What customers say
Great pitches, views, and staff. Facilities generally clean with good showers. On-site airfield a unique touch. Good for exploring, but a few found facilities dated or pitches/access tricky.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Nice friendly place, a deep clean it would be tip top,
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Fantastic view! Very friendly, Quiet, Well maintained grounds , Proper electric shower,
Disliked Could just do with a deep clean on the outside toilet block. not all flat. Children's play area needs knocking down and a new one. Nowhere free to charge phones if needed whilst having a game of pool you have to pay for 5v usb!
Toilets inside the games room are very nice.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Secure dog walking field. Pitches well kept. Good laundry facilities. Nice hot showers.
Disliked Pitches can be challenging if you do not have some kind of levelers, this is not a real dislike just a heads up if your coming here.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The view was fabulous and the air show being able to get in the planes was UNREAL! The walk down to the quaint villages and beach was gorgeous and the staff so helpful.

I would highly recommend this site and will definitely visit again 😃
Electric grass pitch
Liked Staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, nothing was too much.
Pitches were spacious, fresh water points close by.
Lovely enclosed area to walk your dogs.
Fantastic view
We were lucky enough to be there the day aeroplanes were flying in and allowed to walk around them...what campsites do you get that on! Don't let the fact there is a runway on the site put you off. They aren't noisy at all.
There are plenty of showers and toilets.
Lots of beautiful areas to visit near the campsite.
Disliked A few dogs across the site kept barking. I wouldn't put this down to the campsite. More owners needing to take responsibility for their dogs. Appreciate dogs bark, but if they are with you you need to manage this.

Clean facilities
Communal fridge/freezer is a bonus
Disliked The lane to arrive is really narrow and not very well sign posted
You will need levelling blocks if you are staying in the camping pitches
There is not enough showers or toilets if the site was to full capacity
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the review for your 1 night stay with us, its a shame that you feel this way after we gave you a EHU pitch that was empty even though you had booked a non powered pitch.
Perhaps you did not see the signs on the main road into us or the large signs on our gate, the lane into us is a typical Devon lane leading to a lovely view, it has plenty of passing places for your small van and we have many large motorhomes, 5th wheelers stay with us without problems.
Our showers and toilets are spread out in several blocks and as you only stayed 1 night you may not have found them all.
