Modbury Club Campsite is situated within easy distance to the ancient village of Modbury. Nestled cosily between the moors and the sea, it is the perfect base from which to explore the charming surrounds of South Devon. The campsite offers you the pleasant choice between the quiet and solitude of beautiful Dartmoor with its tumbling streams, historic landscapes and lush views or the many small villages that make up the pleasantly rural South Hams.
There are many charming sandy coves placed conveniently close to the campsite and the Coastal Path which follows the South Western peninsula from Dorset right the way around to Somerset offers ideal walks for you to explore at your leisure. Whatever your mood, Modbury Club Campsite offers you an absorbing break. Should you feel the urge for a shopping spree, Plymouth is just a short journey away and includes a wealth of restaurants and pubs to choose from.

Poor road access
Modbury Club Campsite
This is a nice site with excellent wardens but I would not go here again with a motorhome and certainly not a caravan as the road access is not good. Yes its doable but getting to and from site can be stressful.
This site in my opinion would be best served as a static site or glamping site so the only access is via car. The roads are not suitable for large vehicles.
The road is single track in many places with high banks and bushes. This means you cannot see what is coming before you have committed and the distance to be traveled on such roads is 3+ miles. So be sure you are comfortable with reversing caravans and motorhomes over a distance in narrow sections.
Meeting other large vehicles happened to us several times and I had to back up several times up to 100 meters as the the lorries and tractors we met were not moving.
It seems that if there is an issue on the A38 that traffic is diverted or sat navs direct traffic down these unsuitable roads toward the site which makes access to and from the site even harder.
You can get to the site from Loddiswell but this road is not any better or worse.
The road from Modbury is not suitable at all.
If you do get to site, I think the best way to get around if using a motorhome is by electric bicycle (or motorbike) as most of the attractions are reachable with these. Furthermore, parking a motorhome in south Devon is difficult at best. South Devon does not appear to be motorhome friendly. I met several motorhomers who said the same and who would not be coming to Devon again.
Peaceful stay
Modbury Club Campsite
Excellent site, very peaceful and quiet when we were there in May.
Good and clean facilities, friendly helpful manager.
Many thanks.
Fourth Visit - Very Pleased
Modbury Club Campsite
Here we are again on the lovely Modbury site - wind blowing a gale, rain against the windows, but happy to be back. Never met better site managers than Deb and Rich - nothing's too much trouble. If you are not sure of your driving skills, either brush them up or choose a site nearer to a main road. Reminds us of when in Northern Scotland - great to visit, but be aware of other road users - no problem! We cannot praise the maintenance enough - should be able to award six ticks. Our only negative is that next year, the site is planned to be shut from 9th September, so our autumn tour will have to include other sites instead.

Our regular relaxation place
Modbury Club Campsite
Love this site, always guaranteed peace & relaxation - 9 miles to our favourite beach Mothecombe and 5 days of fantastic sunshine
Had a lovely breakfast at the Ring Feeder taking in the views (dog friendly inside & out), the continental breakfast was also amazing.
It was the week for the relief wardens and Bill & Carol were very friendly & welcoming while Debbie & Richard had their well earned few days off
A lot of the grass pitches were out of action due to the poor weather in July but still plenty of choice
An annoying thing the club have chosen to do is charge a different price structure for the grass/hard standing pitches - it was much better when you could just choose a white peg and drive round
First Visit
Modbury Club Campsite
First visit here and this is a lovely site. Staff very welcoming and friendly, The site is spacious, clean and well maintained, good advice from the staff regarding available pitches on our arrival, thank you. the local lanes can be challenging but this is Devon, allow extra time and expect to be patient when navigating the lanes, the locals are not very friendly when having to give way to a caravans but the narrow lanes and give way points work and the site is so lovely a few extra moments on your journey is well worth it, we did have issues with a large group of tents but credit to the staff, they dealt with this issues and we will definitely be back
