Don’t stay if expecting quiet
Powered grass campsite
Liked Nothing
Disliked Extremely noisy on Saturday due to band playing.
From the manager: This site is renowned for being quiet and peaceful - please read all our very positive reviews.
We happen to be located near to the village playing field which, on this occasion ran a charity event with live music, which, partly due to the wind direction, did cause excessive noise on site, which stopped around 10.30pm. Some of our guests attended and enjoyed the event.
This event was entirely out of our control, and I have to say that such events are very rare. Thankfully, the vast majority of our guests were not put off by a couple of hours of music and enjoyed the tranquility of the site for the rest of their stay.
I'm sorry that Ms Lee-Smith felt that this event ruined her stay; I did try to call her after she had left site, but she did not return my call.
An absolute gem!
Powered grass campsite
Liked What a fabulous camp site. An absolute gem. Perfect location nestled under the flanks of Dartmoor with spectacular views. Lovely.
Beautifully managed and maintained site, immaculate. All the facilities you will need, well looked after and surgically clean. There is a great little shop on site selling all the essentials which is so handy.
Well located for touring the area with two pubs within walking distance. The Castle is literally around the corner and is excellent.
We stayed on a cycle tour and arrived in the late evening after a hard day cycling through rain and over some tough hills. When we arrived we were greeeted like conquering heroes, for a moment I thought we might have won the Tour de France. But that is Rog and Ange the site owners! And they are truly wonderful hosts, just such nice people - they couldnt do enough for us. Thank you Roger and Angie!
Disliked Nothing at all!
Definitely and place to return to.

Liked Fantasy site. So well laid out, clean, well maintained. Not over crowded and pitches are so generous. Staff amazing, especially Louise who is just a ray of sunshine. Location is great for walking, great views and plenty of places to visit without driving. Good bus route that stops right outside campsite.
Disliked Nothing. Our 2nd visit and love it.

Liked Lovely site, very clean. Small shop on site with all your necessities. The staff are very polite and helpful and keep the site spick and spam. A short walk into the village which has several historic places of interest. Great pub and a little further walk to another pub. Also managed a afternoon tea at the village hall which was very good. Good bus links to Okehampton or further a field.
Will definitely recommend for a quiet week away but with plenty still to do.

Liked Pristine site, with a team who are very helpful. Site is secured at night.
Useful stocked site shop. There is a dog exercise area on lead and playing ground very close to exercise your dog off the lead. Close to a very interesting NT area. Also a lovely pub within walking distance.
