  • 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).

What customers say

Relaxing rural getaway with super clean facilities and a helpful owner. Lovely surroundings, great for exploring. Dark nights perfect for stars, but pack a torch for trips to the loo. Highly recommended!

Tammy H.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Well-maintained pitch, clean and tidy shower and toilet block. Was welcomed by owner and had phone number if any problems but didn't need it. On the last morning all the taps and shower had frozen solid but I was leaving early so didn't have time to tell the owner. My water in the van was not frozen so not really a problem except I couldn't have a shower.
Very dark site with no lighting at all - great for start gazing but you need a torch to go to the toilet/shower blocks.

Helen M.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely tidy site. There was only ourselves and one caravan booked in.
We had a choice of anywhere we wanted to set up so we opted to pitch on the grass area on a caravan pitch and parked the car on the hard standing. The weather was awful on the Saturday with an almighty storm hitting. The owner checked in to see if we were ok as the weather was so bad. The owner also offered us the electric point to charge our phones which was much appreciated.

Toilet and shower was spotless, great hot shower.

In better weather at night it would be a great place to spot the bats and you could hear the owls hooting all around as well.
