Treacle Valley Campsite

lovely quiet, laid back site, in a rural, farmed valley spacious gently sloping field with pitch where you feel happy ethos. Clean large facility block with plenty of hot showers and hot water at the taps. Ideal for families (room to run and play area) hikers, cyclists etc. The perfect location for exploring South Devon, close to beaches and stunning coastline, English Riviera towns, steam railway and boat trips. Helpful Owners family farm so local knowledge, swimmer, walker, own guide to beaches. Good phone, data connectivity for those unable to suspend their disbelief that independent self reliance is possible. Just a nice place to unwind.

It rained and my tent leaked, hardly their fault, but did help resolve problem, thanks again.

For a basic site it very good
Great views in lovely countryside and peaceful
Plenty of space
The manager was friendly

It is basic - there free showers, but not much room in cubicle so clothes, towels etc will get wet.
Nothing else to add

Reasonably quiet. Has friendly staff, free showers and anytime check-in and check-out

Toilet facilities were very basic. Showers, although unlimited, has nowhere to keep your dry clothes etc away from the shower water apart from two door hooks, leading to spray etc hitting bags/clothes/towels/shoes. The lights in the toilet block seem to be on all night long whereas perhaps a motion-sensor controlled light would be better. This, we believe, may lead to flying insects coming in through the permanently open door and making cleaning more of an issue than it could be. Perhaps a revamp of the toilet block could be considered to reduce the number of toilet cubicles and to enable enlargement of the shower cubicles?

Fabulous place, very friendly host, excellent accomodation in the Horse Box, it includes everything you need.

It could have some more amenities like a restaurant or food stall in case you don't want to go to the town for shopping.

The bell tent we hired was stunning. Well organised, helpful owner, beautiful site with amazing views, good information provided about site and local attractions, shop provided alternative dietary options (important).

Site was pleasant, situated within easy access to Torbay area.

There was a large group of people (adults) behind us with families and they were loud until 12 and after and then started again at 6am. Also they had a dog tied up barking ALL day Saturday so much it became hoarse. On other sites there would have been a warden who intervened to ask them to be a little more responsible or to suggest they walk their dog and be quiet at the ends /start of the day.

I will go back - just hope they aren't there !!

Clean, great view, playground for kids the shop was super handy and the staff was really helpful.

The view

The noise

Nice spacious pitches.
Ideal location, very close to amenities but felt nice and rural.
Lovely views.
Good, clean facilities.

Personal preference about the roads into the site - very narrow and steep country lanes. Others will likely not be bothered by this and it's just a personal preference rather than something wrong with the site.
