A great little site, beautifully clean, fabulous hot showers, £1 for 5 minutes, and long drop composting toilets, clean and no smell. Fire pits and bags of wood can be ordered in advance and dropped at your pitch. 15 minute walk to South Milton sands and short drive to Kingsbridge and Salcombe. Also possible to order supermarket delivery. Campsite quiet by 10.30pm, plenty of space for kids to play, and fridges and freezers to keep things cool plus USB phone charging points. Anita is always on hand if you need anything, we had a fabulous 4 night stay.

Great little pop-up park. Basic but good value for money and what it says on the tin.

Thank you for taking the time to review us, Holly, and I love the Ronseal comment! We do try to make it clear to our guests before they arrive that there is no concrete, tarmac or slot machines! Just starry skies, a great vibe and relaxed atmosphere. So pleased you got us! Hope to see you again!
Lovely stay in a good location

Lovely location with an easy 10 minute walk to the beach. 2 cafés/bars at beach- did not eat there but seemed very popular & food looked nice. 30 minute walk along coast to Hope Cove with pubs & restaurants - beautiful. Few minutes drive to Kingsbridge for supplies (Tescos & Morrisons) pubs & takeaways. Lots to do in local area. Really good communications from the owner with lots of info & suggestions for day trips etc. Loved sitting by the fire pit in the evenings watching the bats! Facilities in temporary structures because of location but a lot better than a lot of "permanent " campsites I've stayed at. USB charging points & fridge freezer really appreciated. We had a lovely stay & would love to come back x
