  • 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 a 15-minute drive from Salcombe and 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 water. Guests can light 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. If you feel lazy (after all, that’s what being on holiday is all about, right?), the nearest restaurant is in Bolberry (five minutes' drive or a 20-minute walk), and there’s 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 this splendidly rugged coastline. A 35-minute hike takes you to Palmers Point Lookout, or head north to National Trust - South Milton Sands (25 minutes’ walk), with a wide beach backed by the South Huish Wetlands Reserve, a popular spot for birdwatching. 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

Lovely, well-kept site with great views. Friendly owners, top-notch facilities, handy shop. Good for walking to Hope Cove, though roads can be tight. Showers are 20p, changing areas could be better. Wi-Fi's a bit hit-or-miss.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly and attentive hosts who want you to have an excellent stay and are very open to feedback. Beautiful setting with great walking on the doorstep. Very useful shop with fresh bread and pastries available to order. Facilities kept pristine.

Disliked Water is supplied from a spring so the owners ration water usage through charging for showers and washing-up. Trouble is that it's difficult to get hot water in the wash-up area without spending 40p a time!

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful campsite with spacious pitches. Stunning views & great hiking location. Hope cove is about 1/2 hr walk.

Really liked the staff and the facilities were really clean. Great Saturday night pizzas too!

Disliked 20p for 1.5 minutes is a little irritating but to be honest it made Me conscious about my water usage so it’s objective worked. I would have preferred a larger cubicle to change into my dry things or more hooks in the showers for clothes as they get wet on the floor.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.

We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the campsite, the spacious pitches, the views, the walks from Karrageen and, of course, the Saturday night pizzas!

I’m especially glad you found the staff great and the facilities clean, as those are our main focuses in running the site. We work hard to keep everything well looked after, so it really does mean a lot when guests notice and appreciate it.

Thank you also for your feedback about the showers. The 20p system is in place mainly because our water comes from our own spring rather than a mains supply, so it helps us manage water usage across the site, particularly during busy periods. That said, I completely understand your point about the changing space and hooks. We’ll certainly take that on board, as small practical improvements like extra hooks can make a big difference.

We’re really glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back to Karrageen again in the future.
