About the site

A family run campsite on the edge of East Devon's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this peaceful spot is well placed for exploring the Jurassic Coast (15 minutes) or enjoying a city day out in Exeter (20 minutes). Campers can choose from non electric grass pitches for tents only, or opt for electric grass pitches (6m x 6m) with a 10 amp hook up for tents and trailer tents. There are also fully serviced hardstanding pitches (8m x 8m) with 10 amp electric and water hook ups for tourers. If you fancy a bit more space, there are 13 premium fully serviced hardstanding pitches measuring 7m x 10m, each with a 16 amp electric hookup, for caravans, campervans, and motorhomes. All pitches are spread across two mainly level fields, offering a relaxed and spacious setting.

All of the pods have a kettle, fridge, a small dining area, heating, power sockets and a picnic bench.
