UK England South West England Devon Croyde

Stunning views over Croyde Bay – the beach is a stone's throw away

Thinking of Devon often evokes sepia-toned scenes of cream teas, chocolate-box cottages and rambling on wild Exmoor. Yet this genteel image of the county is only as true as you make it round these parts. Sure, there’s the traditional Devonian charm of sleepy village Georgeham; not to mention the typical seaside ‘candy-floss ‘n’ kiss-me-quick’ chic of the family resorts at Woolacombe. But if you’ve descended upon the North Devon coast with tent on back, board under arm and adventure on your mind, you’ve come to the right place – for Croyde Bay is undoubtedly England’s surf capital.

Acres of sand, pounding surf, and bronzed lifeguards... welcome to the Gold Coast. It may be a tad cooler than the Aussie version but, more importantly, it is much nearer for us Poms. Okay, so our cousins down under might enjoy near perma-sunny skies, but on an early summer morning, with the breeze just right, we’d take Croyde over Byron Bay any day of the week. With its lush green hills ravining down to blustery expanses of open beach, there’s no disputing the beauty of Croyde Bay. This wide sweep of dune-backed sand flanked by the finest field-green North Devon hills is the closest thing you’ll find to an Aussie surf beach in this part of the world, gifting awesome waves to pros and beginners alike.

Anyone lucky enough to secure a pitch at this long-running campsite will understand why owners Benny and Lou chose the name. As you drive here through a landscape dotted with campsites it’s not until you reach the very closest spot to the sea that this enviably elevated spot reveals itslef.For surfers, it’s ideal. Hours can pass as you scan the endless blue horizon for that elusive perfect wave. And from its priceless vantage point, Ocean Pitch is one of the few campsites in the area with direct beach views, meaning you can keep an eye on the surf from your, well, ‘ocean pitch’, and race down with your board when the waves are breaking. And if you’re not here for the surf, it’s just as great being able to wake up and see the ocean each morning while you cook your breakfast sausages. The stunning Croyde Bay provides a perfect canvas for this unparalleled campsite masterpiece, and the site is on the coastal path, so it’s easy to reach the neighbouring beaches on foot.

Croyde Bay also hosts the annual Oceanfest – a beach, sports and music festival in June. To see how it all began, visit the Museum of British Surfing in Braunton. Here you’ll find a detailed history of the long board in our native waters, including sketches of Hawaiian surfers by Captain Cook’s crew, airbrushed surf art on early boards and photos of the locals riding the waves on wooden planks in the 1920s. You may also be surprised to learn that Devon’s most famous daughter, none other than Agatha Christie, was an early surf pioneer who mastered the art of stand-up surfing in Waikiki. Horse riding on Croyde beach is a must-do experience, whether a leisurely beach trot or epic country trek, exploring Croyde on horseback is a great way to soak up the atmosphere. The family- run, pretention-free Roylands Riding Holidays is based in central Croyde and welcome experienced riders and first-timers all year round. Discover the area on two wheels by hopping on the Tarka Trail and exploring the beautiful coast and countryside. Bikes can be hired from Tarka Trail Cycle Hire (01271 813339) in Braunton.

Food & Drink

There's on-site catering from Biffen's Kitchen, a suitably surf-inspired street food truck. Scoff a Devon cream tea at Centery Farm (01271 879603). The Thatch (01271 890349) pub is a lively surfers’ hangout with decent food. The Blue Groove (01271 890111) combines laid-back beach-bum vibe with trippy artwork and an internationally eclectic menu that includes Thai curries, Mexican pancakes and Japanese noodles. In the village of Georgeham, just inland, try the food and real ales at The Rock (01271 890322), where they do a great Sunday lunch and serve lunch and dinner daily in a light, bright conservatory. For some of the best fish and chips you’re likely to have on the North Devon coast, go to Squires Fish (01271 815533) in neighbouring Braunton. They’ve been frying the freshest Devon-caught fish here since 1969 and the stylish 2-floor restaurant attracts many celebrity admirers, not least Rick Stein. Find out more about organic farming and conservation at the dairy at West Hill Farm (01271 815477) and taste their wares. You can buy cold drinks and chocolate bars onsite, plush they have a cool retro slush puppy machine! Ivan's cool split screen, coffee-serving campervan also parks up in the peak season.

Nice campsite!

Our first time camping in our new campervan and we chose the 24 hour weather window on the last night of the season. Friendly helpful staff. Nice sized pitch with wonderful views. Road is very quiet so campsite is peaceful. Toilet block very clean and lovely hot showers. Easy walk into Croyde, stunning walk along coastal path round Baggy Point into Woolacombe Bay. Biffen's Kitchen on site is a true gem - had a very tasty Katsu Curry.

Wow!!

This was the first stop on my first ever solo camping trip to the south! And the views were breathtaking! The staff were so friendly and welcoming, helped with all queries I had. Great value for money and well worth the 200 mile drive!!! Close to so many amazing views, in the two days I stayed I managed to walk the south west coastal path in both directions with the trial stating within minuets of leaving the campsite!! Wonderful facilities which are well looked after and have a beach hut touch to them. The only regret I have is not purchasing one of the ‘Ocean Pitch’ tshirts!! I have recommended to friends and family and hope to return one day!!

Lovely, well maintained site, helpful staff, stunning views

We spent two nights at Ocean Pitch in September. The site is small, friendly and very well maintained with clean toilet and shower facilities and good Covid safety measures in place. A short stroll from the beach and fabulous views from our van. Sadly missed Biffen's Kitchen, which was closed during our stay but what a great excuse to return - we definitely will!

Best campsite ever

This is the best surf campsite I've visited in ages. It is well layed out and thought through. Clean showers and bathroom and nice facilities to clean wetsuits etc. 3 minutes walk and you are at the beach. Biffins kitchen on site does the best breakfast. All the staff are really lively and accommodating. 100% will stay again

Excellent facilities, staff and location

We had a lovely few days at Ocean Pitch. The toilet and shower favilities were very clean. The location is excellent only 5 minutes walk to the beach. We've previously done more countryside camping than coastal camping so the pitches on this site were closer together than we were used to. It was a quiet site though so we slept well regardless. We'd happily go back and would recommend a stay.

Fabulous stay in a beautiful location

Ocean pitch is an amazing campsite and I can’t stress this enough. I can now see why it’s hard to get a booking here. The staff are wonderful and regularly chatted with my 4 children (11,8,9,5) and kept them entertained with stickers. The site location couldn’t be any better! A very short walk to the beach and small village, which had a selection of lovely pubs (I would recommend booking early in the summer). I am very much looking forward to returning next year.

This a great little site! Right next to the beach, you can hear the waves at night. The staff are brilliant, very attentive and helpful. So so clean! Hand sanitizer everywhere, reminders about social distancing and washing your hands thoroughly and the staff properly cleaned all the communal areas ( I even saw them wipe down the bin handles) I felt very safe here. Easy walk to Croyde town

Superb

My wife and our three children stayed here for a week‘s camping and it was wonderful. Incredible views of the bay and you can hear the sea as you drift off to sleep. The site is wonderfully small and the facilities are excellent - clean, safe and well maintained. We felt safe during this Covid-19 time and there was lots of hand san about and clear signage. Staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Biffin’s Kitchen is superb providing really tasty food most days. The feel is very chilled and friendly which was perfect. We also appreciated the no dogs rule. As a suggestion they could sell some basic essentials (milk, bread etc) so we don’t have to walk into town - but this takes nothing away from the beautiful location and experience. Highly recommended.

A little piece of Perfection

Wow ocean pitch campsite is a stunning campsite with views that are stunning in all weathers! The site itself is very clean and we visited when safety was paramount and we feel the site had prepared very well and maintained a very high standard during our stay. The team that run the site are outstanding, friendly, polite and very helpful. They are a credit to ocean pitch and not forgetting Biffens kitchen has an amazing chef on site that cooks beautiful fresh food which is delicious. We stayed on hard standing in a Motorhome with electrical hook up. There is lots to do walking, cycling, body boarding, surfing and the beach has amazing sunsets. We hope to return if we can get availability and wish the whole team all the best for the future as they make the campsite what it is.

A stunning campsite!

Not just a great location right by Croyde Bay, but a friendly and warm welcome, and attention to detail in all those things that make your stay easy and pleasurable, such as a fridge and freezer, charging and showers to get the sand out of wet suits. It really is as good as the photos, and that perfect combination of laid back and friendly but very well-run and well-organised. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you so much!

I cannot recommend this campsite enough!

I came across Ocean Pitch last year when searching for a campsite in the Croyde/Woolacombe area. I feel so fortunate that I found this place. I have returned multiple times with both family and friends and it has always been fantastic. Everyone who has visited has loved it and wanted to come back. There are so many returning customers that I'm starting to worry that it will be fully booked if I don't plan my weeks off early enough for next year! Croyde Bay itself is absolutely beautiful and this campsite is so close to the beach. The views are stunning. It is set on the coastal path with Baggy Point around a 20 minute walk away - the sunsets from here are amazing. The village is 10 minutes down the road. There are plenty of places to eat and a few shops to browse. There is also a local craft market open certain days during the week/weekend. The people who own and work at Ocean Pitch really make the difference - everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, you instantly feel welcome. There is always a really lovely mixture of campers of different ages from different locations. It is a great location for walking, surfing/bodyboarding, or just having a relaxing break by the beach. The facilities are really clean and well equipt. There are separate male and female toilets, showers and changing areas with a socket for hairdryers etc. The showers are always hot and there is no additional charge - this is much appreciated after being in the sea bodyboarding/surfing. You can hire wetsuits, bodyboards, surf boards and paddle boards on site which is really convenient. The staff are always happy to give advice and guidance.There is also a cold shower outside for rinsing off and cleaning your wetsuit. The pitches are flat and absolutely adequate for the tent size that they advise. There is a dish washing area with washing up liquid provided. There is also an outdoor table tennis table, enjoyed by both children and adults and a seating area by Biffin's Kitchen so you can sit outside and enjoy the food and views. Biffin's Kitchen is based on site and the food available at breakfast and dinner is incredible. Really delicious meat, vegetarian and vegan options with the evening cuisine theme changing on a daily basis. Beyond the amazing views, delicious food and great facilities, I think what really sets it apart is the lovely atmosphere that the owners have created. I cannot recommend this campsite enough!

Big Wednesday

The campsite was simple, unadorned, tasteful and everything in it showed a keen eye for subtle, understated details, like the satisfyingly woody toilet blocks painted in jolly washed-out seaside colors, and the main office with its fridge full of drinks, the handles on the rubbish bins, the small oil paintings in the toilet cubicles. The setting could not bettered, as one could see the waves from the tent and one fell asleep to the booming surf every night. The staff, were all young, but thoroughly professional, courteous, well-informed, relaxed without being careless, keen to please without being obsequious - nothing was too much for them - and they were always around when you needed them. There was also, helpfully, a funky food van serving delicious breakfasts and dinners for those of us too lazy to walk into town. In fact, there was really no need to go anywhere if one didn't want to, everything was there: the views, the facilities, the flowers, the beach, the food, the drink. Close to Paradise.

I worry about leaving too good a review about this campsite as it will end up being over run! But I have to give it credit where credit is due.

The site is in an absolutely beautiful place and everything you could need is contained in the site.

The staff are absolutely great and very accommodating. They obviously take a lot of pride in the sitw and the service. Would recommend to anyone especially surfers.

Spectacular beach view and the best bacon sarnie ever!!

What an incredible view of the beach from our campervan, which was only a 2 minute walk away. The site has a food hut which makes the most amazing breakfast sandwich, not to mention a delicious goat stew. All the staff are really professional and happy to help with anything. We had a little convo with the chef whilst he made our food and one of them even played a little bit of football with me and my brother. Great facilities on site, clean toilets and hot showers, which we well needed after Storm Hannah! Already planning the next trip with mum & dad...

Honestly. I’d go there again!!

A friendly and personal camping experience in the most ideal spot in Croyde. Nothing beats waking up and unzipping your tent to check the surf conditions. Great facilities, clean and hot showers, and very friendly staff. The owners are the epitome of cool. Working hard to ensure the campsite runs without a fault whilst keeping an eye on the surf for a late sundown session. If you like a campsite with a personal touch rather than the massive corporate sites then this is for you. Would love to stay again. Thanks!

Best beach camping

Just returned from three fantastic nights at Ocean Pitch. Can't recommend the site highly enough. Ben, Lou and their wonderful team run a very friendly site with amazing views of Croyde beach and excellent facilities. The cleanest campsite toilets I've ever seen along with constant hot showers and a cold outdoor shower for rinsing your wetsuits. Full wetsuit and board hire available from the site at reasonable prices. The team go out of their way to help you and are full of good advice about the local area. We will be back soon.

A warm welcome

I loved this site! Not only is it perfectly situated, a stones throw from the beach, with stunning views of the surf, the team who run the site are so warm, friendly and helpful. I was the only adult in my party of 4, the kids (ages 9-14) where about as helpful as a chocolate teaset when it came to pitching and packing up. But the staff, noting my muffled expletives as I flapped around under billowing canvas, pitched in to help! It's also spotlessly clean. The only possible improvement would be to raise and rotate the washing up station (and provide a shelter), so you could wash up without bending over if you're over 5'4" and watch the waves rolling in!!

Stunning

Just returned from ocean pitch - it's a little piece of heaven. Very chilled out, but with incredibly friendly and hard working staff. Great advice on surf and SUP equipment and a great location (so close to the beach) to boot!

We'll definitely be back!

1st class!!

Found this campsite through this website and we were not disappointed! We were travelling down to Devon and booked this on the way to check in on the night and what a really good surprise we had! From our arrival, the team were 1st class! Very welcoming and very chilled out but they also worked tirelessly to ensure that the site was imaculate and it was, but also to answer the many queries and requests from the guests. I received some great routes to go running which took me along some of north Devons finest views. We were also lucky enough to have the best pitch on the site, to which one it is? Well you will just have to go and find it for yourselves! Massive thanks for such a great time see you next year!!

Excellent surprise

We called here on an impromptu trip to North Devon and they were so accommodating. Superb facilities and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Our site was mobbed by seagulls whilst we were out surfing (our fault for leaving out some bread) and they stepped in and rescued our stuff! We left them a case of beer as a thanks. Honestly one of the best sites I have stayed in. Location, staff, facilities and setting are perfect!!!

Brilliant

We went during the gold coast festival when it was really busy and even then the facilities were clean and the staff were really friendly and nice. It's got a really nice relaxed atmosphere, I'd definitely book it again.
