A note from the site themselves...

Ocean Pitch is at the heart of our family life - working and living a stone's throw from the ever so beautiful Croyde Bay with outstanding views of the beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

Our goal was to always create a cosy, idyllic atmosphere where campers could return each season creating memories by the ocean!

Welcoming both families, couples and surfers alike, our campsite is small, but holds a special atmosphere where campers can relax and unwind after a day in the surf, on the beach or exploring the South West Coast path. What's more we have an award winning surf inspired street food van onsite (Biffen's Kitchen) to keep your appetite satisfied during your stay.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Medium Grass Pitch (Pitch 14)Sep 2024

The staff are excellent, really helpful and accommodating. I was greeted by a staff member with a northern accent (forgotten his name). He was so kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. He explained everything I needed to know.

Lovely stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean Pitch - courteous service, great location for surfing and clean, well-maintained facilities. Biffen's food was excellent! Water in the female showers could be a little hotter!
