Nice site, clean facilities & friendly staff
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Pub & Restaurant being on site. Helpful friendly staff. Clean facilities too.
Disliked Pitch was a little small to fit car, caravan & awning on & a little tight to manoeuvre.
Also the extra charge for an awning is a little off putting. If you book a pitch most sites don’t charge extra. Some sites charge for full awning but not a porch awning like ours but don’t entirely agree with that either. Charges for shuttle bus too expensive too. Also extra charges for WiFi excessive

Fantastic site
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Fantastically run well organised friendly site,
Facilities very clean and no press button shower which was amazing. Food was lovely from the little restaurant and the BQ and also the breakfast man. Entertainment every night so take some cash with you. Dog field was great dogs loved it also there's a nice stroll down the bridle path to the village pub. Pitchs nice size your not on top of anyone else. There is also a shuttle bus that will take you to Torquay and Paignton if there is enough to fill the bus, brilliant idea. All in all can not fault this campsite.
Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Superb review, thank you. We have all been having a cracking bank holiday weekend and have enjoyed the company of so many lovely guests. It's great to hear we've been able to provide you with a fantastic break and i'll make sure all the team know you have enjoyed and appreciated their efforts. See you again sometime.

Liked friendly staff, width of pitch's, main shower block,pub on site
Disliked road noise from A380 and touchy ANPR entry camera
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We have so much to offer and you have enjoyed much of it which we would hope would out weigh any negatives. The ANPR can be sensitive to some registrations but it is a necessary system to help maintain park security. There is always someone around to assist outside of office hours. Security of our guests and their property is important to us so apologies if it was being a little temperamental with your vehicle registration.
Nice stay, would definitely return.
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Lovely location, staff friendly, excellent pitches, adults only, showers were fabulous and spotlessly clean. Good, reasonably priced food from onsite eatery. Good onsite bar also.
Disliked A380 close/a bit noisy and getting on to road from site is tricky.
Onsite bar only open sporadically.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Very pleased to see you liked so much about us. The only reason the bar wasn't open every night was only due to lack of demand in low season. Weekend opening wasn't affected. There are obvious advantages to no narrow lanes but yes you just have to be a little patient on exiting from Widdicombe Lane onto the main road. So glad that overall you enjoyed your time and and we're very pleased to note you will return. We shall look forward to seeing you.
Very nice site facilities excellent, friendly welcome…

Would definitely stop again
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Lovely place to stay staff were great the ladies in reception so helpful and everything done with a smile and a laugh mini bus a great extra at little cost
Disliked Would have loved to use the bar but no dogs which I totally understand as only so much space and as it rained most of the time we were there we could not sit out perhaps next time 🥰
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We strive to give all our guests a good time here and we're delighted you have had a positive experience. We do have a covered seating area immediately outside the bar so yes, perhaps next time.
Fantastic camp site. Probably one of the best sites I’ve stayed at…
Electric gravel touring pitch
Liked Fantastic camp site. Probably one of the best sites I’ve stayed at in thirty years of camping. Excellent facilities, large pitch, spotless showers and toilets. On site restaurant and bar, although the bar didn’t open until a few days after my visit. Nearest bus stop about three quarters of a mile away along a pleasant bridle path. I did walk into Paignton and Torquay, but probably a bit too far for young children or the elderly.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. It is very pleasing knowing we have met your expectations and that you have had a good time here with us. Until the next time...... make it when the bar is open as we had a blast over the Easter weekend.
