A note from the site themselves...
Our site is located on our working farm, Terawhiti Farm, which has been in our family for over 100 years. It is a small, traditional, family run farm but very diverse in what we produce.
The winter months are spent yielding all sorts of vegetables including cauliflower, kale, cabbages, sprouts, celeriac, pumpkins, chard and pumpkins. In the summer, we have fresh strawberries and broccoli and the autumn brings pumpkin patch weekends. All this is always interspersed with the fattening of our hundred strong beef herd.
Since 1940 something, and throughout the generations, our farm has been welcoming people to stay on the South Devon campsite and many will return year after year. We hope you become a regular soon, Anita

Spacious, non-electric grass pitches on either side of the field. Suitable for tents, trailer tents and small camper vans. Pitches measure 10m x 10m. Max two units per pitch.
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.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023
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
