About Freshwell Camping
Freshwell Camping sits on a gentle hillside barely two minutes' walk from Croyde Beach, with stunning views over the bay and National Trust-owned Baggy Point. The atmosphere here is relaxed and free-spirited — expect campfires crackling in the evenings, occasional live music drifting across the field, and good quality food and drink available on site. Facilities are clean and functional, including warm showers, though there's no WiFi or motorhome waste disposal, keeping things purposefully low-key.
Staff are notably friendly and helpful, offering solid local guidance to families and groups wanting to explore Devon's surf beaches and coastal paths. It's a sociable, unpretentious spot that captures the best of Croyde's laid-back summer vibe, though note that dogs aren't permitted.

What visitors say
Hands down best camp site. We originally was going to stay here for 1 night but ended up staying 4 nights. It’s well equipped with hot showers, clean toilets and all the surf gear you need. Staff are super friendly and helpful and me and my partner loved staying here. The beach is just a short walk away so easy access to surf. We had some of the best surfs here too. 10/10 we will be back! Thank you ✨✨✨

Just had an amazing 5 nights at Freshwell . Such a super chilled site but that doesn't take away from how hard the staff work at keeping the place clean and tidy and so friendly too. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly, nice washing up area too. Bar and food available some nights. Super close to the beach and walks and the site has a resident hare too - very entertaining. Thanks to you all for a super nice few days.

Dream location, chilled vibes campsite (rock up and park where you like as there are no marked pitches). Decent hot showers and a short walk to the beach.
