Can you recommend a camp site or two best suited for a manual wheelchair and tell me what is good about it?

We are members of both clubs (CCC & CAMC) but not limited to them of course.

It would be nice to be near a town, suitable walk or cycle path.

Many thanks in advance.

Croyde Burrows, Parkdean Holidays, Croyde.


NOT RECOMMENDED during school holidays and other peak time!

Otherwise a fairly flat site with tamac roadways, otherwise grass.

Two steps to negotiate for entrance to the toilet blocks.

Onsite shop, fish and chip shop, club and restaurant. An uphill trip, 200 mtrs, but downhill back.

A kilometer trip to village centre, if you take the road there is a stiff gradient for the last 100 mtrs but there is a cross country back route by footpath that is fairly level but uneven stony path straight into the village centre.

Bus stop right outside the site gates with a regular bus service to Broughton, Barnstaple, Ilfracombe. North Devon Wave Route 21, the buses have disabled access.

Returned from Jedburgh. Site facilities are not good for wheelchair users. But the walk/push into town was okay. The town itself is on a hill.

Garlieston CAMC site is a good one. Local pub is accessible, nice walk to Galloway House gardens and beach using a Freewheel. Did not try the beach, it didn't look wheelchair friendly, but had picnic tables at the top which are accessible.

Southport CMC site. Adjacent park with flat tarmac pathway, supermarket close by, town within easy reach and a nice flat promenade idea for wheelchairs.

Keswick CCC site for flat access to Keswick town and shopping including food. Multiple bus routes close by. Lovely views of Derwent Water.

One of our favs! Both the pub and the site. :whistle2:

Another one for you.
The C&MC site at Forfar is also very disabled friendly.
There's a reasonably shallow ramp up into the toilet block with a separate disabled toilet and a shower cubicle in both ladies and gents that you can get a wheelchair into \ under the shower.
A gate giving direct access to a sizeable park and lochside walk of around 3 miles around. A horse and trap converted for autistic kids in wheelchairs was being run by a charity group a couple of weeks back from the car park next to the site.
Satellite signal is suspect due to trees but EHU bollards have TV points on them.
The town centre is a flat 5-10 minute walk from the site gate (cross straight over the main road rather than turning right). Aldi, Lidl, ASDA, etc all within walking distance.

Ballater Caravan Park, near Balmoral. Flat site, the Riverside pitch we had was superb. Probably the cleanest and most well organised site I have ever stayed on. 👍

The site at Devizes is next to a canal and flat. It’s a club site but I can’t remember which club.

Nice pub on the canal about a mile away which I am pretty sure you could get to in a wheelchair.

Don‘t turn left at the canal towards Devizes because there is a series of locks and quite a steep climb.

It’s been some time since I was last there so I hope my memory is correct.
