    We stayed in the non-electric camping area of this large holiday park, which was basically a field with long grass encircled by trees. It was quiet and very lovely, and we could pitch wherever we wanted, and it was just a very short walk from the toilets, showers, laundry, sinks, and children's play park (which was just outside the field area, probably visible from only a few pitches nearby). Felt very safe there and would thoroughly recommend. Warm welcome, well-stocked reception / shop. Excellent communal showers / washrooms, etc. Wifi was even available in the camping field (at a cost) although we did not use it.

    Disliked: 

    None.

From the manager...

Thank you so much for recommending us to your friends. We love to read you found our park to be excellent, clean, safe and friendly, as this certainly sums up what Castle Brake is all about. We look forward to welcoming you and your young children, back real soon.

Kind Regards
The Castle Brake Team

    We were welcomed and given a map to our pitch was signposted qnd easy to find.
    We are new at camping and did not have the correct plug for the electric point, my husband asked a member of staff who gave us a connection to use for the night. Everyone we met was very friendly.
    Pizza at the pub was very good, tasty.
    Good value for money.
    Toilet block clean and nearby camp site.

A great stay with young kids08/28/2024

    Like other reviews have mentioned, there is a sister site called Ladram Bay that the car pass lets you visit. Here there is soft play, a large adventure playground, an outdoor splash park, indoor swimming pool, mini golf and a private beach. You have to pay for the swimming as a camper, which is fair enough but worth knowing.
    The facilities at the sister site are great and look quite new. It's much larger and busier. The private beach has great rock pools at low tide.
    We ate at both the restaurant at Castle Brake and at the sister site. Both meals were great. The meal at Ladram Bay we were sat right on the balcony with a sea view that was amazing.
    Toilets on site were clean. Booking through here we had 'classic camping' which meant we didn't have a specific pitch number and could go anywhere in a large field. The field wasn't busy and everyone was quite spaced out. Play park at castle brake was good, although more tired that at Ladram.

    Disliked: 

    Not a dislike per say, but with the swimming at Ladram you need to be ready to dive straight in and go right on the 15 mins slots. Our hour session ended when we'd only been in the pool 45 mins. Every 15 mins they dish out different coloured bands.
    Water ran out while we were staying, but only on some taps, which was confusing. The restaurant did cope though and gave us a meal.

From the manager...

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your review and comments regarding your camping holiday with us. We are very pleased you had a great stay with your young kids. It certainly sounds like you made the most of the access to our sister site Ladram Bay, where all of our guests are made very welcome. Thank you for recommending us to your friends and we do hope that you choose to return very soon.

  • Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
  • Recommend to friends   Visit again
  • Liked: 

    Pitch sizes were brilliant
    Toilets and showers were spotless and well kept, the grounds were also well kept.

    Good location to local attractions although the access road was quite tight for towing the caravan to and from although this is not your fault.

    Staff were very friendly, waving as they went by and cracking jokes.

    Very relaxing and peaceful site with a good sized children's play area and football field for the kids to use.

    Would definitely stay at this site again if we came down this way for our yearly holiday

    Disliked: 

    There wasn't much lighting between pitches at night so definitely bring a torch with you.

    A small slight note to add is we had a bench on our pitch that was moved while we had gone out for the day, it was moved/pushed into our awning and had bent two if the pegs.

From the manager...

Thank you for your perfect ten review, we are so pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us and that you would rate us as an excellent site with good size pitches and amenities. It really sounds like the children had lots of fun in the playground and football pitch. We're thrilled you would definitely stay at Castle Brake again if you are down this way. We look forward to seeing you, hopefully, in 2025.
