Liked The lady that met us in reception was lovely, warm and welcoming. The toilets/showers were pretty decent. The site is a short drive from several beaches, Paignton Zoo and the town centre whilst also being rural. Stunning views.

Disliked The site doesn’t seem to be monitored in regards to their rules, this could be a really lovely campsite but numerous families with kids running riot until past 11pm and from very early in the morning, large groups of adults partying until gone 2am, people walking around drinking alcohol, lots of loud swearing, glass bottles thrown on the grass and in the entrance to the site which could be dangerous not only for children, adults but cars driving into the site ruin what it could be.

Extremely uneven ground all over, couldn’t cook and two nights of rolling off beds because we couldn’t find any spot flat enough for them. Rubbish not picked up, Ashes from previous fires dumped everywhere. As a working farm you’ll need to be a heavy sleeper or have a 3-4am wake up call from the cows.

‘Influencers’ arrived after 11pm in a convoy, very loud and speeding around the field with no regards for safety of others, and they did the same whilst filming very loudly the following morning despite young children running around.

The negatives are a shame as it has the potential to be a really lovely place to camp.

Liked Vast site
Peaceful surroundings

Disliked A lot of the site is gently sloping
Facilities are dated
Expensive for what it is.

This is my experience of the site and I'm sure that, on a different day, it would have been far more pleasant, but I arrived on a Sunday evening where a sign told me to choose my own pitch. The site was moderately busy but plenty of areas away from other campers. Struggled with a flatter area but not the end of the world. Unfortunately, once pitched, the surrounding families were disgusting. Foul language from not only the adults but also the young children (10 and under), shouting and a blatant disregard for anyone around them. I took a walk around the rest of the site but it was pretty noisy everywhere. There didn't seem to be any policing of the site and no one enforced the noise in the evening rule so the site didn't fall quiet until well after dark and the racket started up again early in the morning with more sweating and screaming.
Unfortunately, £25 for a solo camper for what is a very basic site with dated facilities is a lot of money. During the same week I stayed at Didwell Farm for £10 (great site with fantastic facilities and also Higher Easton Farm for £15 (basic but great facilities).
Wouldn't take a lot to get this site to a slightly higher standard, and if you're going to charge this money you really need to be present and police the site you're charging for.
