What customers say
This campsite is praised for its stunning location on the Dartington estate, offering peace, quiet, and easy access to gardens, Totnes, and the River Dart. Visitors highlight the spacious pitches, clean facilities, and helpful staff. Some reviewers noted the distance to shower blocks and occasional issues with shower cleanliness or temperature. Parking not being directly next to pitches and the booking process were also mentioned as minor drawbacks.

Wild field, vague instructions, no staff
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Peace and quiet
Disliked I do not normally leave a bad review, but this site was not for me. I was tucked away in the corner of a field which is fine, but it was a long walk to the shower block over what I can describe as a meadow field .. there was no track or a path where the grass had been cut shorter and my clothing was soaked once I walked to the toilet / shower block , I also ended up with bites on my legs and can only assume from something on the long grass. I have been travelling the UK using many sites from professional camp sites to similar style fields .. but have not come across anything with the grass this length. I would not return tof this site ..
