What customers say

Spacious, well-kept pitches in a wildflower meadow. Clean facilities & friendly hosts are big hits. Lots of wildlife & great location for exploring. A covered dishwashing area & shared freezer would be nice.

Shirley W.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked What a beautiful spot this is. Really well laid out with very spacious flat pitches cut out of the meadow grass. Surrounded by trees and very peaceful. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. As a solo traveller I felt very comfortable. The facilities are top notch for this kind of wild camping. Showers powerful and stay on (no 30 second timers!!). Loos spotlessly clean. There’s also washing ip facilities and plenty of recycling facilities. Although this was a short visit this time, I could see there are some walking routes from the site. Firepits and wood are available to hire too.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked Spacious pitches, not overcrowded, clean toilets and showers, very handy for towns/villages, and beaches in area. Feels very rural but close to amenities. This is hands down the best site I’ve stayed at in the world just down to the fact you don’t feel hemmed in with other campers. The forest around the site and the sections of long grass that divide the sites. Absolutely loved the fire pits which I took full advantage of and the manager on site was a great bloke, very friendly, and a pleasure to deal with, especially after I got a bit of a scare due to pitch up getting my name wrong and initially thinking I didn't have a booking. I would 100% stay at this place again when in Devon and recommend it to everyone.

Liked Loads of space, pitches are large. It is nice that they are separate from one-another by long grassy patches, it gives you your own space. The facilities are great, clean and tidy. The host is friendly and approachable and very helpful.

Liked Everything, great peaceful place and very clean toilets and showers.

Disliked Was fine this time as sunny dry weather but feel having the washing up sink area covered up would be a great idea for when weather is bad.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked We liked everything about this campsite: the very spacious pitches so that no-one was close to each other, the surrounding woodland, the peaceful atmosphere, the clean facilities and the very friendly hosts. We saw that the site had been sold (at least that's the impression we got from the real estate sign with 'sold' across it) but we hope the site will not be closed down. Definitely a place we would return to.

Liked Lovely quiet, clean, dog friendly site. Toilets and shower block,also very clean (and apparently solar powered 👍🏻). Large pitch for our van and awning so plenty of space between 'campers'. Plenty of space to exercise our dog. Friendly site manager

Local attractions

Fancy a good hike? Pull on your outdoor gear and make a beeline for Dartmoor National Park (35 minutes’ drive). The craggy landscape has heaps of walking trails and wandering Dartmoor ponies, as well as the occasional Neolithic tomb and medieval farmhouse. Finding lush outdoor scenery is rather easy, what with all of the gorgeous scenery around the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Alpaca trekking (10 minutes) is a unique way to take it in (and spend a couple of hours with a bunch of - possibly - hilarious animals). Donkeys provide the dramatics at The Donkey Sanctuary (10 minutes) in Sidmouth; plus, there’s the bonus that they’re being very well cared-for thanks to the funding of visitors. Shoot down the log flume or pay a visit to the family of meerkats at Crealy Theme Park & Resort (20 minutes) too.
