What customers say
This peaceful, secluded campsite offers spacious, flat pitches in a beautiful rural location on the edge of Dartmoor. Visitors praised the exceptional cleanliness of the facilities, including the showers and toilets, and the availability of hot water. A large communal tent for use in bad weather was a popular feature. Owners are frequently described as friendly and helpful. While basic, the site provides a comfortable and quiet getaway. A slightly larger entrance sign could be beneficial.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Large open and mostly flat pitch with well mowed grass. A large mess tent for use if weather turns nasty. Flushing loos and large sink to wash up in. The showers were very good and roomy and hot water is sufficient dependant on sunshine as it is solar power.
The hosts are friendly and helpful.
Quite secluded and peaceful spot on the Eastern side of Dartmoor only a very short drive from Moretonhampstead.
I can recommend the Union Inn for food.
Basic camping without all the noises of a big campsite but enough to make it comfortable.
Disliked Nothing to dislike

Excellent!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Jenny and John are very friendly! They helped us a lot. Our car burned down after pitching up. They lent us the spare bedroom in their house, gave us a lift to a restaurant and back and even gave us a lift to the train station.
Disliked We hadn’t had the time to fully enjoy the campsite as our stay was cut short.

Liked Heel veel ruimte en natuur in een prachtige omgeving. Fijne plek voor kampeerders die van basic houden. We like! Heerlijke tijd gehad (4 nachten). Wij verbleven in de ‘boomgaard’. Ideale plek voor hangmat en een kampvuurtje. Dank aan de aardige eigenaren voor hun gastvrijheid.

Liked Excellent field for pitching tent - very flat. Quiet location with lovely views. Facilities were clean & excellent with hot shower rooms and toilets.
Adequate wash-up area too.

Great site
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked There are only 2 showers and 2 toilets at this site, but they are excellent. Clean, plumbed toilets and hot showers. There’s one big open field with lots of flat ground and one wooded field suitable for tents. Lots of nice walks nearby, some very narrow lanes if you’re in a campervan! We had a great weekend, we almost had the place to ourselves and the big mess tent was very handy when it rained.
