Badger primitive grass and earth tent campsite (six person)
Liked: A stunning and idyllic campsite with only three pitches in a beautiful forest. We stayed with our two young kids (5 and 8) during pretty bad weather and still had a magical time. Can't even begin to imagine how magical it is during good weather. Perfect for enjoying nature, listening to the little stream that runs through the wood and the owls at night. It is important to pack light, as you need to carry everything up the mountain for roughly 500m (but it is worth it). The beach in walking distance is really nice and dramatic. Make sure you also stop by the local pub which is absolutely lovely.

Liked: An unbelievably peaceful stay at Yomer wood. Other than the first, night we had the whole campsite to ourselves! Spaced out pitches within the forest, beautiful looked after communal spaces and compost toilet, plenty of firewood and a very convenient farm shop near by. Surrounded by nature and amazing wildlife, don’t forget your binoculars! Angus and Kate were lovely and very helpful. Do prepare for the uphill walk if you’re carrying a lot of stuff, we had a little trolly and it made life a lot easier but the hill is manageable and completely worth it for the location. We’ll absolutely be staying here again!

Dormouse primitive grass and earth tent campsite (five person)
Liked: Kate was so helpful when we arrived. There are a few lovely private locations to camp so was peaceful and incredibly unique (love the river shower). Cool group fire area but we setup a fire by the tent and plenty of dry wood we could chop/burn (careful of forest fire) 10min walk to the beach of Lee and a beautiful hike along the coast to Wollacombe (be ready for the hills). Its a hill up to the best pitches so be ready to hike up with kit. Great workout!
Disliked: Flying little beasts come out as the sun drops. We avoided them by returning a little later as they dont hang around. (safe enough by 8 with 9.30pm sunset). A fire is the other option to keep them away.
