Immaculate site with super staff, wonderful hosts. Stunning Dartmoor views, peaceful vibe. Great facilities, shop, showers. Handy for gorge, cycling, pubs. Mostly great, but weak Wi-Fi and occasional noise noted.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Owners don’t care about excessive noise in the grass field
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely wardens, let down by the owners. Nice facilities but not enough for the size of the site. Good walks from site.
Disliked On our first evening onsite, groups of campers were playing loud drum and bass music next to us - reception was shut and we only had an ‘emergency’ number which we didn’t think was appropriate to contact. We couldn’t relax and decided to move to a free spot in a different field, we notified the wardens who were very understanding. We decided to stay in the new service spot to avoid more loud music and annoyance. We were happy to pay to stay at the new spot (even though the site was pretty empty and the spot hadn’t been booked by anyone) however the owners decided to also charge us for moving on the first night. We didn’t think this was fair, as the other campers shouldn’t have been making excessive noise in the first place (apparently there are ‘quiet times’, but they clearly aren’t enforced!!).
If you want peace and quiet, get a service pitch. I don’t think the owners care about what happens in the grass field in terms of excessive noise, as in their words ‘the service pitches make more money’!!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A lovely, well-kept campsite — clean, tidy, and clearly cared for. The wardens are friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. It’s quiet and peaceful, with everyone respecting the rules and keeping noise to a minimum. The views are beautiful, making it an ideal place to relax and unwind. Perfect for me. I’ll definitely be back!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked What a fabulous site. The views of the toes on Dartmoor, picture postcard from the top field. The grounds are well kept with well cut lawns & wild grass meadows. The facilities were all kept so clean. Louise and her husband the wardens were so friendly. Great little shop.The site is close to cycle routes & lydford gorge. The castle inn nearby does great food.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Most importantly the site staff are outstanding, welcoming, friendly and helpful. Great communication and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Site has a really good mix of serviced pitches in addition to open grass camping areas with fantastic views of Dartmoor. A lovely balance to suit all. Shop is well stocked and convenient. Facilities clean and well maintained. Well run village pub within walking distance. As a regulars visitor to the area due to family connections this is my go to place to stay, can't praise it too highly.
