Liked: Beautiful location and scenery. Quiet, good amenities. Ability to choose pitch site.

Disliked: Requested specific pitch site upon booking and assured it was fine, unfortunately not possible once we'd arrived. Close proximity to other campers.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site (lake view)

Liked: Quick booking and response to questions. Nicely laid out site with all pitches having great views. For a wild/popup campsite portaloos were very clean. Hot shower was a great surprise and although basic in terms of the shower cubicle(single on the campsite) it was very hot and also great water pressure. Put a lot of permanenet campsite showers to shame.

Local attractions

For keen walkers, there are plenty of trails to pick from river valleys and farmlands through the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and unbroken trails for all abilities along the coastal paths. Perhaps head out for a level stroll through Avon Valley (half an hour's drive) or challenge yourself on a coastal trek towards the rugged and remote Gara Rock Beach (just under an hour). Got the whole family on board? Pack a backpack, bring a bike or prep a picnic for Dartmoor National Park (25 minutes). Afterwards, meet and greet the animals at the nearby Dartmoor Zoo (20 minutes). Find a watersports mecca at the seaside town of Salcombe (35 minutes), sample fish and chips at the harbour, or treat yourself with some fine dining in one of its high-end restaurants. With Plymouth half an hour’s drive away, you may also want to tick off the marina’s historic sites, starting with Royal William Yard (35 minutes) and take the ferry to Edgcumbe House and Country Park.
