What customers say

Great location right on Croyde Bay beach, with awesome sea views. Staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Henry. Good food at the cafe/bar next door. Pitches can be a bit sloped and facilities are basic (showers cost extra), but the location and views are top-notch. Most people reckon they'll be back!

Unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked Amazing location with stunning views
Good location to walk to beach and croyde
Amazing food and drink
Clean showers and toilets

Disliked Having to pay for showers giving the pitch price with no electric
Wardens need to smile a little. Seemed at their happiest when they were reminding you to leave.
With a little invested in toilets and showers will be amazing

Liked Henry was fab - very helpful, extremely friendly and let us keep our bikes in the reception for the day whilst surfing even though we had technically vacated our pitch! Also beautiful location and good facilities

Disliked The camp is close to the road so there is some traffic noise but not too bad

Liked The location and view were absolutely incredible. We had a pitch at the front of the site which looked out onto the bay. The owner was really kind and chatty, stopped by to talk to us about local things going on in Croyde and some surfing advice. Also is one of the only dog friendly camp sites and all dogs were very well behaved. Pitches were allocated so there were no stresses about trying to find a spot. Quick walk down to the beach. A brill food and drinks place next door as well as spots to hire surfboards or get lessons. Lots going on! :)

Disliked Had to pay for the shower (£1 for 5 mins) and the toilets didn’t have sinks- it was the automated hand washing things.
To note, the camp site was next to the road leading into Croyde, so there can be quite a bit of traffic, this wasn’t so much of a problem though. And really, the views made it worth it!

Local attractions

Other beaches in the vicinity include Woolacombe (15 minutes’ drive), a vast expanse of sand that’s popular for all sorts of watersports; and Tunnels Beach at Ilfracombe (25 minutes), whose rockpools and tidal pool are reached via a network of galleries excavated in the 1820s. Ilfracombe also has a sheltered harbour with a small aquarium. Watermouth Castle (half an hour) is a theme park with landscaped gardens, a maze and spectacular views of the Devon coastline. Family-friendly attractions include a toboggan run, a river ride and spinning teacups (except they use cooking pots here). There’s also miniature golf and the Hobbledown Bay adventure play area. If the kids are into animals more than thrill rides, take them to Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (half an hour), where they can get up close and personal with sea lions and help to feed the wolves. Residents at Exmoor Zoological and Conservation Centre (35 minutes) include cheetahs, capybaras and wallabies.
