Golfers can pack their clubs and enjoy rural rounds between camping sessions, while the clubhouse doubles as a snack bar with extra showers and loos for campers. The flat, neatly kept pitching field offers electric hook-ups, and there's wifi if you need to share your scorecards. It's not all about the golf, though. Families find plenty to do nearby – fossil hunting along the coastline (ten minutes' drive), visits to The Donkey Sanctuary (five minutes), or beach days at Salcombe Regis and Seaton. The South West Coast Path sits close by for serious hikers, while Branscombe's traditional pubs and Budleigh Salterton's restaurant scene provide evening options. Dogs are welcome year-round, and the site happily hosts couples, families, and even single-sex or student groups looking for a relaxed, unpretentious Devon base. ## What's nearby - E3 Flight next door - Thorn Coachworks next door - Sid Valley Garage next door - Salcombe Regis Camping & Caravan Park 200m away Distances as the crow flies, via Google ## Good to know ### Accessibility - ✓Accessible parking - ✓Accessible entrance ### Payment - ✓Credit cards - ✓Debit cards - ✓Contactless Details via Google — worth confirming with the site before you travel, especially for access needs. ## Photos Photos via Google ## Can I bring...? ⛺ Tent pitches ✓ Yes ⚡ Electric 🚐 Caravans welcome ✕ No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome ✓ Yes ✨ Glamping available ✕ No 🛖 Lodges & statics ✕ No ## Pitch types - • Electric optional grass motorhome pitch - • Electric optional grass tent pitch Pitch details as listed by the booking provider — availability and exact pricing shown at checkout. ## Hook-up ⚡ Electric hook-up ✓ 🔌 EV charging ✕ ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers ✓ 📶 Free WiFi ✕ 🏊 Swimming pool ✕ 🛒 Onsite shop ✕ 🎠 Children's play area ✕ 🍖 BBQs allowed ✕ 🔥 Campfires allowed ✕ 🧺 Laundry ✕ 🎣 Fishing ✕ 🛁 Hot tub ✕ ♿ Accessible facilities ✕ 🅿️ Hardstanding pitches ✕ 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site ✕ Bar or club house On-site restaurant/cafe Free wifi Internet access Shower available Toilet block Washing-up area Wifi Family friendly Motorcycle friendly Single-sex groups welcome Student groups welcome Barbecues allowed Campfires allowed Dogs allowed all year Wild camping ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking — here's what delivers near this site. ### 🥡 Just Eat — 1 takeaway delivers to this postcode (EX10 0JH) Ma Bella Pizza ★ 5.0 · Pizza, Italian Checked 26 Aug 2026 — always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ### 🛵 Deliveroo — 1 restaurant nearby Budleigh Post Office & Mini Supermarket Checked 26 Aug 2026 — always confirm on [deliveroo.co.uk](https://deliveroo.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Lidl, Sidmouth 1.6 miles - Co-op, Sidmouth 1.9 miles - Sainsbury's 5.1 miles - Aldi, Seaton 5.9 miles - Tesco, Seaton 6 miles - Morrisons, Exeter 9.4 miles - Asda, Wellington 19.5 miles Straight-line distances — the drive will be longer.

Have attended twice and thoroughly enjoyed a lovely par 3 course. Yes, the fairways are clearly marked and the greens are a little rough, but the course is a lovely way to practice your short game at a very reasonable price. Will definitely visit again .. 3 months ago · via Google Will Farr ★★★★★ I love this place! Really lovely relaxed friendly atmosphere and a great place to come and work out how to hit golf balls without feeling self conscious. The driving range is rough and ready, and the balls are pretty grubby in the winter, but there is a tap and you can wash them yourself, if that's a concern to you. Most importantly, it's £1 for 20 balls! You can whack balls all day long, and it won't break the bank :) There is also an old car parked at the 200yd mark, and it is incredibly satisfying every time you hit it. I will try the 9 hole course when I've got better with the irons and won't ruin the course. Also, in the first week of August, they host AMAZING music acts at the wonderful Sidmouth Fringe Festival in their beautiful traditional wooden barn, and the sound quality is perfect. It's the perfect counter to mainstream rip-off festivals, and you should check it out! 5 months ago · via Google George Parris ★★★★★ Lovely little par 3 course, good value for money. Even with the greens a little rough, a very enjoyable 9 a month ago · via Google Hayden Woods ★★★★★ The greens are not very good however the driving range is excellent because the price of the balls are £1 for 20 which is good and cheap 4 months ago · via Google [More campsites in Sidmouth](https://staycation.co.uk/sidmouth/camping) ★ 3.6 (97 reviews) From £19 per night [Book on Pitchup](https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/England/South_West/Devon/Sidmouth/thorn-campsite/) [01395 579564](tel:01395579564) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Sidmouth **County** Devon **Dogs allowed** ❌ No (unconfirmed) **Electric hook-up** ✅ Yes **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C2RMQXW+3V 🏨 ### Prefer a hotel nearby?
