We have been to this campsite as a family for many years and always get a lovely welcome from the owners Steve and Adele. The pitches are spacious and facilities are always clean and the campsite is so close to Croyde beach (and the Thatch pub which is out favourite). They allow dogs which meant we could take ours with us and then head to Croyde beach dunes or Putsborough beach where dogs are allowed. There are phone charging lockers on site for £1 a day as well as fridges and freezers for your ice blocks, a wetsuit shower and space to hang your wetsuits to dry. We always have a great stay here and look forward to coming back next year!

Just leaving this fab campsite in the centre of Croyde village, haven’t been for a couple of years, but still greeted like old friends by Steve & Adele, who are always so accommodating and around for information and advice. This smallish site is very friendly, peaceful, beautiful, very clean and so convenient for pubs, beach, shops and surf hire. What’s not to like? Oh yes…going home! 🥲

As first timers I just wanted to add my voice ++ family to the many 5 star reviews on this wonderful campsite***** Adele & Steve are the bestest of hosts creating a relaxed and warm family vibe right from the off… Listing the many positives would take ages just look to the reviews where fellow campers have said it over and over again…and as my now 2 adult kids said… a 'throwback' to the many happy days spent holidaying around Croyde. Big thanks! Adele & Steve Seeya soon Tony , Sam and hugs from Amyxx

First up, Steve and Adelle are the loveliest -and so welcoming and just always so delightful and helpful.We started staying at Orchard around 2016 I think. – We'd been coming to Croyde/North Dev for some time and stumbled across this whilst out in the village one year.We used to come for short stays at first, end of Summer/early Autumn – we've since now made it our main camping ground in Croyde and we visit usually 2 times a year. Minimum 5 nights but mostly a week each time.The location is perfect, but if the weather's not up to scratch you could almost roll down the hill straight into the Thatch 😆, but also, it's very well sheltered based on its location and surroundings. There are some leveled out pitches for tents and they have chocks for vans on the few slants. The pitch sizes are very generous – facilities are always clean and comfortable, and the view from the pitches of the village/valley is my absolute favourite. Short walk to the beach, and extremely short walk to the pubs/village. 😏They seem to know us well now, as we just can't keep away. ☺️ – AND, after a bit of a tent mishap on our most recent stay, they came to our rescue so we could stay and enjoy the rest of our week… They have lots of little well thought about bits too including freezers for your ice blocks, drying lines for your towels etc. Sockets in the shower hut for hair utensils (for the more glampy campers – 😏) and so on. Basics, but in my experience – the high end of basics. We absolutely love our stays here and as long as they carry on, we'll keep visiting… I honestly think if we move to North Devon (and we plan to) we'll still do a few camping weekends at this site for beachy/villagey weekends.I should have reviewed them sooner as we are always absolutely thrilled each time we have stayed here over the years.Love itJohn and Amanda

What a gem of a campsite! We have just returned home from a fab few days. The hosts could not make you feel more welcome, I have never known a campsite quite like it. Facilities are great, clean and plenty of hot water. Lockers for charging phones, freezer for ice blocks and a washing line area that is undercover. Lovely and small so not much noise after dark. Perfect location for everything Croyde has to offer. We will definitely be back.
