What customers say
Lovely, quiet woodland site with private pitches, fire pits for a wild feel. Good showers, helpful staff, handy shop. Easy A38 access, near Dartmoor/coast. Some found showers basic, noted road noise. Mostly, people loved it and want to come back!

Unpowered forest floor tent site (wild)
Liked What a wonderful site! We really liked the secluded woodland pitches. The tent stayed cool in the hot weather. The site is very family-friendly with lots of space to explore and no cars driving around. Good facilities which were cleaned regularly including laundry, microwave, fridge/freezer. Fires allowed in allocated fire pits. Walkable local pub with great food. Very easy access as is close to main road - some road noise could be heard at night but it was quiet and didn't disturb us at all. Easy access to both Dartmoor and the coast. Nothing to complain about at all!

Unpowered gravel and earth campervan site (woodland)
Liked Beautiful site. Our second visit. Very peaceful and beautiful views . A 40 minute walk to the city . Caught the train from St Thomas to starcross and walked to Turf locks. 3 mile each way . Then Taxi back from st Thomas. Fire pit in the evening to watch the sun set . Perfect.
