Such a nice clean campsite. Pitches are big, facilities are nice and clean and the extra touches such as a freezer, hair dryers and straighteners and free washing up liquid are very thoughtful. Highly recommend 👌

VW-Type Campervan - Grass Pitches with Optional ElectricAug 2026

Great little site, very relaxed setting right next to Croyde village which is lovely. It's only about a 10 minute walk to the fantastic beach. Staff are lovely and very helpful, and facilities are very good.. It's not too far from the neighbouring beaches either.

Superb campsite

A note from the site themselves...

I am so proud of my little gem of a campsite. Being from Croyde gives me a passion for the village that others may lack. My wife and kids help me during busy periods. One of us is always in reception and keeping an eye on the facilities, etc.

We live next door to the site, so we're always on hand to offer local activity advice, such as secret walking paths, the best places to eat and drink, and of course, inside information on where and when to surf.
