Liked A super site. Just off the A30. Ideal for an overnight stop when heading for Cape Cornwall. Lovely views while walking the dog in the doggie area.

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.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Great site, the pitches were a good size with excellent toilet/washing facilities. The location is good with the site not being far from the a30. Staff were great and we appreciated the camp shop for any last minute necessities. Everyone was very friendly, it being adults only meant the atmosphere was very chill. Good amount of water points around the site meant you didn't have to walk far, the bothy room was a great addition with the free pool table.
Disliked Not an issue with the campsite at all but something to bear in mind, the only downside was the closest village Crockernwell not having any amenities like a pub and the buses from Exeter/Okehampton stop around 6pm. We ended up driving to Okehampton for The London Inn which I would highly recommend for good cheap food and they show the football but of course meant my girlfriend couldn't have a drink at the pub.

From the manager: Many thanks Aaron for your great review. With regards to the local village it's actually Drewsteignton which is only a mile away does have a pub and you can walk to it from the site, although it is very hilly! There is also a pub and shop only two miles away in Cheriton Bishop. However we are pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay with us. Best wishes from Leigh and David

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 Friendly team, clean and tidy layout. I only stayed for a quick nights stop over while travelling but all seemed fine.
Disliked Knocked a couple of stars off for cleanliness as the showers weren’t very clean - but more likely the way other guests left them.

Lovely site for a nice few days away near Dartmoor.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Good sized pitch, nice and flat and smooth. Really great toilet/shower block which were clean and well built. Nice to have the option of the Bothy for phone charging, a game of pool and a fridge/freezer.
Friendly welcome and nice people. Really well organised site.
Recommend the Post Inn for food/drinks
