Liked It’s close to some nice campsites to stay at, go to Teign Valley Campsite or Ashbourne Woods instead. Do NOT stay here
Disliked Absolutely awful place. Left within 30 minutes of arriving. Thankfully only a 15 minute drive to another lovely site (Teign Valley Campsite, I’d advise everyone to go there instead)
I have stayed all over the UK and Europe as far east as Hungary, never have I been somewhere I felt I had to leave immediately.
This, as someone else mentioned is clearly a travellers site, whilst inherently there is nothing wrong with that, I would not advise staying. I showered and left immediately.
-On arrival there were children screaming at each other, whilst another continuously honked a car horn
-Had a shower where I heard someone spit on the floor outside my cubicle
-Shower had broken tiles
-Roofing vans and white vans driving around the site with dance music blasting at full volume
-Non stop shouting
-Rubbish and general crap all over the place
-Generally felt uncomfortable for the entire 30 minute stay, the entire environment felt off
Truth told, there are some amazing sites within 15 minutes of here, just book at one of them instead, Teign Valley Campsite is cheaper and well kept, relaxed, in a beautiful location. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
This campsite should not be available to book on Pitchup, I have lost trust in this website following this. The campsite should be removed immediately.

Its a travellers site commercial vehicles coming and going
Electric hardstanding pitch
Liked Very large pitches nicely done with modern brick hard standing and boarders with shrubs on 3 sides plus a picnic bench on each pitch.
Disliked I didn’t use the facilities myself but my husband did and said the was only one loo roll in one of the gents toilets he said they weren’t the best but had seen far worse. The chemical waste could of been better but it did the job.Of an evening we got about three times the smell of cannabis and again in the morning which really isn’t a very nice smell to put up with.

Avoid at all costs
Anonymous Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nothing
Disliked Drive into what was clearly a traveller / traveller run site. The camping pitch looked terrible as well as broken toys everywhere and generally felt unclean and unsafe. We we drove straight back out again and stayed at the Dartmoor half way inn around 5 minutes away. Highly recommend the Dartmoor halfway inn if you make the mistake of booking Lemonford

Electric hardstanding pitch
Liked Location to parks beach town shops not over the top on rules left alone to do your own thing. Staff friendly enough to help you settle in.
Disliked Water points some not working would be nice to wash hands after emptying caravan loo. Shower blocks toilets not the best needs work and cleaning and doors putting back on. No shop no play park. Lots of roof tiles and building site waste dumped in long piles not fenced off dangerous

Absolutely nothing.…
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Absolutely nothing.
Disliked Campsite is a complete sh!t hole.
Rubish every where. Water bottles, crisp bags , dirty child nappies...and so on, completely disgusting 🤮🤮🤮 You'll have to clean you pitch before putting your tent up.
Shower and toilets Facilities disgusting, again, rubish and dirty, used sooks and underwear everywhere, it was only clean once in 3 days...
Ppl shouting and playing loud music until midnight. Feral kids trowing crap and fighting all the time. Electric hook up on my pitch was lose from the stand and live wires exposed just waiting for someone to touch them and get electrocuted.
Close to main road, so very very noisy all night.
Honestly just don't go.
Worse campsite I have been 🤢🤮🤢🤮
