  • Family-friendly park within walking distance of a quiet Devon village
  • A 10-minute walk from Ashwater; 30 minutes' drive from Bude
  • Far-reaching rural views; under a mile from a vineyard and local pub
This rather relaxing site is a prime choice for those looking to be lulled into a leisurely mood. Sunny Pooh Corner is but a 10-minute stroll from the Devon village of Ashwater, a peaceful spot that's home to a friendly local pub, a handy food shop and a gorgeous village green (where you can catch glimpses of far-off Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor on clearer days). Sunny Pooh Corner has plenty of pleasant vistas of its own – the folk that run this place say that there's something special to see from every pitch. This rural site is also a hub for animal life – as well as the wild critters that can frequently be seen scurrying through the long grass, Sunny Pooh Corner has horses and an inquisitive gaggle of geese to its name. Dogs are also welcome here, but please make sure to keep them on a lead. Well-kept toilets and showers are available if you haven't brought your own (a small charge applies), and water is available for guests. Barbecues are welcome here, but please keep them safely off the ground. Another option at mealtimes is sampling pub-cooked grub from the Village Inn's varied menu (highlights include locally sourced fish dishes). There's also a vineyard a few minutes' walk away that organises regular tours and tasting events.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely site, nice big pitches and cute little cottages on site too. We prefer smaller not busy sites and Sunny Pooh Corner was perfect. The owner has been very helpful, we'd definitely recommend this place!

Disliked: The access road is a fairly long single track road so just be aware of that - but no issues whatsoever (we met several cars on the way but there are passing places so all good).

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful, peaceful site. Very well maintained. Friendly and quick response from owner. Reasonable price. Warm welcome with option to pick pitch and a pot of tea served on a tray with a smile. What a gem! We hope to return. The Hartland bay was a real pleasure to find so close by too. Lots of facilities within a fairly short drive. Pub and village walking distance from site.

Disliked: Bit of a queue for the loo with only one toilet and shower on site when we stayed. (Doesn’t detract from our wonderful visit on the site at all)

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent stay in Devon, short drive to many attractions and beaches

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet secluded site close to village shop and pub. Most of our stay we were the only people on site so felt like we were wild camping with amenities! Ricky and Amanda were so friendly and welcoming- the pot of tea on arrival was a first for us and was such a lovely touch. They were available on site if needed at all times. We would definitely go back, I think if the site was busy the wash block could get busy, so would definitely opt for possible quiet dates.

Local attractions

Before wining and dining in Ashwater you might want to build up a bit of an appetite. Head to Roadford Lake (10 minutes' drive) for a spot of sport in scenic surrounds – here you can opt for waterside walks or hire a kayak from the activity centre. After a lake where you can fish? Clawford Lakes (five minutes) has 17 different pools to choose from. Or perhaps you'd rather cast your line in the briny deep? Head into Bude (30 minutes) to sort off-shore fishing trips and to be in with a chance of bringing back some fresh mackerel or bass. Make sure to check out Bude’s gorgeous sandy beaches while in town, or head down the road instead to pebbly Crackington Haven (40 minutes from base). The wide open spaces of Dartmoor National Park are also on the cards. The old fortress town of Okehampton (30 minutes) is the gateway to the park – the remains of its medieval castle still stand today and are a great vantage point over the surrounding countryside. When it comes to wild and windswept Dartmoor vistas, though, High Willhays Tor (45 minutes) is the undisputed champion.
