  • Small family-run Devon site on the edge of the Blackdown Hills
  • Exeter and south coast beaches within a half-hour drive
  • Easy access from the M5 at Cullompton; walk to a pub and farm shop
Whether you fancy fishing, horse-drawn barge trips or climbing tors, Postwood Gardens Touring Campsite and Country Cabins makes for a fine base. This place is a small and peaceful family-run mid Devon site on the edge of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and five minutes’ drive from Cullompton. The name Cullompton may be familiar to frequent travellers along the M5, and indeed this site is a handy stopover just a few minutes’ drive from the motorway (or indeed from the A303/A30, 15 minutes’ drive away). That said, there’s plenty around to keep you occupied for several days if you choose to settle down for a longer break – this site is in prime position for surfing, fishing, moorland hikes, climbing the tors, beach days, family attractions, cycling outings… Handy amenities are easy to come by too, as Cullompton has a high street full of independent shops, a farmers’ market and a couple of supermarkets. Closer to home, there’s a farm shop in Fordmore or the pub and shop/post office in Kentisbeare, all within walking distance. Facilities here are simple, as you’d expect from a small site, but guests have access to male and female toilet and shower blocks, a chemical disposal point and a recycling area.

What customers say

Peaceful, tidy spot with friendly owners. Level, private pitches. Handy for M5 & local shops. Limited facilities when busy, few nearby walks to pubs.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Easy access from the motorway. Helpful instructions from the site owners. Loved the greeting from the friendly campsite cat.

Disliked We turned up in the worst weather conditions at the end of the season, so it's difficult to comment on the campsite as a whole. First impressions count tho, and the very tired and scruffy caravan, with lots of stuff around it doesn't do the site any favours.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Nice quiet site, very easy from the M5 if you are looking to break up a long trip south or a trip to France. Toilets / showers clean, but limited in number. All the usual Elsan disposal and recycling. Approach well sign posted. Enough room to get a full outfit off the road while you unlock the gate. Perfect information provided over SMS day before. Wyndham arms in Kentisbear was a nice local. Try a small glass of "The general"

Disliked Approach from Cullompton / M5 on A373 is fine.
I would not recommend recommend approach from Kerswell direction on A373.
I would take a long detour to avoid it, since the A road is not wide enough in all places to allow an articulated lorry and touring caravan to pass. I had a rather hair raising squeeze, with a lot of backed up traffic.

Liked Spacious and flat, ideal for the kids games. Nice walk to a pleasant village.

Disliked Unfortunately the pub wasn’t open after our little stroll, but the little village stores were!

Local attractions

It might be that you’re a savvy fisher already or you’re looking to dip your toes in for the first time. Either way, with Goodiford Mill Fishery (five minutes’ drive) practically around the corner, you’ll be well-set here. It’s just one of a few places close by that make up a unique set of holiday activities – these include the working Coldharbour Mill’s interactive museum (10 minutes), driving real-life diggers at Diggerland Devon (10 minutes) or the family-friendly assault course challenge on The Bear Trail (10 minutes). These activities already make some good action for any kids in your group, but Crealy Theme Park (20 minutes) has much more on that front, as does a good horse-drawn barge trip down the Tiverton Canal (15 minutes) or a detour to the entertainment facilities in Exeter city centre (25 minutes). A natural playground can be found at Sidmouth beach (half an hour). There’s kayaking or canoeing rental here but for cycling and walking (off the coastal path, that is), Exmoor National Park (35 minutes) is a sound choice. Historical sites also live on around here and that includes the National Trust’s Killerton (15 minutes), a huge 18th-century estate, and the Victorian Knightshayes Court (20 minutes), both royally good for walks and picnics.
