What customers say

This popular campground boasts a stunning location, a short walk to beautiful beaches. Guests rave about the excellent views, especially at sunset. Booking is easy, owners are friendly, and the on-site shop is a hit. While facilities are clean and adequate, compost toilets and absent shower locks are noted. A relaxed vibe and great value are highlights.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Quite with nice views

Disliked Advertised as hot showers, but it seemed whatever time of day you used them they were cold. We both had a shower late afternoon on a sunny day and there was only cold water coming out of the shower head. Speaking to others they had the same experience 😔

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Our first time camping with our two young children and could not fault Cosy Cow. Pitches were nice and big. Facilities were clean and looked nice. We loved the honesty shop which we used when there. Would definitely stay again!

Sarah M.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great location near beach and the coastal path.
Honesty shop was helpful but bit pricey, however the farm shop Sausages and bacon they stocked were the best I've ever tasted😋 staff were always friendly and helpful when I contacted them.
Showers were great. Thankyou

Disliked The toilet doors slam shut really loudly morning and night as they have heavy metal frame. Perhaps some buffering could be put round the frame to lessen the noise, perhaps old tyres?

Loved our stay and will definitely be returning

Erica S.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Spacious site just a five minute walk from a beautiful dog friendly beach. Great to have the use of a well stocked “honestly shop” and the use of a fridge and freezer. Really friendly vibes….a great stay (very reasonably priced for a bank holiday)

Disliked Limited drinking water on tap (tank takes a while to refill) but bottled water was available to buy

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great site location, some improvements required to the facilities.

Chris G.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Open site with a lot of space and great view of the sea. A short walk to the beach (5 minutes down the road).

Disliked One very loud group playing music until 1am. I know this happens a lot but there didn’t seem any policy against it. It feels like midnight should be the right time to shut up.
The showers needed locks on the doors.
The toilets aren’t great, even for compost types. Probably the facilities weren’t enough for the number of pitches.
The fresh water needed a larger tank as it was almost always run out. I’d recommend bringing a lot of fresh water.

Local attractions

First stop from here should surely be South Milton Sands – it’ll take you only five minutes or so to stroll down there to relax on the golden sands or poke around in the rockpools. There’s a watersports centre down there too, so you can hire paddleboards and kayaks or have someone give you lessons in how to use them. Elsewhere along the coast there are of course some excellent walks to be had on the South West Coast Path, and it’s worth planning visits to Bigbury-on-Sea (25 minutes’ drive) for a visit to Burgh Island and Salcombe (10 minutes) for a gin tasting and a tour of Overbeck’s Garden. Nearby Thurlestone (15 minutes' drive/half an hour's coastal walk) has a golf course and a lovely spa too. Away from the coast, you may like to take the kids to Pennywell Farm (25 minutes) for activities like lamb feeding and goat milking, or to spy more exotic beasts at Dartmoor Zoo (40 minutes). Meanwhile, Plymouth (45 minutes) has attractions like the National Marine Aquarium and The Box interactive museum.
