Just had a three night stay on this lovely site which was recommended to us by our friends who are locals. From the impressive reception area and slick booking in procedure on arrival, the lovely shop & cafe also the amenities block all were first class.
A couple of niggles which we found not to our liking were:
1. The traffic noise when pitched on Oak Row was annoying first thing in the morning and early evening.
2. We only found one grey and black waste disposal area which was a fair walk for someone of limited mobility (if there were others then we were not told of them).
3. Finally and this is not directly aimed at the site owners, but the food we purchased from the visiting fish & chip van we found to be of a poor standard.
Finally we always ask this question, would we stay there again and the answer most certainly is YES but would ask to be pitched away from the road.

A lovely well located site with excellent full service facilities and a super on site cafe and shop and a playarea for the kids. Location was great - about a 10 min drive from Sidmouth and also close to Seaton and other seaside towns. We also cycled to the Donkey Sanctuary. Would certainly recommend.

Stumbled across this campsite via UKCampsite and it fitted in with where I was intending to go so booked it. The staff couldn’t be more friendly, from first ringing and making the booking, right through to saying goodbye they were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. A warm welcome was followed by a quick tour of the site whilst being shown to our pitch. The amenities block has everything you can think of from single toilets to a full disabled and family room complete with bath! Freezer, washing up facilities, laundry and ironing facilities available. Big play park for kids. It’s quiet at night, and all pitches are within small groves so you’re not overlooked by lots of other guests. The only negative for me was the distance to the toilet block from our pitch, a 3 minute walk when timed. Not much to the average person but as someone with reduced mobility and chronic fatigue it made trips to the loo in the night somewhat difficult. Undoubtedly this could easily be resolved by asking for a pitch close to the loo on booking ( we did but maybe didn’t discuss our needs enough). Absolutely no complaints otherwise, a great site and well worth a visit.

Fantastic campsite, we felt we were very spoilt with amenities compared to some campsites we had visited over the summer. Pitch sizes were plenty big enough and flat. Staff always so helpful and accommodating. The showers were always hot and we took full advantage of the family bathroom and used The bath a couple of times for The kids. The electric hook up point was easy to access and so to was the water. The washing up/kitchen room was great as we were able to store our stuff in the freezer and an added bonus of a microwave if needed. The children loved the play area. The shop was well stocked and the cafe on site served the best cream teas. We didn't have to cook 1 night as the campsite has a fish and chip van. Perfect! Can not fault this site at all will definitely return. Seaton Jurassic is definitely worth a visit if you have children. And don't forget the donkey sanctuary! You can even hear them from the tent at night.

We have just begun using a seasonal pitch at Oakdown.
This is our first time owning a caravan and having a seasonal pitch. We've previously been tenters!
Such a lovely quiet site. Considering there are also a number of lodges on the site it doesn't feel like a huge site.
We are on the main site, rather than the adjacent field across the road where the café and golf course is situated.
The toilet block is excellent and always clean. There are only 3 showers in that block but never had to queue. Not sure what it would be like in the summer holidays but the site was fairly busy due to the good weather.
There is a family bathroom which for £1 you get 15 mins of hot water, which if you've got small children like us is worth it. This has a bath and separate shower cubicle, which for £1 you could wash the whole family!
The café is brilliant and very reasonable we thought, you get discount if staying on the site.
The children's play park we used was excellent. They have a great mix of equipment for older and younger children, often we go to places and the play equipment isn't suitable for our 2 year old so this was a major draw for us choosing the site.
The only place nearby we have visited so far is Sidmouth, which is a pebble beach unless the tide is out, the beach was quite quiet as there are a lot of older people who seem to visit Sidmouth as it is very flat when you are in the town and by the beach.

Stayed here for 2 weeks in September 2016, had wonderful time. Site was all we could ask for, well kept and toilet block very clean. Dog walk up to Donkey Sanctuary was lovely - poo bags provided if you had forgotten your own. Shop was good and fish and chip van called to site. Golf available if that's your thing. Wardens always helpful. We plan to return in the summer - its a favourite location.

What a great site this is,
We've been here twice now and will return for a third.
It's really quiet and peaceful, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful too, on one occasion we were approached by a member of staff who asked if there was anything we'd like help with, after a brief chat I suggested that the shower curtains were a bit too close as there wasn't much room to get dried, much to my surprise the next day I went for a shower the curtain had been moved back!
We stayed on the part across the road from the main site and has the golf course attached, although it was a little bland compared to the main area it was still very nice, pitches are of astro turf, level and big enough for a car, caravan and awning.
There's a little cafe there that does coffee, tea and cold snacks and is reasonably priced.
The walk to the donkey site is pleasant and walking around it is nice, you can often hear the comical donkey brays from the site which my 8 year old loved!
The surrounding area is lovely with plenty to see and do, the beaches are nice and I would recommend a trip to Beer.
All in all this is a great site (if slightly pricey) and for us well worth the long drive from Scotland to visit.

We were greeted by friendly staff at reception, (we stayed two nights in our campervan on Monday and again on the Thursday on our way back) staff will show you to your pitch. We were tucked away on pitch 20 Monday and 19 on Thursday large astro turf pitch there are also grass pitches with benches. it is flat and has plenty of space between in camper.
Amenities very clean and tidy, only 3 showers in the block though so some days you do have to wait or go into the main site and use those. We found it easier to shower in the evening. Washing up facilities were good plenty of hot waterms but it does get hot in there if every one washing up at same time.
There is a dog walk to the Donkey sanctuary well worth a visit and you can walk for miles.
There is a shuttle bus to sidmouth if needed. And a cafe on site that do fantastic flat white coffees and great pasties, also if you didn't want to cook in the morning a full English breakfast can got there, but can get busy especially at peak times.
There is a bit of road noise but we soon got used to it. And you can here donkeys eeaww day and into the night but surprisingly relaxing. There is a play area for children and a 9 hole golf course on site.
Overall a fantastic site and we will be visiting again and getting friends an family to visit to.

Modern facilities
Very quiet and peaceful
Well laid out
Well organised
We stayed on the astro turf pitches in beech grove - which are a great idea - especially considering the amount of rain they'd had in the week before we arrived.
Family rooms - although you have to pay - it's not much.
The friendly greeting and helpful, friendly staff, especially as we hadn't booked the astro turf pitches - but was offered one by the very friendly grounds keeper.
The play parks - there are two
The shop - well stocked and is a coffee shop also - could do with being open a wee bit later though.
The comfy TV room - comfortably decorated - rather than a hodge podge as you can sometimes find - proper thought had gone into it.
Met some lovely campers there also.
This campsite won aa campsite of the year 2015 after we booked it, it is a well run, family site. If you like quite organised sites rather than those that are a bit more laid back - then this is for you
