  • Well-kept, spacious pitches at a rural Devon site near Holsworthy
  • Bude and Westward Ho! beaches within a half-hour drive
  • Dog-friendly pitches; barbecues permitted on site
Park yourselves on the pitches at Old Park Cottage Camping and you'll be not only in a peaceful rural Devon spot but also prime position for getting out and about to a whole host of attractions around the coast and countryside of north Devon and Cornwall. About 10 minutes' drive from the town of Holsworthy (a useful place to find shops and places to eat), this is a quiet site with simple and spacious pitches where you'll be able to light barbecues and relax in the fresh air. Facilities include well-maintained toilets, showers and a washing-up area, with solar panels providing eco-friendly energy. Dogs and kids are welcome to join you at this site, and you should be able to find plenty of ways to entertain both. There are lots of great walks nearby, either on country trails (including in the northern part of Dartmoor National Park) or along the South West Coast Path. Beaches are in good supply too, as are family attractions (the BIG Sheep and Milky Way Adventure Park are both about half an hour’s drive away).

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I recently stayed at this campsite and it was a fantastic experience. The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and offers a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing. The pitches were spacious and well-maintained, with plenty of room for a tent or caravan.
The facilities were clean – the showers had hot water all day, and the toilets were always tidy.
You definitely have to visit the pond with the wooden footbridge, where you’ll find a little monkey and a fox. It’s such a charming place.
Rick, the owner, is such a positive person. We had endless laughs with him
Overall, this campsite is great for families, couples, or solo travelers who want a balance of comfort and a genuine outdoor experience. I would definitely recommend

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely rural spot off the beaten track between okehampton and holsworthy. A small camping area on a rolling field. Very good facilities for the price and well-maintained. About an hour's drive from popular destinations (along country lanes).very welcoming owner and nothing too much trouble. A quiet site away from tourist hotspots but within reach. We would stay again and visit the same places again.

A very peaceful site, level pitches, and extremely clean.

Dave R.

Powered grass and gravel caravan site

Liked This is a beautifully clean, well kept site! The owner (Rick)was very friendly, and was available for any problems at all times. The toilets and showers were exceptionally clean, and remained so throughout the day. Very peaceful, away from it all site, but you can walk to nearby hamlets, and a beautiful church which was open to visit. Very good value for money.

Disliked nothing to dislike!
