What customers say
This is a clean and well-maintained campsite with private pitches separated by hedges. Guests consistently praise the friendly staff and the excellent food and atmosphere at the adjoining pub. While the location is ideal for exploring Devon, some visitors mention road noise and a lack of mobile signal. A recurring concern is the limited number of toilets and showers, particularly when the site is busy, and occasional unpleasant odours around the toilet block have been noted.

Pitches were private and the pub…
Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Pitches were private and the pub was nice and the toilets/shower blocks were clean.
Disliked Massive gravel road through the whole campsite so really dusty, there is only one ladies toilet (the rest are portaloos) and the toilets REALLY smell.

Another excellent stay
Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)
Liked Friendly team. Well laid out site that’s secure and dog friendly.
Great facilities with the pub/restaurant on site.
Very hot weather and demand on the cleaning staff was big due to the ‘full house’ but they worked very hard.

Average
Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)
Liked Private pitches
Disliked We stayed before a few years ago and really liked it this time was different the Smell by the toilets from septic tank or drains was unbearable didnt feel clean when having a shower.
Only 1 toilet which was is not enough for the site especially when there is a lot of tents including us during our stay. Cleaners shut off mens as cleaning if thats what you can call it! Prime time on the morning when people want to get ready and go out
Fag nubs all over our pitch they must not get checked after people check out not the best especially when we have a young child. Some people didn't respect noise levels late at night and very early morning.
Washing up water was cold
Time to go in and out of site which didn't bother us too much but way at another time
Take ages to let you in

Camp Tuna ticktac was ere 2026
Non-electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked To start even before we set off on our holiday our group got a few phones calls to say we could actually save money if we wanted which i thought was very helpful and kind
loved the price!
our group stayed in the pitches right at the other end away from the smelly toilets and sewage smell and was very happy with how safe our group was for all the children and also the shade we got from the beating sun in the morning and day
soon as we arrived there was massive water jugs in the bar that were always full with ice cold water for anyone to have for free which was just amazing to see.
Disliked only complaints from me personally was the noise late at night from the cars , tanks , aeroplanes , trucks and motorbikes wizzing up and down the main road , be warned .. very loud
and secondly the smell , the horrible smell of hot slimey sewage eachday around the toilet blocks , drinking water stations and porta toilets
BUT every single day a massive sewage truck turned up too take away the smell which was very good to see , at least they were actively trying to fix the problem and that was very clear to see . also everyday there was like 4 cleaners that came out to clean everything like twice a day.
our group had to do alot of 20 - 40 min drives eachday to actually get near anything ( beaches , main POIs , towns )
if you stay here make sure you have multiple cars and drivers for the week as there is alot of driving oh and whole entire playlist of katseye too very important!

Honestly I’d avoid this place.
Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)
Liked Pitches were private, and WiFi Honestly that’s the only decent thing about this site.
Disliked 1 toilet, 2 showers for each gender for the whole camp site which I think is around 20 pitches. The showers were ice cold, not cleaned either, I had to buy my own cleaning supplies and cleaned before me & my children showered. Pitch size stated ‘unlimited’ however my tent barely fit on it which meant my children had no where to play. I even gave my tent measurements when I booked. Tried to complain to the bar staff but they didn’t care. Had to ring a bell to be let into the camp site which is great because of safety but waiting over 5/10 minutes each time isn’t great. No one came around to even ask how the stay was going. Wasps nests in the separation hedges, 2 out of 4 children got stung. Pictures are definitely deceiving on the website. We were booked for a week but ended up leaving days early because of everything.
