Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: Campsite wasn't ready. Ground was waterlogged. Sometimes this can't be helped but you should remove your listing if the ground is not ready. Toilet was unusable as it was full to the brim of sawdust. Communal campfire was overgrown and just a puddle in the ground. Didn't even bother staying in the end. I like a wild camping sites usually but this was just a waterlogged overgrown field with junk spotted around it. Would definitely check this out before you book.

From the manager: Hi there, sorry you felt this way about our site. We would have been happy to address some of this if you’d let us know on the afternoon when you arrived and we spoke to you. Your booking was very last minute (34 minutes between booking and arrival) and we weren’t really expecting campers with the diabolically wet weather we are all experiencing at present.
Tranquil, low fuss and beautiful site

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Just as described (which is important). Large and flat (also important!) area and no allocated pitches. Simply choose your spot. Friendly host who introduced himself the next morning to check I had everything I needed. I cycled 2 miles to a nearby village to explore. North Tawton has decent amenities. Pubs, shops, cafes and gelato. The communal fire pit is a great idea!
Disliked: Nothing.
