This pop-up campsite on a former golf course offers spacious pitches and a peaceful, quiet environment. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful hosts, the beautiful surroundings with river walks, and the overall value for money. While some facilities are in the process of renovation, they are generally described as clean and functional, with a newly built outdoor washing-up station noted. Some guests mentioned issues with shower privacy and water temperature, but manager comments indicate improvements are being made. The relaxed arrival and departure times are also appreciated.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Really liked it - well maintained, lovely hosts, beautiful spot and a really worthwhile project to support. Very dog friendly and a beautiful spot to let loose the other side of the tunnel.

Disliked To be viable as a long term campsite the facilities would probably need to be more extensive but they were no problem and very well cared for.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked We loved the relaxed atmosphere of this site. Turn up at any time, choose your pitch.

showers and toilets were fine. The grounds are well kept with re-wilding fields included in the 100acres which you are free to explore.

Lots of wildlife around. We heard night jarrs and also found glow worms in the long grass! Which was very exciting for us!

It was around half hour drive to Paignton and Dawlish Warren beaches which we visited, there are also lots of other beaches and days out nearby. Along with shops, restaurants and pubs.

We paid £38 for 2 nights as a family of 4 which is amazing.

Disliked The only thing about the turn up at any time rule was that we were woken up at 7 by people setting up their tent and their dog barking at another dog. So maybe if there could be a rule to turn up from 8am-9pm? Otherwise this rule is great. You can turn up, set up and get out to a beach or other day out, instead of not being able to set up camp before 2pm like a lot of other sites.

My husband spoke to the grounds keeper about accessibility into the toilet block, it was discussed that there is a way through the club house which is accessible so I believe a sign may be going up on the door to make this clearer - which is amazing.

Fab memories made. Recommended to everyone, solo or family.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Everything! Amazing friendly owners, clean and tidy, huge pitch options. Facilities were cleaned frequently, washing up and drinking water accessible. Added bonus of fresh coffee and pastries available every morning. And close access to the rover to keep the kids busy.

Disliked Leaving 🤣
