Pithead Campsite

We had a wonderful one-night stay for my child’s 12th birthday celebration with a few of his friends on the last weekend of the season. Fan very kindly kept the marquee up for us which was due to be taken down the next day, and this was a great wet weather provision and the perfect space for breakfast the next day. The site is very beautiful and well cared for with many apple trees. The atmosphere is lovely and there are all the facilities one needs for a camping break including a kitchen/bar area with lighting, stove and a fire pit with seating. You can buy a wheelbarrow of firewood on site. Would love to come back with several families next summer for the weekend. Big thanks 🙏

The A30 and airport is audible at night so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper but you can ignore it

Loved being close to nature. Very rustic.

We had a lovely stay at Pithead. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's passing through the area and they will for sure go back if I'm there again. It is a beautiful site, the amenities make for a very easy camp and the host is really attentive and welcoming. We had a lovely evening relaxing by the firepit

This is the nicest campsite we have stayed at. There are beautiful orchard trees and bamboo trees giving privacy to the loos and a lovely enclosed outdoor shower. There is a communal kitchen with gas hob and small fridge, a large communal firepit, a covered outdoor communal dining area with several tables and armchairs and paths have been mowed into the grass/meadow to create pitch areas and pathways to each of them, as well as to all facilities. There are three lovely bell tents with fire pits and picnic tables as well as a lovely shepherd’s hut. There is even a grass tennis court complete with balls and high end racquets for adults and kids. The site isn’t too big or at all crowded. It was wonderful staying there.

You can hear a main road from the site but this sort of noise helps out our children to sure. There is occasional air traffic noise but this was slain very interesting for the children and it is rare at night.

Stunning accommodation
Very welcoming and hard working host, went above and beyond to accommodate us.
Fantastic communal areas

The whole place! From the location to the rustic-ness! It was soooooo peaceful and the camp kitchen and retro marquee were amazing. The fire pit was great for toasting marshmallows for luxury smors - we used double chocolate chip cookies for the biscuit bit! The kitchen was really well kitted out and we had no problem sharing it with other campers - it made it really sociable. We were more than happy to add to the honesty box for the gas. The shower was great, nice and warm and the toilets were clean and not smelly as long as people remembered to close the toilet lids! It was place that made a lot of the Jurassic coast really accessible - we would definitely stay again.

Fan was amazing and so welcoming and friendly - thank you!

nothing!

Lovely small and welcoming campsite, good facilities including kitchen area with communal fridge.
We visited the area specifically to see the beavers on the River Otter!
I enjoyed not having cars next to tents as it meant the site was more peaceful (& picturesque!)

Shower was not particularly warm. Proximity to the A30 meant loud road noise even late at night unfortunately.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pithead Campsite,such a lovely place. Our little girls enjoyed the swing and to run around the apple trees. Good camping facilities,had everything you need when you go camping (plates,cutlery,mugs,etc),even USB for charging your phone.
The owner of the campsite,a lovely lady, was very welcoming and friendly.
