  • Welcoming site with splendid sea views a 15-minute drive from Salcombe
  • South West Coast Path five minutes’ drive; Dartmoor Zoo 45 minutes
  • Shop selling local produce; five minutes’ drive from a beach
Splendid beaches, sheltered coves and spectacular coastal trails are all within fairly easy reach at Karrageen Caravan and Camping Park. This welcoming and well-maintained Devon site is only about five minutes’ drive from pretty Hope Cove, a popular spot for watersports and watching the sunset. Grass pitches occupy a large field with views of the English Channel. Guests can light up a barbecue for dinner, having sourced some grillables from the on-site shop (which also has an off-licence), from the supermarket on the A381 road (five minutes’ drive) or from Salcombe (15 minutes). If you feel lazy (after all, that’s what being on holiday is all about, right?), you can eat out at the nearest restaurant in Bolberry (five minutes by car or a 20-minute walk), and there’s also a pub serving food in Hope Cove. From Hope Cove, it’s also possible to join the South West Coast Path on an exploration of Devon’s splendidly rugged coastline. A 35-minute hike takes you to Palmers Point Lookout, while heading north takes you to National Trust - South Milton Sands (25 minutes’ walk), with a wide beach backed by the South Huish Wetlands Reserve, a freshwater lake that attracts ducks and geese, as well as summer warblers. On-site amenities include a toilet/shower block with facilities for disabled guests, a washing-up area, a launderette and a communal fridge-freezer.

What customers say

Cosy pitches with gorgeous views, a stroll from Hope Cove. Visitors rave about the welcoming owners, spotless facilities & tranquil vibe. Shop & food vans on site. Pay showers use 20p coins (for spring water). WiFi can be spotty. Highly recommended!

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked A truly brilliant campsite. The facilities are spotless, the setting is peaceful, and the host goes above and beyond, honestly one of the most helpful owners I’ve come across. The themed pop‑up kitchens most evenings are a great feature, giving you plenty of food options without needing to leave the site. Although the campsite is remote, about a mile’s walk takes you to a beautiful beach and a handful of pubs and restaurants. I loved every part of my stay and would highly recommend it.

Disliked Nothing there is noting to dislike

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We absolutely loved our stay at Karrageen — it really is a little gem of a campsite and the nicest campsite we’ve stayed at.

The location is simply stunning, with beautiful views across the Devon countryside towards the sea with spectacular sunsets viewed from the top field. The site feels wonderfully peaceful and spacious, with generous pitches and plenty of room around you, so even when it’s busy it never feels overcrowded.

The facilities were excellent with extra family toilets & shower room and also a unisex shower room. Everything was well maintained and cleaned on a regular basis. The whole campsite has a lovely family-run feel, and the owners were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

It’s also perfectly placed for exploring the area. The walk down to Hope Cove is gorgeous, and a great spot for paddle boarding and kayaking, we even spotted a seal off the opposite shore as we kayaked around the cove, There are plenty of beautiful coastal walks and beaches nearby too.

We also loved the little touches — the on-site shop and the fresh bread in the morning were a real treat.

Karrageen has that rare combination of beautiful surroundings, peace and quiet, excellent facilities and genuinely warm hospitality. We left feeling completely relaxed and already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommended — we wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Local attractions

Explore both the rural and coastal landscapes around Salcombe with a visit to National Trust - East Soar (five minutes’ drive). Trails at this nature reserve take in gentle hills with grazing cattle and dramatic cliffs, while the gardens at Overbecks, overlooking Salcombe Estuary, have a collection of subtropical and rare plants. Part of the South Devon National Landscape, Bigbury Beach (35 minutes) is an expanse of sand that (at low tide) acts as a causeway to Burgh Island. The island itself was a favourite destination of Agatha Christie, who wrote (and set) some of her novels here. At high tide, a sea tractor shuttles visitors between the beach and the island. Residents at Dartmoor Zoo (45 minutes) include big cats, colourful exotic birds and several types of geckos. The zoo runs a lively programme of events – from yoga classes and photography workshops to after-hours sessions with talks and music.
