What customers say
Spacious, peaceful campsite on a golf course with a relaxed vibe and friendly owners. Flexible pitches, on-site golf, and proximity to local attractions are highlights. Some mention washroom cleanliness/water pressure concerns, though others found them fine. Management is addressing issues.

Power optional grass tent campsite
Liked Malcom was very welcoming, even though I got stuck in traffic on the way down he was very understanding of us arriving late. A lovely campsite and very easy to get to places like sidmouth and Exeter. Nice area to camp and it was nice to have proper toilets and showers available.

Will defo be back!
Power optional grass tent campsite
Liked Flat, clean campsite, friendly, helpful owners. Toilets and showers clean. Plenty of space for your pitch. You choose where you pitch. Loved how there was no set check in/out times…. So after a long drive - I was there and set up for 10.30am so I could enjoy the rest of my day.
Superb location for the beaches (just a 20 min walk away) and the south west coastal path.
Ideal for walks. I will definitely be back!
Disliked Nothing! This site is spot on!

Liked We enjoyed our 1 night stay here a few nights ago ~ We found the owners to be very helpful, and welcoming; we were shown around the campsite and to the facilities, and were even given toilet paper too! What's not to like?!

Disliked The owner wasn't very helpful.
Said they had WIFI when I booked, nope!
The toilets and showers were a shambles! They didn't even supply toilet paper???
I stayed on a Saturday night and wasn't warned about a party they were having!

Power optional grass RV campsite
Liked Really quiet site, very flat, loads of room for the kids and dog to roam. Our friends little own really enjoyed seeing all the vehicles about, watching the driving range and collecting the golf balls. The owners are really sweet and will happily have a chat and help where they can..
Disliked There is only one shower block which was a way from our pitch. The block and the stand alone toilet/shower needs an update. Especially the stand alone toilet where the light didn’t work and you couldn’t lock the door (unless you wanted to get locked in!) saying that, this is a small thing and didn’t take away from our camp.
