About the site


A family run campsite on the edge of East Devon's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this peaceful spot is well placed for exploring the Jurassic Coast (15 minutes) or enjoying a city day out in Exeter (20 minutes). Campers can choose from non electric grass pitches for tents only, or opt for electric grass pitches (6m x 6m) with a 10 amp hook up for tents and trailer tents. There are also fully serviced hardstanding pitches (8m x 8m) with 10 amp electric and water hook ups for tourers. If you fancy a bit more space, there are 13 premium fully serviced hardstanding pitches measuring 7m x 10m, each with a 16 amp electric hookup, for caravans, campervans, and motorhomes. All pitches are spread across two mainly level fields, offering a relaxed and spacious setting. For those who prefer glamping, there are eight pods onsite, all sleeping four people with a double bed and a bunk bed. Bedding is not provided. All of the pods have a kettle, fridge, a small dining area, heating, power sockets and a picnic bench. For a little more luxury, the Orchard Pods Plus have an ensuite toilet and a small kitchenette with a sink. Three of the pods are dog friendly. There is also a range of holiday homes to hire as well as seasonal touring pitches. There is plenty to do onsite with a bar and restaurant, a playground and a games room. Guests may also use the facilities at Ladram Bay, where there is a swimming pool and private beach (charges may apply). Or, take a 30 minute walk to Woodbury for a range of shops and pubs as well as the common, great for a game of golf or walking. Alternatively, guests can reach sandy Exmouth Beach within a 15 minute drive for a day of swimming and sunbathing! Dogs are welcome with up to three per booking. Three of the Orchard Pods Plus are also pet friendly. Open fires are not permitted, sorry.

Large Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2025

From the warm welcome the moment we arrived it was a fantastic break. The reception ladies were lovely, the site and pitches excellently maintained, the toilet and shower block was clean and the family bathrooms were such a good touch - being able to dunk your shower hating child in an actual bath made life much easier. The staff in the bar were super friendly and the food was so good that we ended up eating out twice, which was not in our plan! We even had friends to visit who live locally and they are going to book and stay for a few nights camping (even though they only live 15 mins away) because it was such a lovely place to be. It feels safe and everyone was polite and respectful. The kids enjoyed some freedom, us adults enjoyed some sunshine - and a drink or two - and the dog enjoyed all the fuss made of her by our neighbours!

Camping Pod - Orchard Camping Pods Plus (Dog Friendly)Aug 2025

We had a wonderful week at Castle Brake. We were greeted with smiles & friendly staff. The accommodation was very clean, as was the site in general. The pod was fit for purpose, clean (not a hair found considering it was a pet friendly pod) & comfortable. The pod had a full size fridge with a small freezer compartment and was ideal for our needs. The site itself was quiet and most, if not all were respectful of others especially at night. The pods are a a short and level walk from the shower block. The dog was well catered for too, with access to a field, treats & food to purchase from the onsite shop. Although we only ate there the once, there is a bar/restaurant which is accessible in the late afternoon and evening which provides well cooked (to order) food, substantial portions. The laundry room provide large load washing machines (not industrial) which was at a cost of £5 with dries being £1 per 10 minutes. This is our only criticism as we ploughed £5 in the drier and was still left with wet washing, but this said we could have put the washing out to dry had we the facility to at the pod. However, this did not dampen (excuse the pun) our spirits. We had booked 4 nights and enjoyed our stay so much we stayed a 5th, which thankfully they were able to accommodate in the same pod. Overall a wonderful, relaxing stay.

Camping Pod - Orchard Camping Pods Plus (Dog Friendly)Jul 2025

A lovely welcome from staff, when we arrived, good information given about the site and also about us using there sister site. The pod we stayed in was generally clean, though the mattress protetors seemed a bit old and worn. Would go back again. I think it would good to advertise you need to bring all your own pots, pans and cutlery as this wasn't very clear. The surroundings were lovely and peaceful
