View of hope cove

  • 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

A well-kept, peaceful spot with great facilities. Owners are friendly, views are stunning, and it's a handy walk to Hope Cove. Private pitches with hedges are a bonus, though showers cost 20p/min.

Rob v. 1 review

Unpowered grass site

Liked Fantastische camping.
Zeer ruim opgezet, goed onderhouden.
Fijne ontvangst, beheerder verstaat zijn vak.
Doet minimaal 1 keer par dag een ronde over het veld en weet wat er speelt.
Sanitair en overige voorzieningen zijn onberispelijk.
Op zaterdag pizza-night, heerlijk !
Leuke wandeling van 20 minuten naar Hope Cove, schattig plaatsje aan de oceaan.
Dit is echt een aanrader

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Had a great time at this wonderful, extremely well kept site.
It was lovely and peaceful yet within minutes to the bustling town of Salcombe.
Tom was extremely polite and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him.
We had such a lovely time staying here.

Disliked Remembering to always have some 20p coins for the showers was a pain at times. Perhaps it would be better to charge extra to include it in the pitch fees?
Just a thought. Other than that the toilets & showers were immaculate

Recommend to friends Visit again

Will definitely be going back.

Unpowered grass site

Liked The owners are incredibly welcoming and genuinely friendly – nothing is ever too much trouble for them.
• Pitches are huge with absolutely stunning views.
• You can have a BBQ or fire as long as it’s elevated off the grass, which is a brilliant touch.
• Toilets and showers are spotless, modern, and well maintained.
• Hot water works on a 20p‑per‑minute system, which is easy and fair.
• Overall atmosphere is peaceful, relaxed, and perfect for a getaway.

Disliked Honestly, nothing to dislike – everything was excellent.
