What customers say
Top marks for friendly owners, clean amenities & cracking views. Spacious sites, a dog field & a cool working airfield are big hits. Shop, games room & weekend grub are bonuses. A few note the tricky access road & want shower upgrades, but most rave and wanna come back!

Liked Lovely hosts, really friendly and helpful - even offered us a gas hob when we had a problem with our cooking equipment. Clean and accessible. Although I was worried about the number of showers, none of my family had to que or wait. Games room was a great addition and we had a great view of the run way and saw a plane take off! Although the electricity was only 6amps (to much for a nor.al kettle) our hob and ninja bbq worked fine.

Our 2nd visit and will definitely be back.
Powered grass site
Liked A chilled and welcoming atmosphere.
Owners are very hands on and always about if needed. They work really hard, throughout the campsite.
With having 2 teenagers, it was great having a little shop and games room, the washing facilities came in handy too.
Pitches are a great size, which was great with having a dog, who loved it there and was very welcomed.
We found it very peaceful at night time. Slept brilliantly.
Bonus having the pop up pizza evenings and bar.
Although campsite was full, never had to wait for a shower/toilet.
Watching the planes taking off and landing was a very enjoyable experience, making the campsite extremely unique.
Location is perfect, whilst there we had a day in each: Seaton, Beer, Lyme Regis and Sidmouth.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Lovely big field, good clean facilities, nice two mile walk though woods to Branscombe Beach, there is an occasional bus back from Sidmouth which stops just outside the campsite if you want to walk there and bus back. Fun of a light aircraft landing once in a while at the runway, very safely partitioned from the main sight.
Disliked I wish we'd order our pizza earlier - sold out that evening!
