What customers say
Gorgeous, tranquil site with lovely views and big, private pitches. Owners are dead helpful & know their stuff. Animal feeding a hit, shop's great. Some basic facilities need a spruce-up. A bit of road noise and chickens about for some.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked A lovely stay at the old rectory. A peaceful site close to beautiful Tavistock. Helpful friendly owners who gave us great recommendations, and a lovely vibe at the campsite. Our kids fed the pigs and even had an archery lesson with Declan. A really special experience. The kids also enjoyed the visits from the chickens, Charlotte and Michelle.
