About Freshwell Camping
This site is a traditional tent-only campsite, where you can pitch your tent in the location of your choice. The main field looks over the whole of Croyde Bay, from the Ruda Holiday Park side of the bay. The campsite is only a two minute walk from the entrance to the beach and a 15 minute walk to Croyde village where you can find a number of pubs and restaurants for food and drink. There is no minimum stay for camping and the site is flexible regarding pitch bookings. So if you wish to stay an extra day because the weather is too good to leave, that's no problem. When it comes to a taste of all things glam by the seaside, you have the choice of a chic bell tent or a glamping hut for two.
Open from 1st May to early September
The site offers limited but reliable set of facilities to suit small groups and families. The showers and toilets are checked and cleaned twice a day, along with a washing area for your cups and plates. There are also fresh water tubs for cleaning your wetsuits once out of the sea. Fires welcome in portable fire pits only. Good quality 3G signal on site and the option to charge gadgets.
You'll find cafés, pubs and restaurants within a 15 minute walk (the closest café is just 5 mins away) and a 10-15 minute drive takes you to supermarkets.
