Ocean Pitch Campsite

A campsite right beside Croyde Bay where the surf is the alarm clock and Biffen's Kitchen is reason enough to stay an extra night.

Ocean Pitch sits within touching distance of Croyde Bay, one of North Devon's finest surf beaches. The pitches look out over the ocean, and the South West Coast Path is accessible directly from the site. You're not just near the coast here: you're in it.

The site takes tents, campervans, and motorhomes (up to 7m), plus glamping pods, and the mix works because the place has a genuine community feel. Owners Lottie and Bass run it with real warmth, and the facilities are kept to a standard that rewards return visits: hot showers, a dedicated outdoor wetsuit rinse station, and the kind of small touches (free deodorant, ear buds in the washrooms) that tell you someone is actually paying attention.

On-site food is the other draw. Biffen's Kitchen has its own following, and the Waves and Waffles truck rounds out the offer. Surf hire is available on site, and the local bus service runs into town if you want to explore further. A kids' play area and on-site shop round out the practical side. No dogs are allowed.

Before you book

  • No caravans on the approach route: check access before setting off.
  • No dogs permitted on site.
Ocean Pitch earns its reputation through the combination of an unbeatable coastal position, genuinely caring hosts, and food on site that you'd seek out even if you weren't staying. One of North Devon's best.

Why it made the cut

  • Owner-run operation with notably warm, attentive hosting
  • Biffen's Kitchen and Waves and Waffles on site: two good reasons not to leave
