Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (wild, woodland)
Liked: lots of area options for wild camping area - there were very clean bathrooms and warm shower options. wood if you need to buy any more, and fire pits etc. was nice and quiet with lots of bird song to wake up to. both sun and shade options for whatevers preferred. we will probably be back! this is an adults only camp ground - it is unfair for them to receive a low score on child friendliness as this is of course not going to be a child friendly location.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (wild, woodland)
Liked: The Woodlands are a fantastic addition to this year pitches and really allos you to immerse yourself in your natural surroundings. During the 1 night stay here we saw a plethora of local wildlife from our tent. The chance to hire a firepit, logs, kindling and firestarters for just £12 is amazing. They take card or cash. A very quiet campsite just off the A38 is very wlecoming for travellers wanting to explore more of Devon.
