Barnstaple 2 bedroom safari tent
Liked: The glamping safari tent at ruda was great. It was clean, affordable, comfortable and well supplied so that we could rock up and just unpack no need to build a tent or set up a van! The view was great and located so close to the beach!
Disliked: The wind shook the tent a lot and some storm straps could have been useful as it was loud at night. Also as the tents are near eachother you can hear others, but it didn't bother me too much though my partner lost some sleep over it.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Excellent customer service at reception. Quickly relocated to be next to family and another query dealt with excellently. Good access to all facilities. Gorgeous views and quick access to the beach.
Disliked: Touring block showers were quite tired and often mucky but we did see regular cleaning. Littering appeared to be an issue.

Croyde Burrows powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked: Lovely walk to the beach and into Croyde - can’t beat where the site is situated
Disliked: Shower block needs major updating. They were clean but the showers were awful - had to keep turning back on virtually every 30 seconds! Also the water sprayed the back of the door instead of coming straight down !

Barnstaple 2 bedroom safari tent
Liked: Clean and tidy site, especially the shower block. Everything you need on site. Excellent proximity to the beach.
Disliked: Entertainment was a bit weak, but I understand it was midweek and out of season. Some free facilities closed too early for my liking I. E. The Boathouse closing at 22.00 but I understand the reasons why.

Liked: The pitch , the sea view.
Disliked: The long wait for food in the restaurant, and it was quite expensive.

From the manager: Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave your review. There's really nothing better than waking up to a lovely view with your cup of tea in the morning. It’s disappointing to hear you do not find our bar and restaurant reasonably priced. We always aim to provide something suitable for all budgets with ever changing offers and also stay competitive with the local area. I do hope this experience won't deter you from visiting one of our 65 Holiday Parks again in future. ^AB

Bray powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Location is fabulous. The beach is so close I could hear the waves from my sleeping bag. There is a good selection of eateries and activities for kids.
Disliked: The toilet and shower blocks are in a poor state. I expected much better from a Parkdean resort. The pitches aren't entirely flat, which isn't a problem until you're at the bottom of the field in the pouring rain (which we were). There is a mole problem! Each night/morning we could hear the moles scratching under our groundsheet. Every morning there was a new pit for us to stumble in and risk an injury. This also made for an uneven ground to place our chairs, risking tearing a hole in the groundsheet of our tent. All of this, plus the inclement weather, caused us to cut our 4 night stay, to a 2 night stay. Rather disappointing.
