Hi Campers

Its Panic stations, I have had my heart set on camping in north Devon in a holiday park. However when making enquires I found out there’s no serviced pitches left!!. I thought it would be ok, but the more I consider everything, we do really need a serviced pitch.

Can anyone recommend a holiday park possibly south of the UK.  We live in London and have two boys 11 and 14.

Many thanks

If you're after North Devon these might fit the bill:

Little Meadow, Ilfracombe (small site, lovely sea views)

Stowford Farm Meadows, Coombe Martin (larger site, indoor pool)

Warcombe Farm, Woolacombe (larger site)

Hi everyone thanks for the advice.

Sorry for not making myself clearer, we are camping for the first time in a tent, and yes I agree mrwurzal all we need is electric hook up. I had hoped to go to Ruda Holiday Park in Croyde Bay, as a very young boy I recalled going there and have fond memories of the place. As it’s the first time my wife and children have ever been camping I want to find a similar type of park near the sea.

Thanks

When are you looking to camp as I cannot see that in the first post, sorry!

You need a grass pitch with EHU.

Cofton Country Holidays in South Devon is really nice, so is Birchwood Tourist Park in Wareham, Dorset.

Cofton is closer to a beach, whereas Birchwood is next door to a forest, and Sandbanks is not far from it.

Good luck with your search.

You could try a little further West and venture into North Cornwall around Bude.  It may look further but if you go around via Exeter and the A30 it's actually a lot quicker to get here than to Ilfracombe/Croyde.

Obviously we would recommend Budemeadows, our reviews at http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=1462 , but other campsites are available
