Croyde is a really nice place and with a beach not far it's great. We went a couple of years back with our mates it was really nice, we went back a few months ago by ourselves and it was rubbish (after it had been taken over) well it was a break and not every where can be great i guess!

Croyde, in our opinion, is simply superb. If you are touring you are detached from the main Ruda complex in The Burrows, therefore snuggled in behind the sand dunes less than 100 yards from the beach.

Here you don't really hear the club complex which isn't OTT noisy but is busy and a wee bit loud come 11pm.

Cliff walks, surf, beach, the village, the area are outstanding and if you want to have a drive out then there is Woolacombe, Lynton, Barnstaple and stacks of other villages etc etc.

We have visited this place at various times of the year throughout the past 5 or 6 years and not been disappointed, even the last week in October when the seas are wild but warmer than the air temperature.

Give it a bash you will not be disappointed.

We stayed at Ruda this weekend in the camping side. The showers and toilets were modern and clean - as with every campsite, they could do with twice as many of each! The club is noisy inside but you can't hear anything from outside. The beach is a two minute walk away - fantastic. Can't wait to go back to Ruda later in the season.

We have been to Ruda dozens of times; we have stayed in the caravans, the house and cottage and the lodges.

The location is impressive!

Nearby Saunton Sands is stunning and Croyde beach on your doorstep is beautiful too.

The club is the usual type of entertainment and caters for most tastes and shop is priced just the same as any on a campsite.

Cascades has long queues in poor weather but is fun for the kids - not serious swimmers.

The Fish and chip shop is good value and food is nice.

Staff have been there years and do their best to help.

The lodges are my fav. place to stay; who wouldn't want to be in the dunes a stone's throw from the beach.

Ok, so it's owned by a large company now, things change, but the beautiful area makes up for that!!

Just returned from yet another long weekend with our touring caravan at Ruda, was brilliant. Lovely weather, brilliant location, children had a great time. Had a meal out at the clubhouse which was lovely, all the staff friendly. Too expensive to take our caravan in school holidays so we'll be back in September. Shop is well equipped and not too expensive.
