What customers say
This tidy site's got a stunner of a quiet spot, with top countryside and sea views, just a stroll from a dog-friendly beach. Generous pitches and top facilities (hot showers, USB charging) are a winner. Families love the farm animals and play areas. Most reckon it's a "hidden gem" with friendly hosts and a chill vibe, though some found it pricey and noted facility quirks.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
A great campsite overall – we’ll definitely be back.
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked We had a fantastic stay at this very well-kept site. The pitches were spacious, everyone was respectful, and the fire pit hire (with wood) was very reasonably priced. Facilities were clean, with plenty of hot water and a simple coin system that worked perfectly. The location couldn’t have been better – just a ten-minute walk to the beach – and the kids loved meeting the animals in the garden field. A really lovely campsite, and we’ll definitely be returning!
Disliked The drop loos were a bit smelly but that comes with the territory of it being a relatively wild camping site. The site can be quite exposed to the wind when it's blowing from the north/east which made setting up the tent difficult, but again, nothing that the site can help.

Liked Lovely location.
The effort that had been put into the facilities to make it a welcoming and comfortable outdoor experience was greatly appreciated. Thank you 😊☀️
Disliked Pitch a bit close to main entrance would have preferred further up. Parked diagonally in front of tent to stop others potentially using to reverse into as a turning space.

I would return to this site.
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked The site was small and generally quiet, the view was lovely from our side, looking over the field and watching the tractors at work.
The site has about 6-7 fridge freezers to store your items which was really handy, they could have done with a wipe down inside every so often as they were a bit dirty.
The local beach was lovely and only about 2 minute drive away.
The site kindly pitched us further away from other tents like I requested due to sen child's needs, so this was appreciated.
Bins were emptied daily or every other day.
I saw the lady who owns the site come round cleaning the site up and wiping sinks down ect
Disliked The toilets 😭 I really wasn't a fan, the smell was quite strong and I just couldn't use them.
However lots of people were so it's probably down to personal preference.
The spiders in the shower, I just wasn't a fan of sharing my shower with someone who has 8 legs, i prefer to shower alone, other than that the shower was nice and warm.
Not the sites issue but the roads 😱 be aware the roads are very tight and you'll feel like a yoyo as you'll go so far forward only to reverse the same distance back to let someone pass 😭
Equally not the sites issue but if you have an electric car bring your cars electric cable with you as so many of the chargers are bring your own or you'll have to travel further out to charge.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Offset by the quintessentially picturesque Devon countryside, with its close proximity to beautiful sandy beaches, this is a perfectly placed campsite.
A wonderfully managed site, with an abundance of essential and useful information provided both before hand via email and also onsite, meant for a very pleasant camping experience. The essential facilities provided - toilets, showers, fridge/freezers, USB chargers, recycling - were all well maintained and perfectly functional. Even with the campsite at full capacity, there was always space in the fridge, available USB chargers and no queuing for toilets or showers on our behalf. Additionally, the wood sold on site was the best burning we have used.
The generously sized pre allocated pitches were very much appreciated and we found all the other campers to be exceptionally amiable and respectful. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. My family would definitely return to this area and campsite again, and we highly recommend others to visit.

Nice little site

Liked Lovely site. Basic, but everything you need. Nice area with goats and chickens. Short walk down a quiet road into Thurlestone which has a lovely dog friendly beach!

Super spot!! Lovely campsite in a beautiful location.
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Really well organised campsite with excellent hot showers. Dog friendly and so close to the beach! Beautiful sheep and goats. Very kid friendly with lots of children playing in both fields. The Rock Box by the beach is fab too - thanks for the recommendation!
Disliked Rude and dangerous drivers on the road to the beach - not the campsites fault AT ALL but just noting to take care as you walk to the beach as they zoom by like it’s a race track and despite being as tucked into the hedge as possible we were clipped by 2 cars passing at speed on the tiny, tiny little lane. Would be grateful if dog owners were allowed to use the safe route to the beaches through the marsh - obviously with dogs on leads!
