The Heart of Exmoor

Liked Fantastic location. Uninterrupted views from South East to South West. Makes for superb star gazing when the skies clear.

Composting toilet significantly more pleasant than a standard portaloo 😁

From the manager: It was lovely to meet you and catch up during the evening. I'm so pleased it was everything that you wanted!

Liked Beautiful remote location. Nice views over the North Devon hills. Quiet and peaceful. Great views of the night sky. Free firepit with wood available to purchase. Composting toilet was clean.

Just be wary of the midges in summer, as they were out in force and biting.

From the manager: Perfect and simple overview of the campsite, exactly what we are trying to achieve and love the photos! Good bit of advice about the midges, we've only seen them for a few evenings this Summer - get a lovely fire lit as the sun is setting as they don't like smoke. No worries when the stars are out, as they will be gone!

Liked Wow, stunning scenery and surroundings. Such a peaceful site.
Serena was a great host, always available to contact , came up to meet and greet all guests each evening which was a lovely personal touch.
It was all very clean/tidy.
We will definitely return.
Thank you Serena x

From the manager: Thank you for such a lovely review, I love catching up with everyone and it was great to meet you. So pleased you enjoyed everything about the site. I look forward to seeing you again one day maybe!

Liked Really quiet place, beautiful views, owner was super helpful.

Disliked Drive down to the camp site was a bit rough, especially for my lowered car.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: It was lovely to catch up with you everyday and see you glowing after a peaceful time away. The short track to the campsite is maintained every year, but not ideal for lowered vehicles. Thanks for your comments.

Liked We loved the peaceful surroundings and friendliness of the owner (Serena), aswell as the other campers.

There were free firepits to use and logs weren't expensive to buy onsite either.

Loads of room and the eggs were amazing.

Disliked Although we managed to get down the lane in fairly low sports cars, it took a fair bit of navigating so as not to tear our undertrays off.

Im not marking the site down because of this though.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write such a detail review. I will pass on the reviews about the eggs to my son - Harry! The short track down to the campsite is not ideal for lowered cars, so thank you for pointing this out. I hope you had a lovely time away with your children driving you around!

Liked Fantastic site, lovely an peaceful with lots of space. The toilet facilities where a plus along with options for a fire pit and wood. The views are stunning and if you get a clear sky during the night then it becomes even more spectacular with an amazing veiw of the stars. We where lucky enough to see two shooting stars and several star constellations.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely comments and taking the time to add photos. I'm so pleased you got enjoy being at the heart of a dark sky reserve. Have a fab Summer.

Liked Brilliant communication from the owners. Text and email so the information wasn’t missed which was very helpful. Very friendly people.

Fantastic compost loo. Probably the best I’ve ever seen. Equipped with 2 seats (helpful when travelling with children) and very spacious so you’re not bumping into everything when you’re in there with your child. A box inside the loo for charging your phone and to provide light for the toilet. Smelled very fresh and was super clean. Plenty of spare toilet roll.

Great location. 5 minute walk and you’re on the moor!! Very close to Exford for pick your own organic blue berries and a great park for the children.

Loved the facilities for fires which is a priority for us when camping. Bricks and slabs available. Spare fire pits available to borrow and wood available to buy from an honestly box or BACs details.

We didn’t buy any eggs as we’d brought our own but that would have been great if we’d stayed longer.

Where we pitched up was very gently sloping so was fine for us and didn’t lead to any slipping sidewards in our tent.

Beautiful hilltop with a cracking view. Lovely stay. Will DEFINITELY stay again when there’s another meteor shower.

Liked What A place!!
Fantastic scenery, clean compost toilets, very peaceful and fantastic owners!! All this for a fantastic price!
I absolutely loved the stay here and would hesitate to book again if I was in the area!


We purchased some of Harry's eggs on the way out for dinner when we got home! Harry your eggs are delicious!
