Sugar Park Campsite is a back to basics campsite above Beesands on the South Hams coast, a five minute walk from the beach and with wide views over Start Bay. It sits near Kingsbridge in South Devon, close to the fishing village of Beesands and within reach of Hallsands, Slapton Sands and Blackpool Sands. Facilities are deliberately simple, with two clean toilets in a brick block and cold drinking water taps around the site, but no showers and no electric hook ups, so this is one for campers happy to rough it a little for the sake of the sea views. Tents, campervans and caravans are all taken, though the ground sits on a slope, so most pitches lean slightly and the owners suggest bringing chocks for vehicles. Dogs, children and even the resident cows are part of the deal, which makes it relaxed and unfussy rather than polished. What stands out is the position, with sea views from nearly every pitch and the Cricket Inn and Britannia at the Beach seafood shack both a short walk down in the village. Sugar Park is open from April to the end of September and can close in very wet spells, so check availability with the campsite before travelling.
Does Sugar Park have showers and electric hook ups?
No, Sugar Park is a proper back to basics campsite with two clean toilets in a brick block and cold drinking water taps around the site, but no showers and no electric hook ups. Campers happy to keep things simple get sea views over Start Bay in return.
Are dogs allowed at Sugar Park Campsite?
Yes, dogs are welcome at Sugar Park, along with children and even the resident cows. The relaxed, unfussy field above Beesands has plenty of space, and the coast path and beach are close by for walks, so it works well for dog owners.
How close is the beach?
Beesands beach is about a five minute walk from the campsite, set beside a historic working fishing village on Start Bay. Note there is a fairly steep hill back up from the beach, which is worth bearing in mind for anyone with limited mobility.
Are the pitches flat?
No, the site sits on a hillside in hilly South Devon, so pitches are on a slight slope rather than fully level. The upside is that nearly every pitch has views across the bay. If you are staying in a vehicle, the owners suggest bringing chocks.
When is Sugar Park open?
Sugar Park is open from April to the end of September, with peak season running from July to September. The site can close during particularly wet spells or for occasional private functions, so it is worth checking availability with the campsite before you travel.
