After a long journey we received a very warm and cheerful welcome from Patrick and Cecilia. This is a lovely quiet and beautifully situated site. (Off peak) Toilets and showers clean. The water felt hot enough to me. The new block has under floor heating. The original block is dated now but is clean so not really a problem. The dog field is excellent. There are walks from the site into Sidmouth (but you might want to get a bus back alighting opposite the Donkey Sanctuary and returning via the fields, very pleasant) and down to pebble beach. However, the beach is down a lot of steps and I wouldn't like to do it with youngsters in tow and all their equipment. It is good that there is plenty of green space for children to play The downside is that whist the hardstanding pitches have water and grey waste drainage and are adequate in size they felt too close to neighbours for us. They are also quite slopey front to back but blocks are provided to help with levelling. Placed underneath the jockey wheel. We had a torrential downpour (not much owners can do about that.)However, I would really have appreciated some canopy over chemical waste point. I read a comment about the site being taken over by a huge leisure group. Whilst it is now owned by a company called Serenity I'm not sure it is a huge organisation. Hopefully the new owners may be able to invest in some improvements. We will certainly stay again if visiting Sidmouth. Thank you Patrick and Cecilia for your hospitality. …

It's so sad. I've been using this campsite with family since 1977. Now it's part of some huge leisure park group and the personal touch has completely gone, to the point of being pretty rude, and never answering the phone. Hugely overpriced for what it is too. I don't think we'll be back, despite happy memories over the decades.

We have been to Salcombe Regis Caravan and camping a few times over the years back when our Children were younger and now after 10 or so years later we decided to visit again. ****Important advice about your stay***** Please read the park rules, rules are rules and do not break them! Read them fully and be warned, if you step out of line with the park rules, you will be reprimanded and spoken to rudely and abruptly, without warning, without niceness , and to be honest very intimidating. We broke the rules by talking in a group of 6 people past 2230 on Saturday of the August Bank holiday weekend 2023, ( Im truly sorry to our neighbours who had to complain, apologies for the talking). So the actual time was 2238 when we got the banging on the side of the awning to be quiet, not face to face just through the canvas with a touch shining through. Then the final parting shot from the wardens, we were told there was a complaint the previous night as well, ‘Wham Bam’ have that! Well I’m sad we were not made aware of this in the day, there were a few nice interactions and conversations in the day when the wardens could have mentioned about the complaint and noise and ask us to keep it down at night, maybe if we had been made aware of the complaint, we could have made a concerted effort not to make noise, we would have gone to bed at the allocated time of 2230 as stated in the park rules. (I know, I know it just means no noise after 2230, not bed time or does it)? Being a Bank holiday weekend we didn’t think talking would be and issue, but being such a quiet site after 2230 I guess noise does travel and we forgot as we were just talking and enjoying the conversation. I have read the past reviews there are a lot of *5 reviews along with all other number *reviews. I know the Park warden’s will have the final say with this review! I’m sure the reply from the wardens will have a full precise explanation of how we broke the rules and they are there for everyone to make the park a better environment for everyone and how good the wardens are and how we are the bad people and how rules are rules and shouldn’t be broken but I’d just like to say manors along with politeness do not cost anything we are all adults and not animals and we all deserve to be spoken to in a calm, polite manor, on that occasion in my opinion you should have let us know about the past night complaint and come and spoke to us in a calm polite manor you had plenty of opportunity, instead of being abrupt, rude and intimidating and shining your torch onto our awning, we have paid good money to stay here, politeness doesn’t cost anything!! Now there is a nice side to the wardens they are very helpful when they are asked for help in the day as you would expect I congratulate you for this and not charging us for our daughter who we thought was included in our booking (probably our fault and our error when booked) but turns out she wasn’t included, now we were more than happy to pay for her but the wardens said we didn’t need to pay which was nice gesture thank you , so it was a shock to witness these wardens speak to us in this manor, it was uncalled for in this tone of voice. What a shame that one incident really was a shock and made us on edge the rest of our holiday. I do not ever want to be made to feel like that again and being spoken to in that manor was not called for, we will not be returning!…

Thank you for your review. Due to the nature of your comments, we felt it necessary to carry out an investigation and comment as follows: We take the safety of all our guests seriously and have a duty of care to ensure all guests can enjoy the park. Upon arrival and booking all our guests (yourselves included) are sent the following attachments: Booking Confirmation, Park Rules, Site Information, Site Map and Terms & Conditions. As clearly stated in our park rules and our booking terms and conditions: We are a family site and respectfully request that noise is kept to reasonable levels after 8:00pm. We expect the site to be quiet after 10:30pm and before 09:00am the following morning in order to maintain the quiet enjoyment of the site by other guests. We kindly ask guests to refrain from shouting/screaming and the playing of loud music after 8:00pm. Unfortunately, we had received a complaint from one of our guests to advise there was loud noise from your pitch circa 23.45pm the previous night. The following evening the wardens were carrying out their nightly patrol circa 22.30pm and your pitch was very loud, the wardens politely requested you to lower the noise, as to not disturb other guests. Unfortunately during this request you chose to remain inside your awning and argued with our on site wardens, something which is not suitable behavior on our site and is clearly stated within the park rules and terms and conditions which you agree to at the time of booking. Our wardens have a duty of care, and must comply with the park regulations and park rules as per our council instructed site licence, therefore we do take this seriously and comply with all requirements set upon us as a holiday park. We apologise if our enforcement of our rules caused an inconvenience or appeared rude to yourselves but we have a duty to comply.

A lovely peaceful campsite in beautiful East Devon. The owners were very welcoming. John ( I believe his name is) could not have been more helpful. The facilities were clean and well maintained and the site was impeccable. Very highly recommended!

First stay at this site after looking at several in the area. Very warm welcome when we entered Reception and shown straight to our pitch. Explained how we needed to pitch our tents and very pleased with the pitches we had booked online. We managed to get one of the several benches that are on site to use outside our tents. Pitches are a good size and a very wide open field. Both shower blocks were clean and tidy and lots of hot water. Even made use of the putting near Reception a couple of times. Loved the fact a Pizza van was there on Friday night and would be lovely to see something on a Saturday night as saves cooking :) Lovely quite site and was great to hear the horse and donkeys from the adjoining fields. One downside is people with dogs didn't seem to use the dog walking area and just walked them round the field which is not nice is if you have to pitch a tent on that pitch later but not sites fault people should know and use this. We will be back …

We stayed here a few years ago the place has new owners. They made us very welcome .The pitches are a good size ours was with a sea view. All the hot water is very hot including the showers washing up and in the toilets. The site is very clean and well maintained.

We have camped in our VW van for many years but never have we encountered the situation we found ourselves in at Salcombe Regis . Positives :a beautiful well kept ,extremely clean campsite, with lovely walks from the campsite. Negatives: rude, intimidating with threatening behaviour park warden man. We arrived and was greeted by friendly staff , we had lots of banter and everything seemed as it should be on a lovely camping site. Later that evening the same member of staff at the washing up point, said you parked wrong way on the pitch, I could make you move and I could remove you from site. There should be a vehicle between pitches, for a fire break my partner said , sorry I didn’t realise, the staff member then said your partner thought he knew it all from the minute he got here, to which I asked what do you mean, at this point my partner had the sensible idea to walk away from the heated discussion. The park warden then walked towards me at pace right to my face, and said what did he say. I felt very intimated and frightened by his behaviour, reading your park rules it states ‘ to act in a courteous and considerate manner’ . To add insult the rules changed the next day when a tent was allowed to pitch right next to an awning of a caravan as long as it was 3 meters away. With no vehicle between as a fire break. We were at least 5 meters away from our neighbours awning. We won’t be returning, not while that particular park warden is working there. …

Thank you for your review. Due to the nature of your comments we felt it necessary to carry out an investigation and comment as follows: We take the safety of all our guests seriously and have a duty of care to ensure all guests can enjoy the park. This entails the pitching up of guests in a safe manner to ensure the compliance of our park rules and terms and conditions. Upon arrival and booking all of our guests (yourselves included) are sent the following attachments: Booking Confirmation, Park Rules, Site Information, Site Map and Terms & Conditions. With regards to pitching up it states within our terms and conditions under section 54, 55 and 59 the following: 54. When shown to your pitch, please take note of the instructions given by the Warden. 55. We reserve the right to move any oversized tents to an alternative pitch in the interest of FIRE SAFETY. 59. Any tent incorrectly pitched and encroaching their neighbour’s space will be asked to move it. This includes guy ropes and vehicles. If in Doubt, ask a warden before setting up. Upon arrival guests (yourself included) are shown to their pitch by the wardens, upon which guests are advised on the appropriate way to pitch up, with the habitation door to the right, followed with any awnings. Unfortunately you had set up your pitch with your habitation door to the left, followed by your awning, meaning your set up was encroaching the neighbouring pitch. This was different to how your were instructed to set up when being shown to your pitch. You were politely requested to change the set up to the correct way as originally instructed. You had advised you would alter your set up the following morning, however this did not take place. Our wardens do have a duty of care, and must comply with fire safety regulations and park rules as per our council instructed site licence, therefore we do take this seriously and comply with all requirements set upon us as a holiday park. We apologise if our enforcement of our rules caused an inconvenience or appeared rude to yourselves but we have a duty to comply. Salcombe Regis Camping and Caravan Park is a park for all to enjoy in a safe manner.

Very well kept site with friendly staff. Good location for a walk into Sidmouth although best to get a taxi back as it's a strenuous uphill walk back - around 40 minutes. Spotless facilities. Shop isn't really a shop, just a chiller cabinet with soft drinks and an ice cream freezer. No views from pitches - overall a good site but a bit bland.

We have just returned from a lovely stay at Salcombe Regis campsite in our tent. We have visited there a few times over the years. We were welcomed by a very friendly and helpful Patrick who told us all we needed to know and then came over to say hello and check we had everything we needed. The view from our pitch was stunning and the whole campsite is well maintained, well equipped with clean bathroom/shower areas. There is also a really nice big enclosed dog walking area. The staff we met were all friendly and the site had a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We will certainly be back soon!

We have just returned after a week long holiday on this lovely camping and caravan park. We are a family of 5 and camped with friends and had a fantastic time. The campsite is so spacious and safe for children to play and for everybody to have a fantastic break from reality. All the site staff were so friendly and cheerful and were a great help when I had to call the RAC out to my car. The showers and toilet blocks were spotless the whole week. All in all, a truly lovely place with equally as lovely people looking after it. We will be back in the future for sure.
