About this site

Freshwell Camping Croyde is a family-run tent and glamping site a two-minute walk from the entrance to Croyde Beach in North Devon, with full views of the bay from the field. Campers pitch where they like across open grass, and there are glamping bell tents and a hut for anyone who wants a bed rather than a groundsheet. Bookings go by group size, showers run hot and free around the clock, and there is wetsuit washing, drinking-water taps and free parking beside your pitch, but there are no electric hook-ups, so bring portable power. This is a surf-and-beach site squarely aimed at families and small groups; it takes small campervans but no caravans or full-size motorhomes, does not accept dogs other than guide dogs, and turns away all-under-18 and stag or hen groups. Open fires are not allowed, though fire pits are permitted, and an on-site food stall serves fresh breakfasts and dinners in season. Croyde village is a ten-minute walk for pubs, shops and surf hire, with Croyde Bay's waves right on the doorstep and Saunton Sands nearby. Reviewers return year after year for the beach views, the relaxed atmosphere and the friendly staff. Freshwell Camping Croyde opens for summer from 1 May to 13 September 2026, and pitches are booked online with a deposit. Come for the surf, not the mod cons.

Good to know

Are dogs allowed at Freshwell Camping Croyde?
No, Freshwell Camping does not accept dogs, other than guide dogs with their owners, for the safety of guests on the busy family site. The owners recommend Combas Farm, about five minutes' drive away near Putsborough Beach, which does take dogs. So plan alternative arrangements if you are travelling to Croyde with a dog.
Can I bring a caravan or motorhome to Freshwell Camping?
No, Freshwell Camping cannot accommodate caravans or full-size motorhomes. It does allow smaller campervans designed for travel and sleeping, so contact the site in advance to confirm your model. Otherwise it is a tent and glamping site, with bell tents and a hut available if you prefer not to bring your own tent.
Does Freshwell Camping have electric hook-ups?
No, there are no mains electric hook-ups at Freshwell Camping. The site has only limited charging facilities, so the owners recommend bringing portable power banks. Free hot showers run 24 hours, and there are drinking-water taps, wetsuit washing and a communal sink area, keeping the site simple but well suited to summer beach camping in Croyde.

Freshwell Camping Croyde opens for the summer season, with 2026 dates of 1 May to 13 September. There is no minimum stay, so you can book a single night or a longer holiday. Pitches are reserved online by group size with a deposit, with the balance payable on arrival at the site.
How close is Freshwell Camping to Croyde Beach?
