 This is a pretty campsite in a great area for a holiday. Fab beaches all around.
The shower block was very clean but you do need to pay for your shower and washing up water. The showers are quite small with some cubicles having no hooks. The family room was a god send but again very little hooks or shelves to hang or place your stuff to stop it getting wet!
The campsite is lovely and quiet with clear quietening down at 10pm which is such a relief. The pitches were not that spacious, our guy lines were touching those of one of our neighbours. We changed our booking spec and had to pay the extra for having a tent longer than 6 metres, but were placed on the same pitch as previously booked.
I would book again as so lovely and quiet.

Just returned from 3 nights at Karageen. Site is well placed although road access is a bit narrow if taking motorhomes or caravans.
Big down side was the price. Wouldn't have been so bad if the showers and dish washing were free, but there was a minimum cost of 40p per shower and 20p for dish washing.
However, good walks along coast path and only 1 mile from Hope cove, which is gorgeous. We were lucky with the weather which was very sunny. All level grass pitches but on a sloped site which would have been difficult had it been wet.
Owner very friendly. Note: Will only take cash so don't expect to pay with card if you arrive on spec as we did.
Only one shower and toilet block so could be a long trek for some and busy at times if site is full.

We stayed here for 10 nights during July/Aug 2012. The campsite is lovely, with great views, facilities and really friendly owners.
The levels are quite flat, although the campsite itself is generally on a slope, we had plenty of flat room to pitch our tent though.
The bathrooms were new this year and are really nice, the family bathrooms made things so much easier with our 2 year old.
Owners are very friendly and approachable and ocme round each day to check on everyone.
Hope Cove is about a 20 min walk away and my husband and son were there at 6. 30 one morning when he woke up early, it was beautiful.
The only thing that would make it better would maybe be a small children's play area, a few swings and a slide, however there is lots of room for kids to play without getting in anyone's way.
Overall a great site, we will definitely be making a return visit in the next few years.

This is a beautiful campsite close to Hope Cove and South Milton Sands.
We visited over half term with friends and pitched in Divers Terrace, a secluded pair of pitches bounded by hedges, which was great.
Plus points:
- Level pitches with lots of hedges for shelter
- New shower block (showers 20p/min) with four showers and six wcs in each, plus one family and one disabled room.
- New washing up room / laundry room with three washers a dryer and an iron!
- Hot meals available from the main house each evening which was great for our first night.
Minus points
- Single track road with passing places leading up to it, which must be a nightmare with a caravan.
- For some reason the electric hook ups kept going off, which is a problem if you've got children watching a dvd at the time!
There's a lot to do in the immediate area come rain or shine. Kingsbridge has a small old-fashioned cinema and an Art cafe for rainy days, plus several lovely cafes and restaurants.
Despite being literally blown away I'd happily recommend this site. You can't blame the site for the weather!

NIce location and friendly welcome from owners. Pitches are terraced and reasonably flat, it seemed to drain well and believe me it needed to. Toilets we were close but a long walk if your in the bottom field, in fact people drove! they are newly updated and were clean and showers were hot. Agree with other feedback wash room hot water run out at peak times. Shop is well stocked and take away menu was excellent. Only negative was the weather and 70mph winds that caused us to leave early but that's camping in Britain.

Nice site and the owner is very friendly and helpful. The downside for us with our small caravan were the narrow lanes, reversing is not an option. We had a very nice pitch, level and reasonably private along a row of other vans and tents.
New washroom facilities and the washing up no longer has coin operation for hot water. Showers do! Downside, showers and wash up occasionally ran out of hot water. Various rumours of the tank run out or thermostat problems.
Also the electric was very unreliable in the evenings. Site owner said campers were running heaters but returning campers said it was always the same each year. Due to these issues we will not be returning to this site.
Value for money - not good when having to pay for showers which were unreliable on hot water or for an electric pitch where it cut out every evening at least 3 or 4 times.

Just returned from a very soggy Jubilee weekend at Karrageen. We'll definitely return as it would be stunning in good weather.
Owners worked very hard to keep the facilities clean in the wet weather. Campsite was draining well so still serviceable despite the days of heavy rain. We were still able to tow our folding camper out of the lower hollow with our front wheel drive car, but the owner had already offered to help with his 4X4 if needed.
Great campsite in a beautiful location. Full all weekend but still felt very spacious.
Brand new (or fully refurbished) toilet block inc. Family room with baby bath, washing machines etc.
Shop and take away on site.

My wife and I spent Easter week at Karrageen after seeing what a lovely location it enjoys.
The site was undergoing a toilet/shower block refurbishment at the time we were there but best part finished so not a problem. Only niggle was having to pay for the showers, something we have never entertained when choosing a site to stay at. The reason is because the water is spring fed, however I don't know how that warrants charging for showers.
The pitches are fairly level with good drainage, a good job as we had some heavy rain during our stay.
The shop/reception has a few basic items to get you by if needs be and also offers hot meals in the evening.
As has been mentioned by other reviews the sites electrics are really not up to scratch and resulted in the owner often coming round to see what appliances everyone was using. This became very annoying especially when the gentleman asked to see our kettle!
We lost power regularly in the evenings and the site was not even full.
For this reason we would not return here unless the electrics are upgraded.

Wow! What a fantastic site! Karrageen was just what we were looking for. My husband and I went with our 2 small children for a week in August and it is by far the best campsite we have been to.
Other nearby sites seemed really packed but you have your own space on levelled terraces here. This meant it was very peaceful but there were still lots of families nearby for our children to make friends with other children.
The site is really well run and the owner was helpful and friendly. The shop sells pretty much everything you would need including freshly baked croissants and pain au chocolate each morning!
The location is perfect to explore South Devon beaches. Hope Cove is great if you have small children and we also visited stunning beaches at Thurleson Sands and Bigbury on Sea.
Karrageen's toilets and showers were perhaps a bit tired but were kept very clean. The family shower room was really helpful when trying to shower 2 small children.
As a parent with young children I did not want a campsite with a kid's club or all of the expensive trappings some larger sites offer.
However, it would be good if they invested in a small play area-climbing frame, slide, swings etc.
All in all I would not hesitate to recommend Karrageen. We will definitely be going back.

We stayed for a short break at the end of July (without the kids this time!), during some lovely weather.
The campsite itself is situated towards the end of a long typical Devon road, ie. narrow, so perhaps not for the faint-hearted. Very beautiful surrounding countryside and a 20 minute walk down to the sea.
The site itself is on a slope but most of the pitches have been levelled so this did not appear to be an issue. Lots of landscaping makes it an attractive site, with some pitches having a view to the sea.
Our pitch (Number 2) was in a little wooded area with space for just two tents and was very tranquil.
It looks like a big site, but even when full there was probably half the number of pitches I have seen on other similar sized sites, so plenty of room.
There was a little shop at the farmhouse selling all essentials and also doing a nice hot-food takeaway.
The toilet block was adequate, with minimal queues for the showers even at peak times. Seemed mostly clean. The only niggle was the need for 20p pieces for the showers and any hot water for washing up, but this does mean that people don't spend hours in the shower, and a 4minute shower (40p) is actually plenty long enough.
I did not see any play areas for kids, but the kids that were on the site were having a nice time playing football (masses of space for this without bothering anybody) or just running around the site (again without bothering anybody).
The owners were very friendly and welcoming, and a first for us, actually came by on the day we were leaving to thank us for coming to stay.
Thoroughly recommend and will be back.
Hope Cove and Salcombe well worth a visit, but recommend using the Park and Ride if going to Salcombe as parking is a nightmare in the town itself.
