What customers say
Ashbourne Woods offers a peaceful, natural woodland escape with a strong emphasis on a "wild camping" feel. Visitors praise the friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, and the secluded, spacious pitches set amongst the trees. The site is well-located for exploring Devon, and many appreciate the option of having campfires. While generally well-received, some guests noted that the shower facilities could benefit from modernisation.

Electric optional grass tent pitch
Liked Incredible location, the woods were beautiful to wander through, comfortable pitch, relaxing, clean, everyone was very friendly. Although we have no kids, the place seemed very family-friendly. If you have a tent pitch, check out is at 11:30am, which was great. The site is also very dog-friendly and the facilities are good.
Disliked The snack machines only taking coins was a small inconvenience. The ladies showers you had to keep pressing, and there was no shelf for toiletries, but this is very minor.
