What customers say

This campsite earns rave reviews for its quiet vibe, roomy, neat sites, and spotless facilities, including hot showers with great water pressure. Guests love the nice extras like fire pits with wood and the awesome kids' play area. Owners Dinah and Marc are praised for being welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. While most had no complaints, a few noted a nearby road and one mentioned the price.

Maria S.

Lotus bell tent

Liked Absolutely loved this site, amazing set up at the lotus bell tent. Kitchen with all the amenities including a double hob, cool box and ice packs and all the utensils you could need. The tent itself was beautiful, spacious and well decorated. The games area at the bottom of the site was an hit with our 12 year old, it was her favourite part. Our favourite part was the hot showers and proper loos! All in all a great stay!

Disliked The nearby road, not much anyone can do about this just make sure you bring ear plugs if your a light sleeper like me.

Kathryn H.

Lotus bell tent

Liked A lovely clean, well-maintained and spacious site with really good facilities - couldn't fault the lovely hot and powerful shower (didn't try the outdoor one but heard that was also good!) and proper flushing loos plus washing up facilities. It is clear that the very friendly owners really take pride in this place. My children loved the freedom to run around and enjoyed all the games on offer (croquet,boules,badminton etc). I loved our cosy lotus belle tent with its really comfortable bed and well equipped camp kitchen as well as relaxing by our big firepit in the evenings. Yes, as others have said, you can hear the nearby road, but it certainly didn't spoil our stay and we hope to return at some point - we had a great few days 😀

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thank you Katherine, it was lovely to meet you and your children. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay, and look foto seeing you again.

Katie V.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Really nice campsite - pitches are spaced out so everyone gets a good amount of space, clean and modern toilet and shower, surrounded by nature. Each pitch gets a fire pit space.
Owners were very nice and came to meet us when we arrived and showed us around. You can also buy a bucket of logs for your fire.

Disliked We had no issues with the campsite - if you want somewhere super quiet, there is a road going past which you can hear, but didn’t bother us.

Local attractions

Tear up the skate park, take to the adventure playground or head out onto the Tarka Trail… there’s access to all three in Hatherleigh (five minutes’ drive or 10 minutes’ cycle along a bike path). It’s one of a couple of splendid places close by to this site, which includes the Legge Farm Coarse Fishery (five minutes’ drive) and the War Horse Valley Country Farm Park (10 minutes) for families who fancy getting stuck into farm activities and a World War I museum. Woolley Animals’ (25 minutes) alpaca walks are another activity for any wannabe farmers. Meanwhile, nearby the pretty Clovelly (40 minutes), you can swap tractor rides at the BIG Sheep farm park (40 minutes) for the Milky Way Adventure Park's bigger coasters (40 minutes). After some hikes, wild swimming and other outdoorsy types of activities? Dartmoor National Park (20 minutes) is a good choice on that front. More paddles can be tracked down on Bude beach (half an hour), where there’s a sea pool and surf schools. For some sightseeing instead, set off for Okehampton Castle (15 minutes) or the spectacular gardens at RHS Garden Rosemoor (25 minutes).
