Anonymous Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Beautifully maintained, peaceful little campsite. Clean showers and toilets, a games room with a pool table, a few books and board games as well as a charging point for phones etc in a lockable safe. The friendly reception has a small shop stocking everything you could possibly have forgotten when camping. The site was quite full when we stayed, but it is so well layed out everyone gets a nice private spot. There are anpr barriers which gave extra peace of mind too. Highly recommend for adults wanting a quiet, relaxed break in a beautiful location.

Make sure you book a handstand so no one can walk across your pitch..
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Facilities were lovely and staff great.
Disliked Where we were pitched in the middle.
Everyone walked right next to us to get to the toilet block. Very little privacy so need windbreaks etc to mark some territory.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. With regards to a path way, sadly people will always take the quickest route even if it means passing some ones pitch. We are sorry that this spoilt your stay with us however we are disappointed that you didn't come and speak to us where we could have looked for a different pitch for you. Instead you decided to just leave us a review. Best wishes from Leigh and David.
Just spent our second time here. We will be back next year.

Anonymous Aires overnight (roadside) electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Really lovely staff and super helpful reception shop for any last minute necessities. Really great facilities, love having drinking water tap right there at the pitch. Absolutely loved the easy access walks straight from the campsite.
Disliked Right on the roadside which can be quite loud but not really an issue.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to leaves us a great review. With regards to the road noise from your pitch, please note that you did book a Roadside Aires Pitch which is why they are priced at a cheaper rate. However we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Best wishes from Leigh and David.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a kind review. With regards to a pathway. Sadly, wherever we put a pathway it will always be in the wrong place and people will always walk across the grass. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Perfectly proportioned smallish adult-only campsite with decent-sized fully serviced pitches. Owners very helpful and friendly. On-site shop stocked useful items like BBQ charcoal and utensils. Cycling distance to National Trust Castle Drogo & Fingles Bridge. Super clean facilities, and impressed with the provision of a powerful Dyson hairdryer in the “ladies”. Didn’t use it but there was a farm shop next door too.
Disliked Not quite enough shady spots in the heatwave!
