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. Situated on the South West Coast Path, this also makes for a popular destination for keen walkers and even climbers looking to explore Baggy Point. The site welcomes tents, campervans and small motorhomes (6.5 metres in length max) across its range of grass and hardstanding pitches, half of which offer electric hook up. The site offers three types of pitches, small, medium and large, so check your tent or campervan size before booking your desired pitch. A range of the non electric grass pitches also enjoy views out over the beach and bay, the perfect spot for watching the sunset with a chilled beer or glass of wine. Water sports enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice. Rent surfboards, bodyboards, paddleboards and wetsuits from the onsite surf hut and enjoy spending your days out on the water! BBQs are welcome onsite, just please ensure they are raised from the ground. Bricks can be provided. Open fires are prohibited. Sorry, dogs are not allowed.

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.
