  • Well-kept, spacious pitches at a rural Devon site near Holsworthy
  • Bude and Westward Ho! beaches within a half-hour drive
  • Dog-friendly pitches; barbecues permitted on site
Park yourselves on the pitches at Old Park Cottage Camping and you'll be not only in a peaceful rural Devon spot but also prime position for getting out and about to a whole host of attractions around the coast and countryside of north Devon and Cornwall. About 10 minutes' drive from the town of Holsworthy (a useful place to find shops and places to eat), this is a quiet site with simple and spacious pitches where you'll be able to light barbecues and relax in the fresh air. Facilities include well-maintained toilets, showers and a washing-up area, with solar panels providing eco-friendly energy. Dogs and kids are welcome to join you at this site, and you should be able to find plenty of ways to entertain both. There are lots of great walks nearby, either on country trails (including in the northern part of Dartmoor National Park) or along the South West Coast Path. Beaches are in good supply too, as are family attractions (the BIG Sheep and Milky Way Adventure Park are both about half an hour’s drive away).

What customers say

This is a peaceful, clean, and well-maintained campsite in a good location for exploring the Hartland coast. Visitors praised the immaculate facilities, including brand-new toilets and showers, and the welcoming, friendly owner, Rick. The site is dog-friendly and offers lovely rural views. Glamping options, like the bell tent, were reported as comfortable and resilient. No significant downsides were mentioned.

Dave R.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked This is a beautifully clean, well kept site! The owner (Rick)was very friendly, and was available for any problems at all times. The toilets and showers were exceptionally clean, and remained so throughout the day. Very peaceful, away from it all site, but you can walk to nearby hamlets, and a beautiful church which was open to visit. Very good value for money.

Disliked nothing to dislike!
