We like Ruda too, we even like the early evening entertainment for the kids these days (oh how we have changed !) - it's not as bad as haven in our experience .

We love Ruda for its location, and just tend to ignore the clubhouse as it's not really our thing!

I'll second Ruda - purely for location.  Really fabulous beach within 3 minutes walk - it's hubby's surfing beach (he was there yesterday!).  Surf school on the beach, lifeguarded, and also close walk to Croyde village and a few little shops.

Ideal location for exploring everything nearby (Saunton, Braunton, Woolacombe, Ilfracombe).

Another vote for Ruda  ... can't beat the location .. I posted a review from our week there this August which has a lot more detail

Agree it's a big site, but we too did not 'partake' of the club house/disco/bar/kids entertainment etc ...so you can just stick to the camping side of things and do not need to go near the main centre (apart from the shop which does AMAZING fresh croissants etc in the morning!)

That said, we may have been grateful for the big site amenities had the week been a total wash-out - that's why we went there ... so we had a back-up plan if the weather was totally pants!

But on the whole it was beach beach beach all the way, with surf lessons for our girls ... plan to go again next year and hope to find time to do some of the lovely coastal walks!

We loved the fact we could park the car and not get in it again until it was time to go home!
