Great family campsite, 5 minute walk from the beach, with plenty of close amenities.No power available for hook up to caravans but doesn't really affect the holiday as they let you charge you phones and battery packs in the office, and also let you freeze your cool packs on the freezer 👌Separate showers and toilets on site with sinks available to wash up.

The perfect campsite, great location with incredible views, v near the beach. The tents are well spread out, and unusually they let you choose your own pitch. Toilets, showers, recyling, etc all spotless and functional. We booked bell tents via airbnb, and tent pitches direct with Freshwells so our mixed group of families and kids were all happy. Lovely staff, everything was easy, lots of cafés and surf school a couple of minutes' walk. Having done caravans, cottages, and camping in Croyde I'd say this was the best option by miles.

We booked the Getaway at Freshwell last week to do exactly what it says on the tin. We had three blissful days to switch off from work and get amongst Devon’s Nature. The setting of the cabin is absolutely perfect with panoramic views across the beach, ocean and the contours of the surrounding hills. The cabin itself is a jewel inside with lots of lovely well thought out features connecting you to its surrounding area, although compact there is loads of cleverly planned space for storage.We watched the sun rise every morning with a cup of tea from our camping stove then headed over to the shower block to get ready for the day ahead. There are lots of sanitising posts for you to wash your hands before entering the area. WCs were always well stocked with loo paper and are regularly cleaned as are the showers. After a day’s hike around the coastline and beautiful landscapes we would then navigate our way back to the campsite via the pub for a cheeky half ; )For two nights we cooked dinner on the fire pit / BBQ with a glass of wine just in time to watch the sunset behind the hill and listen to the waves rolling in (total bliss) After the last logs of the evening had burnt out we then retired to the cabin and got cosy in the super comfy bed to read our books and finish the last of the wine. We turned the camping lights out and lay back to look up through the glass roof above us and let our eyes adjust to the dark. We watch the most magnificent mesmerising star constellations appear before us, real fodder for your dreams.The third day the weather got a little more wild, so we put on our water proofs and went walking around Morthoe, a recommendation by Mike one of the camp site owners. Again we saw some breath taking landscapes and wildlife made all the more dramatic with the weather closing in . On our way home we picked up some fish and chips and sat in the cabin looking out of our window watching the storm roll in and the surfers run towards it.We had a great time and fully feel like the reset button had been pressed , which is exactly what was wanted from our break. Mike and John are legends and are always around, happy to help with anything you might need.Fully recommended we will be back x : )

Best place we have been in north Devon. Toilets were constantly cleaned,! Noise levels were managed and a super friendly place to have your family. We will return!

For the love of God cut the grass! Simple site with new but basic facilities. Everything was clean which was a plus but even routine maintenance like cutting the grass in the camping field had been ignored which meant camping was boggy and difficult. How hard is it to cut the grass? Wouldn't return.Edit: appreciate the candid reply from the owner but but literally every other campsite in Croyde had managed to cut the grass that weekend with no adverse effects. Only Freshwell hadnt.
