Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi,
Did you not find the large new showers through the washup area and turn right?
They are individual, lockable, and completely private, open to anyone on site.
Regards,
Stu.

A aimé Location excellent.
Lovely flat pitches.
Nice simple touches like washing up liquid provided and bin bags etc.

N'a pas aimé No music policy. Whilst I respect this and the reasons, I feel some low level music in daytime hours (as long as it’s within your camp space volume) wouldn’t be an issue.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks Rachel. I appreciate your feedback. I tried low level music to start with but people will be people and it all went south really quickly. So no music at any time was the only way and in general it's the best thing, considering tents don't contain sound. See you soon. Stu.

A aimé Great site, the location to the beach and village were perfect.

Upgraded bathroom facilities. Area to clean and dry wetsuits.

Option to book in early.

A aimé Everything, we had a nice big pitch. Plenty of room for us and the car. The showers, toilet block and wash areas were always kept clean. There was hairdryers and straighteners in the women's shower rooms which was a good bonus.
It was a short distance to local shops and pubs and a short distance to the beach.

A aimé Stu was fantastic, we arrived early and he allowed us to pitch up early.
He was so accommodating and as this was our first ever camping trip he was so helpful.
Facilities were always clean and close to our pitch, which was great. Its a quick ten minute walk to the beach. The village is only a 5 min walk away for any entertainment. We will definitely be booking again.

A aimé This is a lovely friendly, family run campsite. The pitches were of a good size and nicely organised by staggering them on a hill. They were level and we had a great view of the countryside from our pitch. The facilities were great; they were always clean and tidy and there were nice touches like hair dryers and straighteners so that you can pack a bit lighter. I also liked that the well maintained wash up area which had washing up bowls and washing up liquid dispensers. This was great as we forgot ours!

Location was perfect with a 10 minute walk to the beach and a few minutes into Croyde. While staying we enjoyed horse riding at Woolacombe riding stables; a surfing lesson with Surf South West and a nice meal at The Thatch in the village. We had a beautiful walk along the coastal path which is great for walking and running.

The campsite was really quiet most of the time.

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike about this site. The pitchup site didn't make it clear that electric hook up was added or how to add this when booking. This meant that I had an extra fee to pay when I arrived that I wasn't expecting. This is an issue with the pitch up website rather than the campsite.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi and thanks so much for the 10 out of 10 review.
I will raise the issue again with Pitchup.
We do have new lockable showers with a bench, hooks, and room to change in complete privacy. They are accessed through the washup area, near the entrance to the ladies. I am sorry you didn't know that they were there, they are new and popular. Stu.

A aimé Beautiful views of the surrounding fields. The shower block was just fantastic. Modern and clean. Plenty of room for showers and washing up facilities. Also really appreciated the little basket of toiletries and hairdryers/straightener's in the women’s - really nice touch. Our pitch was also pretty level.

N'a pas aimé Wish I had read more depth on the owner of this facility. Although we didn’t have an overly bad experience of him - he did come across unfriendly and intimidating. Really disliked the rule of no music. I appreciate his rules and some people prefer it - but majority vote for me would be that camping and music go hand in hand. So we really noticed that missing on our trip. The rule was far too strict and should be changed to time limitations - not during the day when everyone is off at the beach so wouldn’t have harmed anyone having a background radio on. I’m unsure what scene the owner is trying to achieve considering the ‘no noise at all’ rule doesn’t rule out noisy children.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Dear Miss Hake,

I hope you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed your time with us. It was a pleasure interacting with you, and I truly appreciate your kind remarks about our campsite and facilities.

I just wanted to gently clarify our policy regarding music. We have a no-music rule at all times, which is something we communicate clearly to ensure everyone can enjoy a peaceful environment. Most of our guests respect this, and it’s a big part of why many choose to return season after season.

We understand that everyone has their own preferences, and we’re always happy to accommodate most needs. If some guests prefer louder entertainment, there are plenty of other wonderful campsites around Croyde where that’s more the vibe.

Thank you again for your visit and for sharing your feedback. It means a lot to us, and I hope to welcome you back again soon!

Kindest regards,
Stu

A aimé Great campsite, probably one of the best we have been to. Little things like having a freezer available or mobile charging points make the difference.

N'a pas aimé N/A

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks so much for your support. See you soon i hope. Stu.

A aimé Large pitch with space for awning, and to sit and have dryer for wetsuits. Walking past other sites in Croyde they appeared more crowded and more sloping. Very clean.

N'a pas aimé Outside shower was not “hot” as promised but well used non the less. Great to get sand off feet and wetsuits after walk back from beach.
