Park description:
Salcombe Regis Camping & Caravan Park is a 16 acre rural campsite located about 1.5 miles to the east of the regency Town of Sidmouth. We are licenced for 100 pitches plus 10 static caravans that we own and hire out for weekly or short break holidays.
Mark & Sally Langdown are the resident owners and are helped on site by Steve and Glennis Mabbott who reside on site 12 months of the year. We now require additional staff to join the team going forward.
We strive to deliver a high standard at all times and provide the best possible customer experience. Online reviews are the marketing way forward and this is only achieved with a dedicated team who take pride in their work and have the desire to maintain the high standard and level of service that our customers have become accustomed to.
