What customers say
This adults-only campsite is praised for its exceptional cleanliness and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful staff, well-maintained pitches, and modern facilities, including spotless showers and toilets. Its convenient location for exploring Dartmoor and the surrounding area is frequently mentioned. The dog-friendly approach, complete with a secure dog walking area, is also a popular feature. While some note occasional road noise due to its proximity to the A30, this is generally not considered a major issue. Many guests express a desire to return, citing it as a top choice.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Small, clean, friendly place.
Disliked I asked for somewhere quiet and was put near the main entrance with noisy neighbours and a yappy dog. I was told it was too busy and nowhere was very quiet, but when I walked around later after reception was closed I saw many better spots that were free. Also quite close to a road and has regular traffic.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
With regards to your booking. You booked the day before your arrival with a request of a quiet pitch. However on arrival (you arrived at 13:17) whilst we checked you in we discussed that the campsite is in a horse shoe style shape and that all of our Grass Pitches are in the middle with all the Hard Standing Pitches around the outside. So wherever you were pitched you would have people around you. You also stated to us that the reason for wanting to be somewhere quiet was because you stay up late and have a sliding door on your camper. You also stated that you had had complaints about this on other sites. You were placed 3 pitches away from the entrance with the pitch giving you a hedge and bushes to make it as quiet and private as possible. We also made sure that you didn't have people next to you. It is such a shame that if you were so unhappy with your pitch that after arriving at 13:17 you did not walk around the campsite till after 18:00. If you had spoken to us and had found a pitch which you would have preferred we could have accommodated this. But you did not give us this chance, you decided to leave a bad review instead. As for the road this give our campsite fantastic access, but this does mean that cars will pass by our site. Sadly the campsite/us can't control the road. We rate ourselves on being a very dog friendly site and sadly dogs bark. It sounds like you would be better doing more research and finding a campsite in the middle of nowhere with only a few pitches and that don't allow dogs. We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Best wishes from Leigh and David.

An excellent site with good facilities and location
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Spotlessly clean and well spaced pitches. Easy access which is important for us as we have a twin axle 8ft wide caravan. Free wifi.
Disliked The showers were nice and hot with a separate dressing area but it was a bit small and water sprayed into the dressing area

A well maintained, quiet and quality site to stay..
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The site is a very easy to locate and very close to the A30. Access is through a ANPR barrier and worked faultlessly and fast! The welcome by the reception lady was lovely and friendly and check in was easy.
Site is compact and small enough to be friendly, large enough to spread out. A mix of Campers, Motorhomes and Touring caravans worked well.
The wash block was one of the cleanest I have ever seen and was a credit to the staff on it's maintenance. The Pot Wash area and the Elsan point were equally spotless.
WiFi worked really well across the site but TV reception was haphazard, not helped by Storm Dave!
Plenty of taps scattered across the site so not far to lug the water roll.
A good location for central access to Devon, Dartmoor and Cornwall.
A big shout to that the sky is HUGE and little light pollution so star gazers would really benefit too...
Drogo castle and Fingle Bridge walk well worth it though be prepared for some climbing but a fabulous path and circuit about 5 miles.
Disliked A pub within a closer walking distance would of been nice but just being picky. Would go back with no hesitation..
