Liked: Great campsite for us. Clean toilets and hot water in a shower. Sheltered communal area with gas cooker and tables and everything you need to make a meal if it's pouring down. Looks lovely in the nighttime when fairy lights are on. Would come back.
Disliked: The only thing we thought about, more as a feedback, we wish there was a seprate bathroom sink, not together with a toilet in a cabin. Difficult to wash face and brush teeth.

Liked: We loved the size of the camping field and how few were on it. The facilities were fabulous too, clean, tidy and had everything we needed. We arrived and we left without anyone visiting us, which was fab! We had a wave from the quad bike, but other than that the hosts left us alone. We had our dogs with us and they aren’t great with people or other dogs coming over. That’s Terriers for you! We never heard a peep out of them though, they were totally settled during our stay. We found the area and lanes superb for dog walking and we would definitely visit again.

Liked: Despite the awful weather, our stay at Beech Tree Campsite was everything we could have hoped for. A quiet rural location, plenty of space (there were only 2 or 3 tents at any one time), clean toilets and hot showers and a very friendly and helpful host. Jenny did everything she could to help us offering to tumble dry our sleeping bag after it had got wet, delivering fire wood for the fire pit and helping to restart 3 cars when they had flat batteries!! The campsite is beautiful, hidden away down some quiet country lanes and surrounded by beautiful scenery. We would definitely return here again.

Liked: Fantastic campsite about 1km from Blackingstone Tor & 3 miles from Moretonhampstead. Great base for exploring Dartmoor, really feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. (Great stargazing!) Clean facilities, lovely host, would visit again
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Lovely location, really peaceful, nothing but the sound of sheep and birds. The field is big, mostly flat and is close to a local town with a few shops. The converted solar showers and toilets were very clean, lovely and warm with good pressure. There is only 2 of each, not a problem for us as we ended up being the only people there most of our stay however that may be a problem if the camp was full (not sure how many people they accommodate at once).
Disliked: Flies… so many flies!! Unable to comfortably sit outside as there is 100’s buzzing around you. Not sure if this is a normal thing or due to the weather etc… pack lots of citrus candles!! A place to freeze freezer blocks would be helpful
