Overall, excellent campsite and would definitely visit again
Electric grass pitch
Liked Great location for days out. We went to a different beach every day. The pitches are big and flat. Plenty of space between the next pitch. We had a tent, porch and event shelter. Great facilities for the kids with a play barn, multiple rope swings, play area, bouncy castle. Good cleanliness for the showers and toilets. Relaxed owners/managers.
Disliked Minor points, but the water points have hoses connected to them. The one closest to our pitch was touching the ground. They could be cut so they are off the ground. Very few items in the site shop. But not a problem as there are superstores a short drive away. Not a negative, but please remember to bring a 25m cable for electric hook up. It’s mentioned on the booking site.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely big pitches, flat ground, lots of toilets and showers available. The shower cubicles were small but usually clean. We went on a random weekend so it was nice and quiet, with lots of space for the kids to play.
Disliked The sinks for washing up were quite impractical - no where to put the stuff once you'd washed it. The play equipment was tired and could do with renewing.

Amazing lots to do.
Electric grass pitch
Liked We have had a fabulous half term. The kids have had so much to do. Rope swing, play barn swings trampoline and farm animals. They have had massive open spaces to run and meet new friends. Beautiful long walk through the sheep’s field with beautiful views. Facilities clean. Lovely hot showers. Owner happy to put up with 100 questions from my youngest. Best campsite we have been to. Music was played by others but all respectful and off by 10pm
Disliked There are gaps olin the shower room doors but I just hung up a towel

A lovely, relaxed and non commercial site in beautiful Devon.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Clean showers. Relaxed atmosphere. Self check in and out. Really large pitches. Kids felt free enough to go to the park and trampoline alone.
Disliked Toilets got blocked quickly. Could have benefited from a small shop for basics like milk but we survived.
