Torbay Borough Scout Campsite is situated on the south coast with fantastic views. Set amongst fields and woods the campsite
has excellent access to shops and the numerous tourist attractions of Torbay.
The Southwest coastal path passes the site and with Dartmoor only a few miles away from the site, we are provided with excellent
opportunities for both the novice walker and the experienced hiker.
Beaches are plenty around Torbay and the site is lucky enough to have a relatively secluded beach just 10 minutes walk down the hill,
ideal for swimming or just relaxing and taking in the ‘rays ‘.
The campsite consists of two fields: the back field has a wood pile & 2 water points, the front field also has a wood pile & 3 water points
During the summer season there is a tuck / gift shop on site run by volunteers for your sweet tooth, and for the ‘knotty’ people
amongst you there are some pioneering poles available.
Public fields and wood surround the campsite providing an excellent location for group wide games.
The site has a small chapel and campfire circle both of which can be used by visiting groups, the service team will also organize a
weekly campfire for any visiting groups that may be interested.
