What customers say

This campsite is spotless with top-notch facilities, including modern showers and handy extras. It's brilliantly located for walking to Croyde village and the beach. Staff are always friendly. Most love the peace, though some mention traffic or village noise. Minor gripes include queues and shower temp.

Emily L.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Toilets and showers

Disliked Staff and the ban on music and not being allowed to park near your pitch to unload or pack up

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Emily, We make it abundantly clear at booking and at check-in that music is not permitted at any time on our campsite.
Having to ask guests to turn off their music repeatedly is not what we want, as it clearly can result in animosity towards our staff.
"No Music" is our well-advertised USP; guests love it, and it reportedly makes their camping trip much more in tune with nature and their fellow campers. We specialise in creating a peaceful family vibe, rather than a party atmosphere. Respect for one's surroundings and one's fellow campers is paramount at camping@croydebay.
There is a dedicated parking space adjacent to every pitch or (in a handful of pitches, as with your booking) 7 yards away.
I am quite sure that a 1 out of 10 score is unjustified.
I do hope you can give us another chance one day.
For now, please accept my assurance that I take all feedback as a way to improve.

Very good

Electric optional grass campervan, trailer tent or tent pitch

Liked Clean, quiet campsite. Facilities are excellent.

Disliked We were put next to a large group (7 or 8 tents) of some friendship group. They dominated the area and let there kids run feral with little consideration for other neighbouring campers. Unfortunately you can’t control this type of attitude. Even with this I would give the campsite 5 out of 5.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Ian,
I really do appreciate your honest feedback. School holidays for us are a very busy time, and as you say, people will be people, and it's hard to fathom. That said, you know I keep a fairly tight ship and look out for bad behaviour. Please email me next time so I can find you a quieter pitch.
See you again soon.
Stu.

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Peace and quiet on the site which is why we booked this site.

Disliked On a corner pitch by the tap and washrooms so people walking past all the time but it was OK. Washrooms clean and had everything you needed.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks Kim for your kind words. Feel free to call me and request a particular pitch next time in a quieter corner spot. Regards. Stu.

Electric optional grass campervan or trailer tent pitch (maximum 6 metres)

Liked right in the middle, good access to the beach and the village, we turned up a bit too early and was expecting to pay the extra for early arrival but the host waived the charge which was really nice, some places just try and get every penny out of you.

Disliked wifi poor

Local attractions

So… the beach? Thought so. Croyde’s one of those fab places that’s equally good for a paddle, a swim or a surf. Experienced boarding types can usually find some good waves down here, and there are shallower sections where newbies can find their feet (with the help of one of the village’s surf schools, ideally). For a rest from the waves, take a walk out to Baggy Point (about 45 minutes on foot), join a game at the village’s beach volleyball school or drive for 10 minutes to the rural pursuits at Borough Farm Sheepdog and Falconry Displays. Alternatively, make it all about the sea with a coasteering day from Croyde, a ride on the beach at Woolacombe or a sea safari from Ilfracombe (both 15 minutes’ drive). The beaches at Putsborough and Saunton Sands are both about five minutes’ drive away and there are some cracking walks to be had on the South West Coast Path around here too.
