Add your business details- Simple grass pitches on a rugby field in Newton Abbot, Devon
- A 20-minute drive to Torquay Beach and Dartmoor National Park
- Bar and eatery in the clubhouse; pubs and shops five minutes’ drive
Well, you’re certainly guaranteed flat grass pitches when you book a camping break at Devon’s Newton Abbot Rugby Club, for the very good reason that the campsite doubles as the rugby field – and it’s only open to the camping world during the summer off-season. Happily the site is kid-friendly, with lots of space for kicking a ball around, and dog-friendly too, with lots of waterside walks along the River Teign bordering the grounds.
They may not have electric hook-ups, but the pitches do have some handy amenities: wifi reception to stop any teenage grumbling; gas cylinders and recycling available; hot showers and loos (including disabled facilities) located in the clubhouse, and of course, you can use the club’s bar and dining services whenever it’s open.
For the occasions when the clubhouse remains shut, barbecues are allowed on the pitches; pick up supplies from the superstore five minutes’ walk away. If you’d rather rely on someone else to do the catering while you’re on holiday, pop into Newton Abbot (five minutes’ drive) and surf its cluster of pubs, restaurants and takeaways.
Please be aware there may be other events running at the clubhouse during your stay, such as band nights, family fun days and comedy shows.
