Liked: The location is great with lots of nearby things to do. The facilities are great with a toilet and baby changing table. Because the site is car free on the pitches it means our 8, 5 and 1 year old can have lots of freedom to roam safely. We will be back.

Liked: Had a great stay here. It was midweek, so very quiet, didn't have to wait for facilities or wheelbarrows. We had a woodland/wild spot, and would recommend them as they are nice and secluded. The wild spots are further from the car park, so would recommend packing light! We only stayed 1 night and it was a lot of effort to get set up and down, but would definitely stay again for longer. And of course, campfires encouraged! Plenty of free plugs and freezer space, well stocked shop, 24 hour vending machines, and lots of picnic benches. If you are backpacking, I can't imagine a more perfect site, and totally suitable for hammock camping. It's a good location to explore South Devon or Dartmoor.

Liked: Aah, Ashbourne Woods, our favourite local site and only 20 minutes from home. Blessed with wonderful weather for our short stay over half term. Greeted as usual with friendly faces. A Wild Camp in the valley on this trip, tent basked in sunshine, a plethora of wildlife surrounding us. 2 camp fires during our visit - homemade pizza and we even attempted a cake! Kids happy swinging in the hammock and whittling sticks. Ball games on the meadow. No need to leave the site, as more than enough to entertain the kids. Some upgraded toilets and undercover area since our last visit which was good to see. Thankyou once again for a lovely yet short stay. We will return during the season.

Liked: We had such a great time!! The grasspitches are very spacious(we have a 5m bell tent) and well spaced out, unlike other campsites In front of the pitche you have enough space to have your chairs, BBQ/fire pit, etc. there is a drinking water tap every 15-20 meters. Plenty of toilets, the shower building is warm with plenty of hot water. The kitchens are well equipped with toasters, microwave s, fridge & freezer. There are designated campfire spaces on the forest floor, and you can gather your firewood from there, as well( obviously no damage to the trees). It was our friends first time camping, and we couldn't have chosen a better place!

Liked: The outlook from the tent in the wild camping section was lovely. The staff were very welcoming. We felt like we were alone in the woods. Pitches are very well set a part and it was just a lovely time. Would definitely return
Disliked: Didn’t dislike anything. Shower block and toilets were a little tired, but that’s to be expected in a woodland campsite. Didn’t bother us.
