About Parkland Caravan and Camping Site

You'll find various pitch types for camping and touring over three acres of level, mature landscaped grounds with very good drainage at Parkland. The site is surrounded by natural hedgerows, a haven for wildlife, looking out over Salcombe. Just off the A381, there's easy access to the rest of the surrounding area. Tents, caravans, motorhomes and RVs are all welcome, along with glamping options. Well established, the park has been a base for campers since 1971 - in fact the owner's grandparents started the first site in the South Hams area, and it's been going strong ever since! Treat yourself to super pitches, with fully serviced connections and 16 amp electric, across grass and hardstanding or upgrade to a deluxe pitch with a private washroom. Great for nature lovers, this is a place where primrose and stitchwort flourish in pretty hedgerows, seasonal flower beds are carefully grown and resident wildlife often visits. Stay in the cosy glamping pods, equipped with a double bed, seating area and kitchen. One of the pod types has an ensuite toilet. There are shared facilities nearby available for all the pods. Try a couple's break in Estuary View, an attractive shepherd's hut with a double bed, sofa, radio and TV - and it's nice and warm thanks to central heating. Just a few steps from the hut is your private shower, toilet and a mini kitchen with a dining area. Sorry, no dogs allowed.

The site is open all year with the exception of Estuary view and the fully serviced grass pitches which open in April

A note from the site themselves...

Established in 1971, I have been running the site whilst living here too. Camping is part of the family heritage, with my great grandparents starting the first campsite in the South Hams area. We pride ourselves on this and strive to provide guests with an authentic, traditional yet modern camping or touring holiday.

We've now diversified to include glamping and more modern facilities, along with pitches with private washrooms - not sure what my Grandfather would make of these changes, but hopefully you'll enjoy them!

Small Tent - Fully Serviced Grass PitchesAug 2024

This has to be one of the best campsites we have ever stayed at. The owners seemed to have thought of every comfort that campers would need. We loved the individual bathrooms which enabled so much privacy. They were modern and very clean. Added bonus was the moo lounge with complimentary tea and coffee facilities. As the evenings were cooler we sat in there in the evenings to watch TV. The use of the onsite shop which was 24 hours and well stocked. Pitches were a good size and fenced off for privacy. Definitely would stay here again.

Motorhome - Fully Serviced Grass PitchesAug 2024

Spotless site, lovely shower rooms and even a bath if you wanted, hairdryer and straighteners. Honesty shop well stocked. Hosts were very helpful. Nice walk through fields into Kingsbridge but catch the bus on the way back up hill, bus stops outside camp site but not very frequent on a Sunday and hard to get hold of a taxi. Need a vehicle to explore further.
