About the site

Overlooking Croyde Bay, this family friendly site makes for the perfect base for those looking to chill out on the beach or catch some waves.

Great eco credentials

Joy W

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Medium Grass Pitch (Pitch 24)Sep 2025

A very nice, small site, with narrow pitches. Very friendly welcome on a very wet day. Loved the eco credentials.....metal washing up bowls, metal bolts on toilet doors, plenty of recycling facilities. Loved the extra touches, i.e. Deodorant spray, tampons and air freshener in the girls shower block, washing up liquid. Washing up area could have done with hotter water at times. Easy access to beach, and facilities to 'de Sand' wetsuits etc. Liked the no audible music rule.

Great location, really chilled

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitch (Pitch 31)Jul 2025

Really enjoyed our stay at Ocean Pitch. Great pre-arrival communication. Great welcome, and site tour, on arrival. Pitches are relatively closely positioned, with ropes dividing, but wasn't an issue, and the ropes are useful for drying clothes/wetsuits etc. Washroom facilities are a little basic, but adequate, and with wonderful strong and hot showers. Great food offering via 2 street vendors. Good WiFi across the site. But the best thing has to be the location, with the beach only minutes away. Happy to stay here again.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Pitch (Pitch 32)Apr 2025

Great stay, very friendly staff and great street food! Nearly perfect, if the manager's friends would not have parked their car on our pitch on our last evening.

Site's response

Hi Bernhard, thanks for your review and glad you enjoyed the campsite. Once again, we are sorry for the inconvenience of one of the guests accidentally parking on your pitch for a short while before finding out where to move overnight. It's never happened before and will be sure not to happen again. We hope to welcome you back to Ocean Pitch again soon. Thanks and all the best.

A note from the site themselves...

Ocean Pitch is at the heart of our family life - working and living a stone's throw from the ever so beautiful Croyde Bay with outstanding views of the beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

Our goal was to always create a cosy, idyllic atmosphere where campers could return each season creating memories by the ocean!

Welcoming both families, couples and surfers alike, our campsite is small, but holds a special atmosphere where campers can relax and unwind after a day in the surf, on the beach or exploring the South West Coast path. What's more we have an award winning surf inspired street food van onsite (Biffen's Kitchen) to keep your appetite satisfied during your stay.

Things to do on site and in the Croyde area

The site offers plenty of fun activities, with surf hire among the most popular options.

Learn how to ride the waves with Surfing Croyde Bay, which is highly regarded as one of the best places to learn how to surf here in the UK. They offer both professional surfing lessons and exciting coasteering experiences for those looking to get up close to the coast.

The South West Coastal Path is also less than a five minute walk from the site, with walking and cycling routes. You can follow the trail 20 minutes down the coast to Baggy Point, a National Trust headland where you can spot seabirds nestling on the cliffs.

A 20 minute drive along the coast will take you to Woolacombe Beach, known for its golden sands and surfing opportunities. Here you will also find Funder Island, an amusement park with mini golf and other seaside attractions, perfect for keeping the kids busy.
