What customers say
Praised for its beachside location and friendly staff. Facilities are generally clean but some find them a bit dated. Lots of activities for families. Some noise/cleanliness issues noted, but most would return.

Ok if you don’t mind filthy facilities.
Croyde Burrows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Close to the beach
Disliked Disgusting shower block. Filthy toilets full of used sanitary towels, overflowing with rubbish, didn’t flush properly and damaged toilet seats. Showers were utterly disgusting and stank. Sandy, dirty, smelly. Mould on the ceiling. It’s a disgrace that they charge what they do and only get away with it because it’s so close to the beach. Despite arriving well before 6pm both receptions were closed. Had to find security to check in to our pitch.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite (no pets)
Liked Liked How close it was to the beach and handy shops on site.
Disliked We were told to stay 3 meters away from other tents staff told us where to place our tent they stood by us and told us where we had to lay our groundsheet which limited what we could have even though we paid for extra gazebo. Thankfully people one side of us said we could use some of their space they didn’t need. Day 2 other side of us people left new people came and pitched their tent 24 inches from our tent nothing was said to them and they kept us up most of night and early morning as we could hear everything being said and done like they were inside our tent. Kids constantly hitting our car with footballs, No privacy, everyone squeezed in like sardines so we left a day early as too stressful. Sadly wouldn’t go back.

Croyde Burrows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Location to beach.
Disliked We came 10 years ago and loved it. But unfortunately for the price you pay the toilet blocks are not up to standard. The shower pressure was terrible and it was so hot in there you felt like you needed another shower when you got out.

Perfect campsite for access to the beach and spotless facilities.
