Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2024

On arrival, we found our pitch ticket was pre allocated (7) on a peg attached to a pallet with a site map to show you where to go and some basic instructions. Overall, the site was good, very quiet and only one other campervan on site when we got there. This did increase, but only to 4/5 of the 40 pitches were taken up for the time we were there. Our pitch was pretty flat for our large tent, some of the others are not. The owners never came to say a proper "hi" but did wave as they carried on the day to day work on the farm. The shower block only has 2 showers for male and 3 for female and were not cleaned for the first few days, so glad there was only a few other people on site. This was then attended to every morning. My wife had to wait a couple of times for the shower in the morning, even with so few pitches taken, so with 40 pitches I can only imagine the queue. So for this reason I marked this down. As for the open view from the washing up area, this was great, looking out over the site and the surrounding hills. Be advised, the roads to the site are single track with passing places. Some of these are very tight, depending on your vehicle size. I would advise proceed with caution. Yes, we would return again, but not in the main season due to the amount of facilities.

Quiet haven

Absolutely beautiful setting with a 1-2 mile walk to Lannacombe Cove. If you want peace and quiet and don't mind being away from it all, this is perfect. No electricity hook ups but that was fine for us. Showers and toilets nice and clean. Friendly and helpful hosts.

Lovely site, very rural

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2024

Was slightly out of the way so lots of small lanes to negotiate, but a beautiful location. There's a small beach within walking distance. Great washing up facilities, lots of hot water, clean toilets and showers with lots of room. Site very hilly so large chicks needed to level a vehicle if you have a camper. No phone signal for EE or Tesco mobile so be mindful if you need your phone.

What a beautiful place!

Worth the travel to this place. Lanes are a little tight in places but camping is great. Very quiet with the backdrop of hills in the valley. I'm already planning to go next year. Good facilities and scenery too.

Peaceful site

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Beautiful setting in a quiet area. The campsite was lovely and clean. Just somewhat surprised at the way we were sited, given it was a field with only 3 tents but all positioned by the owner next to each other. We never saw the campsite owners during our stay and found it very impersonal. We would have preferred at least recognition that we had arrived and we're leaving.

Lovely

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Beautiful location. Found along narrow, windy lanes set in the most stunning countryside. It's beautiful and untouched! Nearby to so many stunning beaches.Peaceful site. First few days were very quiet then the site filled up. It was great either way. It was lovely to see children just being children and really enjoying themselves. Cleaners worked really hard. Last day arrived back to the pitch to find we had people pitched in our pitch...not sure what had happened, must have been a small mix up but I did wonder why the new campers hadn't gone to the owners to say they had been put on a pitch with a tent already pitched instead of putting their tent up...it was ok as we were leaving the next morning but had we been staying longer then we would have had to ask them to move. These things happen and it definitely didn't ruin our trip. Would definitely go back. Can use electricity points and freezers for ice packs and hairdryer available. Superb value x

Quiet gem

Even better now, facilities have been updated but still a lovely peaceful site with plenty of space. Not too far to coast path and beaches.

Amazing, quiet and beautiful site to get away from it all

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Small, friendly, quiet and beautiful little campsite. Plenty of nature on site and local walks especially to a lovely little beach just over a mile away. This site has all the amenities you want and need (except a shop) but come prepared and it's the perfect spot to get away from it all and really unwind.

Great campsite

Love this campsite! Only thing my older kids wanted to suggest is some hay bales or climbing frame/ swing as somewhere to hang out and meet other campers. Really great place, definitely will be coming back.

Beautiful campsite in South Devon

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

This is a well run campsite, with good facilities - hot water for both showers and washing up, access to washing machine and tumble dryer at reasonable prices. The campsite is lovely, with a wealth of wildlife - swallows swoop over in the day, then the bats take over at dusk. The South Devon lanes around the campsite are very narrow, with high hedges, often steep and with few passing places, so be prepared for this before you go. However, it is a beautiful part of the world. The South West coast path is nearby and there are several lovely beaches within 30 minutes drive.

Wonderful campsite
