Favourite location for Devon, lovely clean and well maintained site
Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked Peace and quiet, great facilities and location, friendly team on hand to help. Good sized pitches and a nice mix of locations on site. Convenient for exploring the Devonshire countryside and local towns.
Disliked Some touring pitches are overshadowed by very large trees....great if you are wanting to be camping in the woods but choose carefully for caravans.....we had a lot of things falling on the roof overnight!

Great site, very well organised and maintained. We will visit again.
Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (wild)
Liked The 'wild camping' forest pitch was great! It felt secluded but the amenities were very close by.

Lovely week camping in a beautiful wood
Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (wild)
Liked Perfect area, large natural woodland.
Good size pitches.
Wood avaliable to buy, also plenty of dead wood on the ground.
Small shop on site with everyday things.
Excellent toilet and shower block.
Facilities to cook/wash up.
Facilities to wash and dry clothes.
Local town Shops within a 5-10 minute drive.
Lots of local attractions, South Devon Railway at Buckfastleigh 10 mins away.
Paignton and Dartmouth railway 20 minutes away.
Other areas such as Saltash worth visiting.
Supermarkets in Plymouth 30 mins away.
Disliked Nothing really to complain about, the site has everything a wild camper is looking for.
I think the price per night could be slightly cheaper however this site is cheaper than others around the area.

Non-electric gravel and earth campervan pitch (woodland)
Liked I loved the beautiful location nestled between the trees.
The space was private, and also felt really safe being a female, on my own.
It was very peaceful, with people staying in neighbouring bays which was nice to feel the presence of others whilst also being private.
Facilities were great with very clean showers, toilets and a shop just a short walk away.
Reception and checking in was very friendly, efficient and informative.
I'll definitely be back!
Disliked Nothing!

Just the most amazing place!
Electric optional grass tent pitch
Liked We absolutely loved Ashbourne. It was such a lovely experience and the facilities were fantastic. The staff were very helpful and the shop had all we needed.
Excellent camping pitches, great size and little privacy hedge too. Our little spaniel loved it as well and our walk in the woods. We felt so homely there.
Added bonus: walking distance to the church inn in Rattery which did the most stunning food!
110% will be returning 😄
Disliked We would pack lighter next time to avoid numerous wheelbarrowing!

A beautiful, semi wild site, with everything you need.
Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (wild)
Liked Lovely woodland and a great balance of wild camping and facilities. Friendly welcome. Loaned us some chairs as we forgot ours. Beautiful surroundings. Our furry friend was welcome too. So nice to have a place where you can make a fire and use what is around you.
Disliked Nearby business premises was a bit noisy where we were. Would have liked a choice of site as it was quiet, but not a real problem.
