We take great care in allocating pitches to satisfy all requirements – please talk to reception when booking and we will do our best to accommodate your requests.
We welcome guests with touring caravans, motorhomes, tents, trailer tents and folding campers. We are able to accommodate R/V’s and American-style motorhomes, but these spaces are limited and early booking is advised. Click here to visit the tariffs page for more details. We are located just off the A3052 providing good access for all vehicles. There are two regular bus services – the Axe Valley Mini Travel 899 stops just outside Oakdown and travels between Seaton and Sidmouth and the Stagecoach 9/9a has a bus stop located a little way along the A3052.
Our park is a popular choice for those looking for top quality touring and camping in Devon. Our AA Platinum-graded site is home to thousands of trees and shrubs and the pitches are level, closely mown and very generous in size with parking alongside your accommodation. We have non-serviced pitches, ideal for camping, serviced pitches with electrical hook-up and three of our spacious groves have super-serviced pitches with water, grey waste and electrical hook-up.
Oakdown is an ideal location for exploring our beautiful surroundings, visiting the Jurassic coast and experiencing many of our local attractions and festivals.
For safety’s sake we do not allow the use of firepits, bicycles, skateboards or flying of kites on the Park. If you would like to BBQ and need fire bricks, to protect the grass, please talk to reception.

Glamping in Devon
Looking for something a little different? Why not enjoy glamping in South Devon at Oakdown — one of the most peaceful camping and caravan sites in South Devon.
For a truly unique holiday experience, book a stay in one of our Shepherd’s Huts – these are pet free and sleep four.
The two Shepherd’s Huts, nestled into our Glamping Grove, are fitted in the same manner but are individually decorated making them two different experiences. They are equipped with tv/dvd, sofa and electric fire, comfy double bed (made up), sofa bed, mood lighting, breakfast bar, fridge, toaster, kettle and microwave. Outside you have the benefit of a breakfast table, picnic bench, two deckchairs and a chiminea BBQ – just bring the coals and the burgers!
Within the Shire we have other glamping accommodation. If you love camping but want a holiday, without the hassle of pitching, then our well equipped Barrel Pods and the slightly larger Premier Pods are the perfect answer! They are fully insulated and double glazed and outside have the benefit of picnic benches and a couple of deck chairs for lounging. All pods sleep four guests and are dog friendly – so no kennel expenses. They both have a double bed, two single beds, fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave. They offer lighting, heating & a double socket for real camping luxury!

Dog-Friendly Caravan & Camping Site in Devon
At Oakdown, we know your dog is part of the family. That’s why we created Clean Paws – our bespoke dog wash facility designed for guests staying at our dog-friendly caravan and camping site in South Devon. It’s fully equipped with a dog bath, hot water shower, and professional dog hair dryer, so your four-legged friend can enjoy a little luxury during their holiday.
The lighting in the hut is solar powered, and the spa is open all day. Built with sustainability in mind, it uses recycled materials from our site and local suppliers, helping to reduce our carbon footprint.
Best of all, the Clean Paws dog spa is completely free for guests staying at Oakdown. Dog shampoo is also available to purchase from our on-site shop.
Oak Mead Shop/Café
This amazing shop/café located in an impressive lodge is well stocked, managed and run by Jim and his team. They serve a comprehensive range of local foods and of course the essentials such as bread, milk, eggs, bacon, croissants, breakfast pastries, camping equipment, pocket money toys and so much more.
The café serves hot food to eat in and takeaway. There is a covered outdoor space to enjoy your holiday treats and to catch up with friends. There is a great selection which will please the whole family from homemade pizzas, chicken burgers, chips, paninis and barista coffees.
Safe & Secure Campsites in South Devon
Oakdown takes security very seriously. There is only one entrance into each side of the park, which is protected by a height restricting barrier between the hours of 10.30pm until 8.30am. The barrier restricts all vehicles over 2m or 6’6″ from arriving or leaving the park. This is something you need to be mindful of if your vehicle is above restricted height – we would only open the security barriers out of hours in an emergency situation.
Both storage area gates are padlocked at night and have infra red beams, which if breached will set off the alarm system. With regards to keeping your property as secure as possible we have a fully comprehensive and discreet CCTV system – which also covers the car park.
Throughout twilight hours the park is lit by low level lighting for your safe passage to amenities.
We always have a duty warden on site who can be easily contacted in the case of emergencies – 24 hours a day.
