and Kingsbridge are in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with two National Nature Reserves, heaps of walks and trails, and several towns and villages including Dartmouth and Bigbury-on-Sea – on the coast above the biggest sandy beach in south Devon and with access to the tiny Burgh Island where Hercule Poirot went after baddies. Closer to home for sand fans is Bantham, the closest beach to Parkland and a serene spot for surfing, wildlife spotting among the dunes or slathering on the suntan lotion.
