Absolut nicht zu empfehlen
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Nothing , nix, absolut nix
Disliked Der dreckigste Campingplatz, den wir über pitchup gebucht haben. Überall Dreck, direkt nebenan ein Kuhstall, der dermaßen gestunken hat. Die ‚Wiese‘ hügelig, selbst mit Keilen kaum eine gerade Fläche hinzubekommen.
Die Sanitäranlagen dreckig, der Wäscheraum war ein Witz, alte Wäsche in der Waschmaschine.

Awful
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Lovely view
Disliked Everything was awful, not one flat ground, people had there dogs off lead all the time, even confronted another camper to ask her to put dog on lead as was pooing everywhere and I got told my dogs better off a lead!! Then people were driving round at 22:30 and shouting and kids running round screaming, we were supposed to stay 3 nights but we left after one!

Beautiful views but loud,no respect from other campers,uneven ground
Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)
Liked The lady that met us in reception was lovely, warm and welcoming. The toilets/showers were pretty decent. The site is a short drive from several beaches, Paignton Zoo and the town centre whilst also being rural. Stunning views.
Disliked The site doesn’t seem to be monitored in regards to their rules, this could be a really lovely campsite but numerous families with kids running riot until past 11pm and from very early in the morning, large groups of adults partying until gone 2am, people walking around drinking alcohol, lots of loud swearing, glass bottles thrown on the grass and in the entrance to the site which could be dangerous not only for children, adults but cars driving into the site ruin what it could be.
Extremely uneven ground all over, couldn’t cook and two nights of rolling off beds because we couldn’t find any spot flat enough for them. Rubbish not picked up, Ashes from previous fires dumped everywhere. As a working farm you’ll need to be a heavy sleeper or have a 3-4am wake up call from the cows.
‘Influencers’ arrived after 11pm in a convoy, very loud and speeding around the field with no regards for safety of others, and they did the same whilst filming very loudly the following morning despite young children running around.
The negatives are a shame as it has the potential to be a really lovely place to camp.
