We're planning a trip to Devon over the bank holiday at the end of May & are after any recommendations for sites.

We'd never been to Devon until last May & really liked the area. We stayed at Twitchen House just outside of Woolacombe, but don't fancy going back after the regular nightly arrival of the local plod to brake up fights, & arrest other drunken campers :x .

We will be haeding down in 2 lowered bays so somewhere with reasonable entry roads would be nice (although not esstential as I'm used to the exhaust scraping on everything :lol: )

We'll have a 7 year old with us so looking for somewhere that allows kids.

Cheers.
 
Hi

I would go Ruda every time as its right on the beach at Croyde. You do pay for this but has great facilities (swimming pool, coffe shop, fish and chip shop, pub, spar!! etc) on site if the weather isn't behaving itself. Although it is part of a chain its not quite as hi di hi as some of the other big chain parks and mainly full of well behaved groups of surfers and young families. The security is pretty tight also.

We only live 30 mins away and still use it when we are too "tired" to drive home!

Pure camping is just down the road. Very basic, and only room for maybe 6 buses max, but very chilled. Electric hook up, showers, fire pit, very cheap. We were shocked at how basic it was when we arrived, let's just say that they have a great web designer, but it turned out to be our favourite site. If you have it all to yourself and your friends then I honestly couldn't think of a better way to spend a few nights. If you're there with strangers, then they probably won't be strangers for long. Be aware though that the men's and ladies showers are in the same small block, and the only way to differentiate between them is by the colour of the curtain. I almost had a very embarrassing moment when my mate's wife walked in just as I'd put my pants on. All the girls said they wouldn't risk the showers, but then changed their mind without telling me!
