Sconner Down is a tranquil campsite set amongst woodland on a Christmas tree farm. If you'd like to escape the hustle and bustle of the modern world and awake to the sound of birdsong then Sconner Down is the place to stay.
About the site
With pitches amongst the trees on a Christmas tree farm, or on open green areas, Sconner Down is the perfect place to stay, relax and escape from the busy modern world. It's a tranquil hillside site (though with plenty of level pitches), with spectacular views towards Plymouth and the sea. Sconner Down was established to let children enjoy the outdoor environment safely and camping has developed from there. The site is a magical space where noisy kids can learn to be free range children - with lots of woodland space to explore and make dens. The site is also available for sole hire to stage magical outdoor weddings and events.
