The crunch of gravel under your van tyres, and you're here — a proper Devon touring site where the hills roll green beyond the hedge and the air smells faintly of cut grass and distant coast.
Oakdown suits caravanners and motorhomers looking for a well-established pitch in the heart of the South West, the kind of place where levelling blocks come out and awnings go up for a few nights' exploring. Dog owners should ask ahead — there's flexibility, but best to check what's expected. The site sits in Devon touring country, within striking distance of the Jurassic Coast, market towns, and those winding lanes that lead to cream teas and estuary views.
Campfires are worth asking about on arrival — policies vary depending on season and pitch, so have the conversation when you check in. Facilities aren't heavily advertised, but this is a working site with the basics covered; expect a no-fuss setup where the focus is on your pitch and the landscape around it, not bells and whistles. It's a steady, reliable spot for a Devon leg of a longer tour.
