Family-friendly countryside site 30 minutes’ walk from Exmouth beach
A 25-minute drive from Crealy Adventure Park and 30 from Exeter
A few metres from a watersports centre and the river Exe

What do you picture when you think of your fantasy hols? If it’s beaches, stately houses and coastal walks through dinosaur country, then scurry over to Prattshayes Campsite (a green-field site 35 minutes’ drive from Exeter in Devon) to live your dream. Prattshayes Campsite is a top spot for venturing out around country and coast: three-mile-long Exmouth beach is a 30-minute walk from the site and it feeds into the Jurassic Coast at Orcombe Point 15 minutes down the beach. You can see more of the Devon coastline by picking up the 630-mile South West Coast Path at Exmouth beach, or following the Exe Estuary trail from Exmouth to Exeter and over to Dawlish. More of a water-based creature? Exmouth Watersports – where you can try out windsurfing, paddleboarding and kayaking on the river Exe – is very close, or you could stick to Exmouth beach for some swimming and basking. Back on site, reward yourself for all your hard work by firing up the barbecue, piling it high with calories (pick up supplies from Exmouth, less than 10 minutes’ drive away) and tuck in before heading over to the on-site bar to wash it all down. If you’d prefer to venture off site for your dinner, there are plenty of restaurants worth trying within 10 minutes.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Liked: Great communication, easy to find and lovely views. Easy walk to the gorgeous beach in about 15 minutes. We did get woken by construction noise from a site in the valley but I guess they won’t be there forever! We’ll be back.

Heidi C. Feb 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Liked: Decent good size pitches, well marked out . A pub at the top of the road , didn't visit as walked down to the beach within 20/ 25 minutes down the lane. Current facilities clean and showers hot. They are in the process of building a new shower block . I'm sure it will look great when completed. I believe their is a bar onsite but closed will have to check it out on my return.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Start your stay at Prattshayes Campsite by sticking close to site, as there’s loads nearby to keep you (and the whole fam) busy. Head into Exmouth for the Exmouth Museum, then venture a little further out for the World of Country Life park, Hawkridge Bird of Prey Centre, Bicton Park Botanical Gardens and the weird and wonderful 16-sided National Trust property A la Ronde, all less than 15 minutes’ drive from the site. A la Ronde whetting your appetite for history and stately piles? Fab Powderham Castle is just over half an hour from Prattshayes Campsite, and is open for tours and lots of special events. If that’s still not quite enough, the museums, underground passages and cathedral of Exeter (worth a visit for shopping and food too) are also a little over half an hour from the site. If you have kids in tow starting to protest about the walk down (centuries-old) memory lane, there’s oodles nearby to get them back on side… Start 20 minutes away with some go-karting to blow off steam, get their adrenaline pumping on the rides at Crealy Adventure Park (25 minutes), then pile them into the car for a jaunt to Paignton Zoo, less than an hour away.
