Gidleigh Wood

Positiv A wonderful, peaceful stay . Site was set in woodland with beautiful views along the forest tracks perfect for dog walks. Very friendly owners. Will definitely be back.

Positiv The simplicity and ease of everything. Mark has yet again done it v.well indeed. This time I bought my kids so they really got stuck into the off grid camping. Lovely wild swimming nearby too.

Positiv Wonderful, peaceful spot nestled in the trees. Feels remote with access to beautiful walks on Dartmoor but also only around 2 miles to Chagford for a pint and a small shop.

Shout out to Mark, the friendly owner, for his helpfulness and resourcefulness - we forgot the pump for our airbed and he made one out of a milk bottle top and a canister of compressed air! Above and beyond what we expected.

Compost loos and shower also v clean and well-maintained.

Positiv Fantastic campsite! Beautiful locations and very relaxed. The owners were fantastic and very attentive. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to return in the future. Loved being able to swim in the river too!

Negativ I wake up early so it wasn’t and issue for me, but I could see how having 1 shower could be an issue when it’s busy.

Positiv Wonderful peaceful location with the sounds of bird to wake up to. So good not being able to hear any roads!
Great location for getting up on your the high moor with excellent walks from the site. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to explore this area.

Positiv The big dark sky at night was amazing up there on the edge of Dartmoor nestled among a small forest. The owners were very kind and laid back, they furnished us with as much kindling for our bbq and fire pit, and some logs to get us started each day for free! It was peaceful and really well managed. Lots of walks in all directions to villages, pubs and the moor just a few minutes away. We reckon we’ll be back next year. Thankyou Mark and Wife!

Negativ Nothing to dislike!

Positiv Mark and Karen are amazing hosts. The site is a bit tricky to find… but omg what a stunning place! Very basic, compost toilet and a shower, sink and recycling area.
Walks within the woods take you to the river- wish I had prepared and then be able to go in for a swim.

Negativ Roads getting g to the site… but that’s Devon for you.
