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.

Castle Brake Holiday Park is open from 22/05 to 03/11.

Camping Pod - Orchard Camping Pods PlusAug 2025

This was a great location near to everything. Only 15 minute drive to Ladram bay to use the facilities. The pods were very good and had everything you needed and well sound proofed. Only one little niggle was that the double bed mattress was on the very cheap side. And were the bunkbed mattresses. But the kids weren’t fussed at all 😁 Staff very friendly and toilet and showers were very good too. Will be revisiting. Thanks

Excellent place to stay

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2025

This site was one of the best I've stayed on. The staff were all very friendly and professional. We were running late for check in due to traffic and they called to check we were ok and explained what to do if reception was closed when we arrived. The on site bar had a good selection of drinks and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. There was entertainment on the weekend that we were there. The toilet and shower block is modern and clean, the showers have heat control and you don't have to keep pressing them every 30 seconds to keep the water on, they are timed to give you a good shower. There is also free family bathrooms. There's a park for the kids and a lovely dog walk through the woods. The park caters for everyone. The pitch's are a decent size and well maintained. It's an excellent base to explore the surrounding area. We will definitely be booking again.

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding PitchesAug 2025

Generally, we had a good stay, clean site, easy check in. Car drive to Exmouth, local pub also a car drive away. We used the onsite restaurant with family and two of the party were ill afterwards, which is a shame as the food is good quality and generous portions. We were in on Acorn which is a long way from the toilet block.
