Liked: Beautiful views, peaceful and remote. Great toilet facilities - private, clean and separate toilets for men and women. Lovely bottled water available for drinking and water available on tap for everything else. Hayley was very welcoming and keen to ensure we had a great stay, answering queries before our visit and popping by to make sure we were OK on site and had everything we needed. Even Misty the farm cat made a friendly appearance to keep us company in our van one evening! Great site, would recommend and will certainly be back. Many thanks Haley and team. Best, Michelle

Liked: Beautiful location on the edge od Dartmoor. It seems very remote but not far from several pubs and the main road to Cornwall. Toilets and shower. Hayley brought us logs for our fire pit at no extra cost. Dark sky location and very close to wild swimming opportunity in the Shilley Pool.
Disliked: All good.

Liked: Absolutely cannot rate this place highly enough. Hayley was so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. She even helped us when we ran low on Firelighters and wood! Toilets absolutely spotless and a lovely hot shower. Stunning location. We will absolutely be returning.
Disliked: Not a dislike but more to make young families aware. It's pretty remote and not ideal for young families who like activities whilst camping. It's great for walking and exploring the moors, but nearest town of Okehampton was a good 15 minutes drive. Pub isn't walking distance with children. We absolutely loved it though with an 11,9 & 4 year old.
