What customers say
This pop-up campsite is praised for its beautiful, spacious, and peaceful riverside location. Visitors highlight the friendly and helpful owners, excellent value, and the site's simplicity. Facilities are basic but clean and functional, with plenty of hot water. While some noted occasional road noise and a less clear entrance, many found it a gem for a relaxed stopover or longer stay. Shower lighting improvements are coming soon.

Too expensive for what you get.
Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked The view across to the woods
Disliked I thought the campsite overpriced as there was only a toilet and no other facilities. No outside tap and no shower. The field is right next to a main road so was quite noisy from an early hour. I didn't stay the second night.

Very basic, but perfect for a quiet, one-night getaway.
Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked We stayed one night as a stopover on our trip down to Corwall. It's a large, quiet site with plenty of opportunities to find your preferred spot. It's a farmer's field with no allocated spots or pitches. It has a clean-water tap, toilet & shower portacabin, which also houses table and chairs for kids to use. Lovely little river nearby which had the occasional heron flying by.

Simple, lovely site.
Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked The simplicity of the site
The view
How quiet it is ( we were the only one there).
If you're looking for a place to sleep, where your children and/or dogs can run freely, look no further!
The facilities are very simple but extremely clean.
The location is good to visit Devon.
Disliked Nothing really. Maybe the shower room could benefit from better lighting.
