Sunny Camping non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Rambling nature of site. Variety of places to explore, and beautiful views.
Campers' kitchen provided cooking facilities and a kettle - luxury for a bikepacker! And an undercover place to relax in.
Dogs are considered on an individual basis - thank you 🥰
Friendly and helpful, both when booking and on site.
Plenty of clean, functional facilities.
Disliked: Not as easy to access from the sustrans route 27 as the map suggests - the area packs a lot of hill into each mile! Easy to find though. And the Ruby Way from highampton is a lovely way to avoid the A3072

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: My 15 year old daughter asked me to leave a really good review for this campsite. Pitchup should put this as one of their recommendations. The host was helpful and friendly. It's a great site with something for everyone. It has a beautiful woods to explore in. We see a deer whilst exploring the woods. The lakes are beautiful. Could see lots of stars. There was a campers kitchen, games room, clean indoor and outdoor toilet/shower facilities. This site has a lot to offer. The deer spotting and outdoor shower sold it to my daughter.
Would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Devon.

Liked: Nice friendly people working at the site, the owner was also very patient as I arrived late owing to a tyre puncture. Fortunately the bar was still open for a very necessary drink or two. I don't know how many times the pub has been mentioned before, but it's definitely worth a visit on the weekend, interesting decor.
Some nice walks from the site itself as well as being close to Dartmoor and the coast. Also look out for the occasional events held.
All in all, a nice campsite in a good location.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Orchard Escape bell tent
Liked: A little haven in the middle of nowhere, but not too far from Bude and Cornwall. Owners were super friendly and accommodating. We loved the quirky bar and outdoor seating area, with all the twinkly lights. We stayed in a furnished bell tent and it was perfect and the surroundings just gorgeous. It came with a fire-pit and so we bought a big basket of logs and kindling from the site and had a fire-pit both nights we stayed. There are shared facilities for campers to use - microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge etc which meant we didn’t have to pack all of our camping stuff. In the tent was a cool box and plastic plates, bowls, knives and forks which was a lovely touch. We’re definitely planning to return next year, as we loved it so much
Disliked: Nothing we disliked, loved it all
