Kings Down Tail Caravan & Camping Park is a level, well-kept touring and camping park at Salcombe Regis, just outside Sidmouth in East Devon, on ground that was once a royal hunting ground. There are 120 pitches on hardstanding and grass, all of them level, taking caravans, motorhomes, trailer tents and tents, and the park also has glamping pods for anyone who wants to turn up without kit. Seasonal pitches and caravan storage are available too. Vicki and David Paget run the site with their family and live on site, which keeps things personal and easy to sort if you need a hand. The location is the strength, close to the Jurassic Coast and the Regency seaside town of Sidmouth, with unspoiled coast and countryside on the doorstep for walking. Dogs are welcome for a small nightly charge, and families are catered for with reduced rates for children. Non-electric pitches start from £23 a night for two adults and a car, with electric pitches from £30, based on 2026 prices. Kings Down Tail opens from 15 March to 15 November, so it suits spring-to-autumn trips. Book through the Kings Down Tail website or call the park on 01297 680313.
