Pitches available for touring caravans, motorhomes and tents

Smart family-run park within Woodbury Common
Easy drive into Exeter
Excellent facilities including bar, bistro and play area

They say an Englishman’s (motor)home is his castle – so when choosing where to brake, you’ll want a spot fit for a king. Castle Brake Holiday Park in east Devon should pass muster: it’s a smart, family-run park within the heathland of Woodbury Common, ideally placed for an invasion of Exeter and the sought-after sands of the Jurassic Coast. The facilities are splendid: a spotless, cedar-clad amenities block with underfloor heating and family bathrooms; a laundry room; the Castle Inn bar and restaurant for homemade nosh using local ingredients (takeaways are also available); a play area; and ample space for a peaceful stroll and a bit of wildlife spotting. (Please note that the bar and restaurant are not open every evening during low season.) Castle Brake Holiday Park is within half an hour's walk of the village of Woodbury, which has a handful of good pubs and shops, or it’s an easy ride into Exeter for anything else you might need.

What customers say

A well-kept, clean site with super friendly, helpful staff. Guests loved the great facilities, especially the warm, spotless washrooms. Delicious food and drinks were a hit. Peacefulness and a handy location for exploring were often praised. Minor notes included occasional WiFi fees and some pitches needing tidying.

Liked Great site
Quiet area
Good little playpark
Clean campsite
Good & clean toilet & wash areas
Great pub/drink area
Friendly staff

Disliked 1 little spoiler:
Took my 6yr old daughter to toilet and got told off by a worker/cleaner that I wasn't allowed to do this.
It was just myself & daughter on a camping trip
Tried to ask him if he worked there and he was very cagey. But was cleaning/wiping showers down so I presume he did work there
Made my daughter feel like scared! He wasn't pleasant!

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Campsite was in a lovely location and the site was lovely, kids park was brilliant

Disliked The toilets could have been cleaner, but I do think this was down to a few teenagers that kept messing about in them and blocking the sinks and toilets with ripped up leaflets. The pitches were a little close together for tents, only half of them were taken and I think if the fields was fully booked I can imagine it would have been a bit cramped.

Liked Lovely quiet site, large field to exercise the dog. More importantly the welcome we received was second to none and bar staff very welcoming too.

Disliked Was a bit to close to road, but had a hedge between that did softened the noise a bit.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked Staff and facilities,especially having your services by your pitch rather on the other side of the site!

Disliked The ludicrous decision to place a Childrens play area within 30 mts of people's Tents! One afternoon an adult and a few kids were playing Football within a few metres of Campers Tents, inc mine!. Out of my 4 nights stay the play area was being used until around 10.00pm every night, then on my last night they were being rowdy until midnight. I informed reception staff on my departure and was assured that my complaint will be taken on board, where i suggested that the play area should be gated and locked at 9.00pm, also another suggestion would be to inform the "PARENTS" on check-in that kids are not allowed in the play area after 9.00pm.

FHU gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Staff were very friendly and helpful, shower block was clean with plenty of hot water.
Bar/restaurant more than adequate for our needs with good freshly cooked food. Level pitches.

Disliked Quite a few thistles growing up through gravel on pitch (but only took about 10mins to pull up using claw hammer.
Please can someone explain why there is a fee to bring a small car towed behind a motorhome but using a car to tow a caravan there is no fee, a motorhome or caravan stays on site for the duration of holiday and a car is used for days out, so what's the difference??

Local attractions

Six miles from Castle Brake Holiday Park are the red cliffs of Budleigh Salterton and the family-friendly sands of Exmouth, gateways to the glories of the Jurassic Coast. A little further along the coast is Sidmouth, which features ravishing Regency architecture along its sweeping esplanade. Whether you’re a culture hound or an outdoorsy creature, there’s plenty to do within easy reach: exit into Exeter, an attractive cathedral city brimming with museums and historic sites, or delve into Dartmoor, for more remote adventures. For splashy and screamy fun, a wilderness woodland, indoor and outdoor adventure play areas, farm animals and more, head to the Crealy Great Adventure Park, a mere four miles up the road from Castle Brake. Or try the World of Country Life, which has a petting zoo, indoor and outdoor rides and slides, vintage steam engines, museums and events as eclectic as welly wanging and the six nations ferret races...
