What customers say
Spacious pitches, great facilities, and lovely views at this friendly, well-kept site. Owners praised for helpfulness, peace prevails. Unique airfield bonus. Pizza van, dog area, games room are popular. Some showers a bit dated, occasional peak queues & narrow access road noted.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (solo, no cars)
Liked We had great information from Tracey before hand. We were checked in promptly and given a pick of pitches. The facilities were clean and well looked after. Tracey was very friendly. The views from the site were fantastic
Disliked Only less one star because the ground really is very rocky - we only picked up on this with the info that was sent to us after booking (our error I think!). Bring some strong pegs and a mallet!

From the manager: Thank you for the review. This part of Devon is flinty but when it rains the ground drains quickly

Lovely clean, spacious site
Electric grass pitch
Liked Really spacious pitches. We had a hard standing with EHU for our Motorhome for one night. Plenty of toilets & showers for the size of the site & the showers we used were really clean & well kept. We were running late on arrival day so I emailed to let reception know & they text me back saying no problem at all, ring on arrival. Lovely friendly welcome. They sometimes have a pizza van there too so check when booking as we’d eaten en route & we wouldn’t have if we’d known. Sadly too cloudy for any plane take offs which we had been hoping to catch but we’d definitely book again & stay a few nights next time
Disliked Nothing!

Would recommend this site for an easy quiet night.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Plenty of space, hosts are very welcoming. Facilities were clean.
Disliked Limited facilities so had to que for a shower and unfortunately the site was not near full capacity.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the review for your 1 night stay. Its a shame you had to que for a shower, which makes us think you only used the south side block and not the north side block, we would like to point out the night you stayed, Easter Saturday, we were almost at capacity as we don't put pitches on top of each other

Electric grass pitch
Liked It was very spacious, great views, the owners are so nice and really helpful. The showers are hot and clean, it was our first time camping and will be returning! The dog field is incredible, well kept and a big basket of balls to throw and throwers! Is now going to be our favourite camping spot, can’t recommend enough!
