Liked: SO cheap for what it was, such good value for money. Liked that we were able to pitch where we wanted and there were no designated spots. Facilities were clean and had everything we needed. Happy with the location- short drive from town, few local pubs, had no issue with taxis. Charging points were very useful

Liked: Treacle Valley Campsite is located in such a pretty part of Devon, located in close proximity to some of the seaside towns and Devonshire coves. The campsite showers were always hot. There was enough toilets for the campsite and these were regularly cleaned. The owner was very hands on and a fountain of knowledge for the surrounding area.
Disliked: The grounds were uneven and finding a flat pitch was extremely difficult. The play facilities were limited and in a small area which seemed to have been monopolised by a large camp of a family. A few more showers would have been useful. Limiting large groups would have also enhanced the experience and reduced the noise at night and the rubbish left. (Not owners or campsite facility fault but still part of the experience we had - I understand why campsites in the Lake District do not allow groups of campers - seems a few ruin for all!)

Liked: Location was great, views were amazing and the facilities were good
Disliked: Unruly guests that weren't kept in check, playing loud music all night and into the early hours of the morning. The cleanliness of the facilities wasn't great but this was again due to the same unruly guests, the hosts were regularly cleaning rhe facilities, it just didn't last. The hosts should have addressed the group spoiling it for everyone else

Liked: I had the most idyllic stay at this campsite. Everyone was beautifully clean and the host very friendly. I particularly liked the fire pit and supplied logs (payment via honesty box) and the ability to pay anything via bank transfer. A short, but hilly, walk to the local shops and pub. Excellent welcome information supplied
Disliked: A comment did other travellers, not the campsite! Please be considerate with loud music at night - although the host visits to ensure there isn’t noise, once they go it’s about respect for your fellow campers!

Liked: It was a lovely campsite, the staff were great. Coffee was delicious and everyone was very friendly. Toilets were clean and there was no pressure to rush on the last day. I would definitely return. I have no faults. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would recommend to all my friends. Advice though to those without a car, there is a steep walk to civilisation but that did not stop us from making the trip daily. There is a co op and Tesco at the top plus a bus stop for Torquay. So the location was remote but close enough for us to do everything we wanted to do whilst we were there. Cannot recommend enough.
