What customers say
Ashbourne Woods offers a peaceful woodland escape with great privacy. Spacious, treed sites, often with fire pits. Staff are friendly & helpful, facilities are clean (showers/toilets), and the on-site shop is convenient. Guests love the natural beauty, exploration opportunities, and local attractions. Mostly positive, with some noting dated facilities or minor noise. Many want to return.

Our fourth visit to this beautiful site and we’ll be back next year!
Power optional grass tent campsite
Liked We loved being in nature on this beautiful and quiet site. Being able to walk a short distance to the local village pub is great.
Disliked Not a dislike but the ladies showers could do with improving. The shower heads are small and don’t work especially well, you also have to keep constantly pushing the button to run the shower. Could also do with some shelving to put shower items on, there are a few small hooks but these aren’t sufficient.

Amazing woodland site - highly recommend
Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked What an amazing site. We were in campervan pitch 2 and it was great. In a small section with 2 other pitches which were empty for some of our stay - our pitch backed onto the woods and was lovely and peaceful but only a short distance from the toilets and showers.
Shared communal areas were great (we could even watch the euro finals on the tv with other campers which was fun). Toilets and showers were basic but clean and never had long queues despite it being school holidays. There were microwaves, plugs to charge your phone, washing machines etc. everything you might need.
Plenty of walks in the woods with the dog - We loved the tent pitches in the trees and would go for them next time if we came without the campervan.
Lots to do in the area - we visited Buckfast Abbey, Totnes & Torquay, and had lots of lovely walks. We had a great time and would definitely return again. Nothing to fault at all.
