Power optional grass and gravel caravan site
Liked Peace and quiet, great facilities and location, friendly team on hand to help. Good sized pitches and a nice mix of locations on site. Convenient for exploring the Devonshire countryside and local towns.
Disliked Some touring pitches are overshadowed by very large trees....great if you are wanting to be camping in the woods but choose carefully for caravans.....we had a lot of things falling on the roof overnight!
Great site, very well organised and maintained. We will visit again.
