What customers say

This pop-up campsite, situated on a former golf course, is praised for its stunning location, breathtaking views, and abundant space. Reviewers highlight the peace and quiet, excellent walking opportunities, and proximity to the river. Facilities are generally found to be clean, with spacious pitches being a significant plus. A minor concern regarding shower temperature and privacy has been addressed with the addition of shower curtains. The site offers great value and a relaxing escape.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Excellent couple of nights in a great pop up site. Jazz and Ali perfect hosts that also open up for coffee and cake 7-10:30. Pub within 15min walk although closes in the afternoon. Showers lovely, very clean powerful and hot with washing up facilities just outside. We also had the added luxury of electric bikes which made getting around easy. Shame we’re busy all of August as would have loved to come back. Fingers crossed for next year

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Everything!! This is a real hidden gem of a place. We live locally and just wanted somewhere to go for a couple of nights closer to the Dartmoor attractions. A friend recommended this after I had seen it on Pitch up.
It's quiet and peaceful, the caretakers are friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, they have even set up coffee and pastries for breakfast which is great (accepting card and cash) , who doesn't like a croissant fresh from the oven for breakfast.
It is a pop up campsite so don't expect luxury but due to it previously being a golf club and clubhouse it is far better than your average pop up. The toilets and showers are basic but functional and always clean and supplied (and if they aren't the caretakers are soon on it to fix it as they live onsite). They are based just opposite the end of the camping field so be aware when you are picking your pitch that the further you drive in the further you are away from the toilets. There is also a wash up facility.
The walk across the old golf course is fab alongside the river. It's serene and beautiful.
The location for Canonteign falls, Dartmoor reservoirs and Bovey Tracey is excellent, all within 15 minutes drive, access is very good, pitches are slightly sloped.
I really hope they can continue this or come back next summer as we will definitely be back. Thank you for doing this and making it affordable.
What would I suggest - Use the lockers for power charging, a freezer and fridge if possible and maybe a pop up bar similar to breakfast just selling cans of drink. Maybe a Saturday food van or BBQ.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Absolutely loved it here. Beautiful surroundings and huge pitches. It was lovely and quiet and did lots of walking with the dog. There are lots of trees if you need extra shade. Walked along the river a few times. Will definitely return if it is here next year. Will try and get here before it closes in August
