Aerial view of our campsite 2024 before we built the new toilets etc

Level grass pitches 2025 with the option of electric hookup.

A new outside shower, a wetsuit wash, and a sunny, private drying area.

Well-established family-friendly site in the centre of Croyde
A short walk from Croyde's beach, surf schools, shops and pubs
Peaceful site with large, level pitches and communal freezers

Ah, Croyde – the mere mention of this lovely little village is liable to perk up the ears of surfer types, who’ve no doubt heard about the splendid waves around this corner of Devon. Those same surfer types (along with those who’d like to learn the art of standing up on water, and anyone else that’s keen on the coast) should also find their ears pricking up at the offerings of Camping @ Croyde Bay, a friendly site in the village centre. The waters at Croyde beach, around 400 metres away, are famed as being fab for both keen surfers and novices, and that also makes this area a top pick for family holidays. The well-established site is a family-friendly place too, in a spot that’s easily walkable to the village’s shops and pubs but quiet enough for a good night’s kip. Facilities include purpose-built toilets and showers, and a much-loved ladies' dressing room with a mirror, power points, hair dryers and hair straighteners. There is an additional hot outdoor shower for sandy wetsuits, a drying area, plenty of fresh drinking water and a washing-up area for dealing with dishes. Guests can also use the communal freezers and mobile phone charging points. As for the local area, it’s not all about Croyde: Putsborough beach (another corker) is also within walking distance, and it’s a couple of miles to Saunton for more sandy times and a gorgeous golf course.

Connie P. Sept 2024

Electric optional grass campervan or trailer tent pitch (maximum 6 metres)

Liked: Spacious pitches, thoughtful positioning of new arrivals as to ensure everyone was spread out. Clean and well maintained. Level pitches with electric was fantastic, they even had spare extension cables and leveling blocks if you needed them. Toilets and showers were basic but always clean, so wouldn’t ask for more. Wetsuit drying area, outside hot tap for sandy feet, hair dryers/strainers in the women’s changing room, fresh coffee/tea/hot chocolate available and communal freezers were a great touch. Location was excellent, 5 min walk or less to pubs shops and restaurants, 10-15 minutes to the north end of the beach. Would definitely stay again. Beautiful views. Simple recycling points.

Disliked: Road noise was quite loud when on the top pitch, however, this couldn’t be helped, and the views from this area made up for it! Could have a baby changing facility as there wasn’t one. Anti-slip mats were needed in the shower when trying to shower with a baby

From the manager: Thank you for your ten out of ten review. For clarification; We are, a level 10 min walk to the beach. We are fortunate to have a pavement beside the main road and an off-road footpath is also nearby, from the centre of the beach to the centre of the village. I hope to see you again soon. Stu.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked: The campsite is geared up for surfing and just a 5 minute walk to the beach, lovely hot outdoor shower to rinse sandy wetsuits and body’s (including a wetsuit drying area) and nice hot showers within the toilet block, in the ladies there is a full length mirror, hair dryers and straighteners to get ready for evenings in the village.
Free use of chest freezers and the washing up liquid dispenser is a nice touch at the washing station. It is a quiet campsite so no music or radio which is nice when you want to sleep.

Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The cleanliness of the facilities/the facilities themselves (hairdryers, straighteners, free charging ports), the location is absolutely perfect, 5 min walk to local pubs and shops, 10-15min walk to the beach! The onsite manager (Stu) was so helpful with sorting a late checkout and also lending us some bits that we had forgotten! He also offers surfboards and bodyboards to rent for the day which is very inexpensive. The whole atmosphere is nice, chill and quiet with a range of age groups & families staying there. Everyone was super welcoming and we cannot complain about the price/facilities/location,

Hayley I. Aug 2024

Electric optional grass campervan or trailer tent pitch (maximum 6 metres)

Liked: Close to beach, onsite WiFi - this was a godsend as my teen got bored very quickly! Pubs were very cosy and welcoming although completely packed out as weather was bad

Disliked: Very busy campsite with no real amenities but a basic wood shower/toilet block. Croyde itself only has 2-3 shops and a couple of pubs so 2 nights was plenty for us. We didn’t eat out as it was far too busy. Sadly the weather was terrible so not anything to do so my teenager was very bored!
I had to end up paying even more for my daughter and electric! So it cost over £80 for just 2 nights! Very pricey indeed for a basic campsite. Not one for us again I’m afraid but ideal for surfers!

From the manager: I'm glad at least the free wifi came in handy as the weather this August bank holiday weekend could have been better for you.
P.S. You booked for 1 adult and a child (no electric). You arrived with 2 adults and a child and added electric hook-up. I discounted things for you as a gesture because of the confusion. I am sad you didn't enjoy Croyde. I hope you give it another chance when the sun is shining. It is a magical place when the time is right. Regards. Stu.

Local attractions

So… the beach? Thought so. Croyde’s one of those fab places that’s equally good for a paddle, a swim or a surf. Experienced boarding types can usually find some good waves down here, and there are shallower sections where newbies can find their feet (with the help of one of the village’s surf schools, ideally). For a rest from the waves, take a walk out to Baggy Point (about 45 minutes on foot), join a game at the village’s beach volleyball school or drive for 10 minutes to the rural pursuits at Borough Farm Sheepdog and Falconry Displays. Alternatively, make it all about the sea with a coasteering day from Croyde, a ride on the beach at Woolacombe or a sea safari from Ilfracombe (both 15 minutes’ drive). The beaches at Putsborough and Saunton Sands are both about five minutes’ drive away and there are some cracking walks to be had on the South West Coast Path around here too.
