Overnight camp in our new van

VW-Type Campervan - Wild Grass PitchesAug 2026

It was our second time staying at Bush Farm, the kids absolutely love this place! This was our first camping trip in our new van so was a test run really for us! It’s a perfect area, very scenic and lots of space to pitch wherever you like and for the kids to run around and burn off that summer holiday energy! The kids loved the rope swing and slide that goes into the water. Also areas on the map too with child free zones which I thought was great for those looking for a quieter camping experience. On site showers and toilet facilities, On site food trucks which was new to us from our last visit and live entertainment over weekends which we look forward to on our next visit and hopefully now that I have figured out the awning it’ll be smoother! All in all great prices, friendly and helpful staff would highly recommend.

I booked an extra night

Medium Tent - Wild Grass PitchesAug 2026

Basic but excellent site. I camped in one of the further away fields with bales in it. Unlike the fields closer to facilities, I had this one pretty much to myself. Great base for exploring, pitch where you want with loads of room to pitch. At the weekend they hd entertainment.

Lovely site

Large Tent - Wild Grass PitchesJul 2026

For a wild camping site, it was quite civilised with a warm shower, washing up place and loos scattered around the site. Amenities were clean and the owner helpful. River swimming was available on site and the site itself was enormous with plenty of places to camp away from other groups and a massive range of pitches. A lovely spot from which to explore local attractions in Plymouth and local beaches. I would warmly recommend it.
