Got 2 weeks off in June and looking for a caravan site in the area. We have a daughter who will be 3 so would prefer kids park, good bar/restaurant for mum and dad. Close to town / walking distance. 

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 we went here a couple of weeks ago, and had a great time, good shop on site, take-away, a seperate pub and an entertainment complex on site, indoor and outdoor pools, pitch & putt, kids play areas etc. they also have a bus service £2 per person per break, that will take you to the other sites they own and also down to the beach at woolacombe, that is a super and sandy beach.

I don't think you can beat Ruda in Croyde - has everything you need and ours LOVED it when they were tiny -  not been since it was taken over though, so you might want to read some recent reviews - you hardly need a car once you are there - apart from the odd trip to Braunton for supermarkets!

I will second the above, and I know at least another 3 families that will 3rd 4th and 5th it, we have been going here since our twins were 3 and they are 10 now.  It is a little more expensive than some sites but it is right on the beach and if you walk to it through the caravan park and not along the road you come to the beach near a river which the little ones can play happily and safely in without having to go too near the sea.  Our oldies (OH) all love the sea, body boarding surfing etc, some of them run up Baggy point around to Woolacombe and back!!   It has a club, a pool complex which your 3 year old will love, a shop, a cafe , a well priced restaurant and a great park area near to the caravan site.  You can walk into Croyde a quaint village, It is not too far from Illfracombe, Woolacombe and a lovely little beach called Putsborough.

We are off there in May for 10 days... can't wait!!

Great thanks for all replies, we were looking at the CC site at Hillhead in Brixham price for 2 weeks £346 for awning and 3 adults and 1 child age 3. Does this sound reasonable. But will check the others in a min.

Cheers

Just priced up to see how much it would cost us to go there for the same time we're off to Magic Cove and it works out at £43.49 a night!!!!!!!!!!!!! more than double and we're nowhere near the beach, I can't get over how dear some sites are

          We go to Hendra every year, its a fantastic site, with plenty of ammenities

          and great entertainment, we will be there again this july.

I'm glad you like it, not for us even if the price was right as we're not into sites with on-site entertainment

Why go to the trouble of pricing it up?

---

as a comparison, nothing wrong in that is there

you don't have to pay extra for the entertainment, But the nice thing when you go on holiday is meeting new people and joining in with whatever is on. Unless you have your own entertainment in the evenings
