  • Spotless amenities including wetroom showers and baths
  • Adults-only site with licensed shop selling local produce
Want to explore south Devon in any season? With scenic views of Salcombe and the countryside towards Dartmoor – but close to a busy market town with shops, restaurants, pubs and takeaways, which can be accessed via an inland footpath or a bus which stops at the entrance of your site? Take a trip to the traditional Parkland Caravan and Camping Site in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a mile from the market town of Kingsbridge: this level, well-drained site in mature grounds is surrounded by natural hedgerows that are home to lots of wildlife to spy. Parkland has high standards all round, with heated and spotlessly clean hotel-style amenities including individual wetroom showers with basins and toilets and access to baths. Hot water is free to use and is heated by solar panels: Parkland is a green site with energy-saving lighting and has a strong recycling and waste disposal ethos. Other facilities on site include a dishwashing area and metered laundry room. For food, a pub is less than a mile away in Churchstow dishing up good cider and reasonably priced meals, with other eatery options in the nearby villages of Bantham and Thurlestone as well as Kingsbridge. If you’re getting the other half to cook for you, well done… and there's an on-site shop with fresh local produce and everyday essentials as well as local crafts, camping essentials and beach goods.

Liked: We stayed on a luxury pitch. One of 3. With electric hook up water all within your space, of a gravel park for your van a lawn area of a good size including a small rotary line with picnic bench and table. And had our own key to a personal bath room, 1 of 3 rooms.each one private use, Ours had a bath, shower, toilet, and sink,along with complimentary shower gels shampoo and body cream.underfloor heating. Which was adjacent to our pitch.included a washing machine,dishwasher,fridge freezer. The rooms were cleaned each day and restocked.spotlessly clean.The site itself was well laid out . It has a shop which has so much in I loved looking around everything was thought of. Very good bus service stops on the drive at the front,or across the road depending where your going. Thank you James and Tracey.you keep a well kept site with extra touches which was appreciated,we loved it.and would recommend others to try.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch (large)

Liked: Large, level and sheltered plot with hardstanding and tarred access right on to it… necessary on a wet and very windy afternoon! Owners were very helpful and contacted us to make sure we would be able to access our pitch in case we arrived late. Views of fields all around.Plenty of hot water in showers and washbasins; clean and pleasant individual units of showers and toilets. Easy to find and walkable to nearest town of Kingsbridge. We spent a lovely New Year’s Eve seeing a film followed by an excellent Indian meal from the restaurant next door to the cinema, and walked back to campsite.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel pitch (deluxe, private bathroom amenities, XL)

Liked: The Site is nicely laid out and our particular pitch was in a lovely location with 2 other pitches. The welcome we received from James was great and he explained everything to us before we settled into our pitch. The amenities with the pitch were very impressive with our own shower and toilet and the added bonus of a small kitchen area that was very well equipped. The shower room was as good as you would find in any good hotel very clean and well equipped. The site shop was probably the most well stock site shop ive ever come across and you were trusted to purchase your items and put the money in the till. Which definitely unusual but added to the overall feel of the site. Our only disappointment was the fact that Storm Gerritt hit and we had to abandon our break. But we have already booked another visit earlier next year. I would highly recommend this site for the attention to detail that makes the stay just that little bit more special.

Disliked: I can think of anything that we disliked

Local attractions

First up, Kingsbridge: the town is a mile away from Parkland, with two footpaths running from the park so you don't need to tramp the main roads. If you’re getting the bus, a stop is at the Parkland entrance; if you’re driving, there are several places to park including at the Quayside where there are markets, concerts and events throughout the year. Next, Salcombe, Devon’s most southerly town and accessible by bus from Kingsbridge. It's famed for its ice cream – try the rum and raisin – and you can also try boating and watersports from here, with tuition available for the uninitiated. Both Salcombe and Kingsbridge are in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with two National Nature Reserves, heaps of walks and trails, and several towns and villages including Dartmouth and Bigbury-on-Sea – on the coast above the biggest sandy beach in south Devon and with access to the tiny Burgh Island where Hercule Poirot went after baddies. Closer to home for sand fans is Bantham, the closest beach to Parkland and a serene spot for surfing, wildlife spotting among the dunes or slathering on the suntan lotion.
