About the site


A one acre field campsite with spacious, unallocated unmarked pitches for families and couples looking for some peace and quiet. There are 15 grass pitches that allow up to six people. No pitches have electric hook up. If you're lucky, you may even be able to spot the local foxes, deer, slow worms, bats, barn owls, dragonflies and numerous other birds...a nature lovers paradise! The River Lew is a two minute walk from the campsite at the end of the lane. Fresh eggs are available to buy at the gate from free range hens roaming the land. Campfires are permitted in raised fire pits. BBQs are also allowed as long as they are raised off the grass. Dogs permitted if you notify the site first and keep them on a lead, please, due to onsite wildlife and chickens.

A note from the site themselves...

We aim to provide a peaceful, chilled camping experience in a beautiful rural setting, yet just a 10 minute walk from the pretty Devon market town of Hatherleigh.

We are rewilding parts of the six acre site, have a wetland area planned, planting trees including an orchard area, growing veg and keeping chickens, while living off grid ourselves, generally aiming for a level of self-sufficiency, while sharing our site with campers during the summer months.
