Forrest Glamp 1 bedroom on-site touring caravan
Liked: The kids and adults loved the bus! Friendly welcome from the owners on arrival. We arrived just before storm Ciarán and the bus was directly in its path however the bus was in a sheltered part of the campsite and Ciarán passed over us without even rocking the bus!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: So calm and relaxing, lovely grounds and walk by the stream. The pigs on site are so funny. There are 4 cats who love a fuss, 1 gave us a vip tour around the pont :-). facilities are great and clean. Has a communal area with sofas fridge and amazing throne toilets. Theres such a cute dog on site called jasper and so calm for anyone not liking dogs. Be careful as he loves cheese :P Owners are so down to earth and lovely and happy to have a chat. No need to take a bbq or fire pit as these are on the pitch which is amazing, Logs can be brought for £5 a bucket, bargin! along with essentials and marshmallows for the fire. Not far from okehampton if you need additional supplies. Overall relaxing few nights with mum for some downtime, which was well needed.
Disliked: Just the road down as very bumpy, if you have a lowered car be very careful and slow. Owners cant do much about as the rain keeps washing the road away with the rain :-( If you get the right side of the track youl be ok, as i found out on the way back :-)

Liked: The welcoming, comfortable, calm and relaxed magical feel. Good, clean facilities. The willow screening between pitches. The abundance of birdsong, the freedom to wander through the trees, the beautiful starry night sky with no light pollution. Fire gazing with the firepit and the incredibly friendly pets who love a lap and a fuss. The honesty shop has some essentials and well thought ideas for additional treats and is really well priced. The communal space, a nice touch! The fairy Garden, even as adults we enjoyed exploring it! No WiFi 👏🏼 but good phone signal so can be used if needed. The whole place has little bits and pieces everywhere if you bother to look for them and there are lots of small really nicely thought out touches that make a big difference. Great location! We visited The Junction Inn for lunch which is 10 mins away, great place thoroughly recommend.
Disliked: The likes thoroughly out way any of the following comments but my only thoughts were that some people might find some of the pitches a bit slopey and the driveway is long, narrow and bumpy but it wouldn't stop me coming back.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely set up, I like the way the tent pitches are separated with willow "fedges". Lots of open space with interesting features and also a good balance of wooded areas with little walks and more....interesting features! I camped alone this time as I was in the area for a business workshop. My kids would have loved it, I may have to visit again with the family sometime!
Disliked: The shower temperature was a little temperamental, no biggie, but there was definitely a knack to getting a steady warm shower! 🚿 Some people (not me) might not like the half a mile of bumpity bumpity track leading to the campsite - it really tests your suspension! 😂
