Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: - Beautiful views of woods and hills - I was able to have a very quiet, solitary time, being the only camper. Dan lives on site and contacted me by text but otherwise left me alone. - Very reasonable price - Really close to beautiful Dart and Dartmoor walks - Ony 5 minute drive from Buckfasy Abbey and pubs

Disliked: The noise from Dan's electricity generator in the evenings (though I appreciate his options may be limited)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: I enjoyed how quiet and peaceful the campsite was. If you want to be in the middle of nowhere with the very basics then this is the campsite for you. I had the whole field to myself and could pitch-up anywhere I wanted.

Disliked: A bigger sign on the gate to let you know you're there would be helpful.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The views were amazing, the owner was super friendly with the two most friendly dogs, and the ground good for sleeping on. Facilities were simple but perfectly functional. Location is a short drive to good walks, the coast and walking distance to pubs!

Local attractions

Admire the splendid Devon landscape from the comfort of a heritage steam train, courtesy of the South Devon Railway, which first opened in 1872. Trains connecting Buckfastleigh (five minutes’ drive) to Totnes travel through hills and farmland, skirting the River Dart. You can also re-enact your Agatha Christie fantasies by taking part in special murder mystery soirées. Once you’ve reached Totnes – whether by car (15 minutes) or steam train – you can take a stroll along the Dart or have a go at watersports. There are views of the river and the entire town from the medieval hilltop castle, while the Totnes Museum, in a 16th-century merchant’s house, has local history displays. Big cats, capybaras and wolves are among the residents at Dartmoor Zoo (25 minutes), where you can take part in experiences like feeding the tapirs or the otters, being a keeper for one day or getting up close and personal with Dragan, the zoo’s male tiger.
