Allerbrook Meadows

We stayed at Allerbrook Meadows last summer in the rain and loved it so much (despite the weather) that we returned this year. This time it was beautifully sunny for our entire stay which was a bonus. It is such a special site - beautifully peaceful with a little stream and a makeshift swing over it providing hours of entertainment for the kids. There is also access to a fridge, electricity sockets for charging phones etc, and a hot shower. Chris, the owner, is extremely accommodating and friendly. He offered a lot of very helpful advice and local knowledge about places to go and things to do. We ran out of time to fit everything in so hope to return again next year!

This is or second year back to Allerbrook Meadows with my family and this time we brought friends who loved it just as much as we did. It is a beautiful location with lots of wildlife -very much back to basics however there is still the option for hot showers, a charging point and freezers for ice packs - it really is the best of both worlds. Falling asleep to the sounds of the owls and the babbling brook is so peaceful and Chris and Pam, the owners are such genuinely lovely people who can't be more helpful and friendly.

Nothing .... That we couldn't stay longer !

If you are looking for an adventure, making a campfire on your pitch while the wine is cooling in the little brook running past your tent, and you're not afraid of driving a narrow lane, this is the place to be. Large pitch, even surface, always a little breeze and jolly companions who run the place.
Just room enough for three pitches and no cars direct near the pitch. In the evening wildlife makes itself heard; we've seen bats and heard different species of owls and pheasant.
The campsite gives access to a lot of possible activities: beachlife, seakayaking and watersports within 15 miles and also woods an moors within 20 miles. But having a big restday on the campsite itself, doing little and baking bread over the campfire in the evening is also fun.
There are kayaks and a sub for hire; this makes going co hidden beaches even more entertaining.

There is a lot of walking to do on this campsite, so people who are not accustomed to darkness and taking a little time to get to the shower or uphill to the parkinglot will have to adapt.
Toilets are dry-compost in tents and the shower is set up in a little garden shed. This wil cost you a bit more time and work to get your morning or evening shower.
There is no hot water available for dishwashing.

The whole site was as described. Very quiet only one other tent at time of stay. The hosts Chris and Pam could not do enough to help our stay. They were brilliant. The fire pit and wood were a lovely touch. The shower was excellent and the compost tiolet was good. Its a great campsite and close to great beaches. The kids loved it and its definitely on our best list from now on.

Allerbrook Meadows is a wonderful camping site in Devon.
This was our second stay here and we loved every second spent here.
The site has everything what you can ask for. Nice shower with hot water, fridge, charging facilities, toilet and portaloos, firepits with logs, washing up area, pots, picnic tablewith benches and even free wifi.
Chris and Pam are lovely hosts. They are always there and happy to help with any issue if needed.
Our 4 years old boy loved to play in the little stream running next to our tent and also loved to watch animals around us.
The location of the site is also perfect. There are lots of incredible places to visit within less than 1 hour drive. Such as Paignton, Darmouth or Hope Cove.
There are couple of smaller shops in the village and there is also a superstore is in 15 mins drive.
We would highly recommend this place to everyone (with or without kids) who loves nature as it is beautiful, quite and fully filled with the feeling of freedom.
We can't wait to go back next year.

Beautiful site with lots of wildlife and walks nearby. Very peaceful except when the rooks are disturbed. Very friendly and helpful hosts who are very willing to share their local knowledge. Lots of extras like the community centre tent with games, firepit, washing up bowl. There are items to borrow in the shed if you forget anything like a corkscrew. The free car park in Aveton Gifford was great for kayaking. The fridge was very useful in the hot weather if a bit of a trek. No light pollution so the stars were fantastic.

I wasn't aware when booking that the composting toilet was a hole in the ground (with toilet seat above) not the more usual ones with a separate tank for wee. This means you are given a portapotty for wee or can go wherever you like but we struggled to find anywhere private, especially when there were children playing in the stream. I didn't fancy having the potty in our small tent, especially in the hot weather. I forgot to mention while on site that ideally a toilet tent could be provided for each pitch or even just a windbreak to put around the potty. This wouldn't put us off going back though. We'd just need to put more thought into how to pitch our tent to give more privacy behind it.

We can highly recommend Allerbrook Meadows as a wonderful site to stay on. If you’re after a quiet site with lots of space and surrounded by nature then this is the site for you. Chris and Pam are wonderful hosts who are easy to talk to and happy to advise if asked. We took advantage of the chance to hire a kayak and paddleboard, and had the best time. We look forward to future camping trips there.

We had an amazing stay at Allerbrook Meadows. We had the idyllic campsite to ourselves and it was incredibly peaceful, situated next to a running stream and surrounded by nature. Pam and Chris went above and beyond to help us carry our bags down to the site and also suggest beaches and places to go in the local area. They were so helpful and welcoming, I would recommend this campsite to anyone.

Just what we were looking for. A lovely peaceful site in a meadow with a gentle stream and woods nearby. Chris and Pam were friendly, thoughtful and helpful hosts. Chris helped transport our kit on arrival and departure with his ride-on mower and motorised wheelbarrow, as it's perhaps 300 metres from where you park to the camping pitches down in the valley.
Facilities were kept clean and the shower shed worked well. Table top fridge with a small freezer compartment up by the shower kept our cool box functioning. No tap near the pitches so campers need to bring down their water from near the shower shed, large water container and sack trolley provided for transporting non-drinking water.
We enjoyed the wildlife being serenaded by owls on dry evenings and with sightings of kestrels, buzzards, herons etc. Conveniently located for Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Totnes etc. Nice walks from the campsite.

Could do with a larger fridge freezer for when there's more than one pitch being used.
