Camping @ Croyde Bay

A quiet family campsite in the heart of Croyde village

Camping @ Croyde Bay operates a campsite in North Devon, positioned within Croyde village itself and set in a leafy green space that the site presents as a tranquil base for coastal family holidays. The park describes itself as a destination for quiet family breaks by the sea, and its stated policy of no loud music or overnight partying is intended to let guests sleep undisturbed after a day on the beach or exploring the village.

The surrounding area is presented as a hub for outdoor activity: surfing, walking, cycling and rock climbing, with access to the South West Coast Path and the Tarka Trail. Croyde Bay's wide sandy beach sits along the North Devon coastline and is described as one of the UK's better-known surfing beaches, close to the village's specialist shops and eateries and its thatched cottages.

Pitches and how the fees work

The site lets grass pitches for tents, trailer tents, motorhomes and campervans, with scenic views indicated across the park. Pitches are predominantly level and measure a minimum of 7m by 8m, with most described as very level and even larger; guests with an unusually large tent are asked to say so in advance.

Pitch fees start at £20 per night and include the first person and their vehicle. Extra people, children, electric hook-up, additional cars and EV charging carry additional charges. No charge is made for infants, gazebos, awnings or pop-up tents. Infants aged 0-2 stay free, and the booking process allows infants aged 0-3 to be added at a later stage of the reservation.

Facilities for beach life

A set of facilities is oriented towards surfing and wet-weather camping. The park provides surfboard hire, a wetsuit area and a wetsuit wash, along with hot showers and a hairdryer. Guests can use phone charging at reception, a freezer and washing-up facilities, and the site maintains stocks of soap and toilet rolls. Recycling is available on site, and food vans serve food and drinks on site.
