AMAZING site, AMAZING facilities and AMAZING dog loving hosts 🤩🐕
Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The hosts were absolutely amazing. Leigh was very approachable, lovely and easy to chat too. Excellent site for the doggo lovers, with great secure run area for the dogs to stretch their legs. Toilets, showers, dishwashing facilities etc were always spotless and clean and free drinking water taps available around site. Good size plots and although you are near a road, I found it to be a nice quiet spot and wasn't affected or didn't notice traffic noise at all. Brilliant touring site and we would highly recommend to anyone, especially the dog lovers out there!! Another benefit, it's an adult only site, (I have a child and grandson), however, it's nice to get away from it all without those kind of distractions at times.

lovely site, adults only, pets welcome, good for 1nite or longer stop.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked great location if wanting a stop of on route to holiday further into Cornwall. great size pitches, with added bonus of picnic bench on some pitches. Bathroom clean and good size. secure feeling on site. quick access to A30 for moving around Dartmoor or top end of Cornwall. we stayed 4 nights, plenty to do with short drives. dog toilet field on site, but also a secure dog field just 5mins away if you didn't want to walk out.
Disliked Local shop in Crockenwell very poorly stocked, however supermarkets in Oakhampton (Waitrose, coop, Aldi) all on same location and nice town to visit. short drive.
septic tank smells if wind was blowing in your direction.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Le camping est idéalement situé pour des départs en randonnée. Le camping est très bien entretenu, l'accueil est parfait, les emplacements suffisamment spacieux. Nous avons adoré l'espace billard et lecture. Les sanitaires sont propres et neufs. Il y a un accès à une ferme avec une boutique de produits locaux.

Excellent, beautifully kept site with fabulous staff 😊
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Absolutely loved Barley Meadows. We arrived after a long drive and had a call to say our pitch was ready. Staff were friendly, cheerful and chatty. Nothing was too much trouble.
The site has excellent safety measures on entrance and exit which ensures only guests on site have access.
The site is immaculate and the toilet/shower facilities were impeccable. There was a mix of mature couples and some solo travellers.
Noise was minimal apart from some traffic noise during busy periods however this did not bother us.
There is a little, well stocked shop on site with everything you need from camping needs to bottled beer!
We would definitely recommend this site, you will not be disappointed, we will be back one day soon 😀
Disliked Nothing, noise of the road during the bust times of the day although this didn’t put us off!

Guter Ausgangspunkt für motorisierte Fahrten ins Dartmoor
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Der Platz war sehr gepflegt: schöne, ausreichend große Grasfläche; die sanitären Einrichtungen waren sauber und modern; es gab ausreichend Duschen und Plätze zum Spülen, ebenso Stellen für Trinkwasser. Da der Platz auf Hundehalter ausgelegt ist, gibt es einen eingezäunten Bereich für die Hunde mit toller Aussicht auf das Dartmoor.
In etwa 5 km Umkreis gibt es einige sehr schöne Wanderwege.
Disliked Am ersten Abend (Freitag) war es sehr laut, da der Platz direkt an einer Straße liegt, die wohl gerne von Motoradfahrern zum Gasgeben genutzt wird. An den anderen Tagen war dies zum Glück aber nicht mehr der Fall.
Schade fand ich auch, dass es keine Fußwege in der Nähe gab, so dass ich die morgendliche Runde mit dem Hund entlang der engen Straße gehen musste, wo ab und zu auch mal Autos kamen.
Wir hatten auf das Auto verzichten wollen, was aber leider nicht möglich war, da wir immer mehrere Kilometer an der Straße hätten entlang gehen müssen um zu den schönen Wanderwegen im Dartmoor zu gelangen.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Am Freitag während Ihres Aufenthalts gab es einen Unfall auf der A30, sodass wir die Umleitung übernehmen mussten. Zum Glück ist bei dem Unfall niemand unversehrt geblieben!
Bezüglich unseres Standorts und der Nähe zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten empfehle ich Ihnen, sich vor der Buchung genauer zu informieren. Castle Drogo und Fingle Bridge sind vom Campingplatz aus zu Fuß erreichbar, liegen jedoch auf Nebenstraßen (keine Hauptstraßen). Wir wünschen Ihnen eine gute Reise. Herzliche Grüße von Leigh und David
