What customers say
Idyllic woodland spot with private, roomy pitches. Friendly staff, spotless facilities & handy shop. Great base for Dartmoor. Some shower tweaks suggested, but guests love it & plan to return.
 Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Fantastic site! Like something from a fairytale!
 Microlodge
 Liked Remote location, peacefulness. Clean site with clean facilities. Good space between pitches. Wildlife haven with many walks to do around and from the site. Being so close to the main expressway you can’t hear a thing other than the animals which was pure bliss. Definitely be coming back.
 Disliked Heater wasn’t very warm, but we luckily had our own fan heater. Only other thing is could have done with something to sweep up the pine/leaves but again that is something we could have brought ourselves.

How quiet it was in mid…
 Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (wild)
 Liked How quiet it was in mid October, it was lovely. The cleanliness of the facilities. The pitch I was allocated was perfect. Welcoming to motorcycles. Good value. Great location close to the dual carriageway, but no road noise. Dark skies, perfect for stargazing. Nice pub nearby but expensive. Easy to travel by motorbike to South Brent for groceries, there's a few shops plus two chip shops.

Lovely natural site with plenty of space and level pitches.
 Non-electric gravel and earth campervan pitch (woodland)
 Liked Relaxed informality.  Peace and quiet.   Lovely big space for the dogs.  Good old fashioned camping with fire pits provided and gather your own fallen wood.  Easy to find and access.  Good pitch size for the van with planted earth bunds for privacy and our own water stand pipe.   Composting loos at various locations but a good main facilities block, and little shop/reception with information.  My two dogs just loved it.
 Disliked Slight noise from A38 from our pitch (that is the price you pay for easy access) but that was mainly during peak periods of the day and was much more peaceful in the evenings when you want to eat out in the fresh air and settle down.
