What customers say
Quiet woodland wild camping with decent facilities, clean loos and showers. Spacious, private pitches with braai areas. Friendly staff, shop and pub nearby. Some loos a bit basic, but the natural vibe is tops.

Good place to escape from the summer heat
Electric optional grass tent pitch
Liked Nice, spacious camping, not overcrowded, mainly woodland, small store is available on site. Great place to escape from the heat if you select a pitch in the woods. Nice to walk around.
Not far from the main road, there is a bigger shop 7-8 min away.
Dog friendly camping. Fridges, kitchen area with microwave, large tv available in the communal area. Parking is right outside the campsite. Very polite receptionist. They also have proper espresso machine in the store, I like that. There are plenty of fire pits available for bbq. Few water taps here and there with fresh water- this is good as well. Cars are not allowed inside the campsite- I like this too, no extra noise, safe for the kids.
Disliked One extra sink in the kitchen would be good to have. The worktop is long enough to accommodate a second sink, respectively to reduce waiting time to wash the dishes.
Fridges need a deep clean, all very dirty despite the sign that all food will be removed every Friday.
Communal area is a bit neglected, yes noone would expect to clean up after the visitors but the place in overall looks a bit dirty, benches need fresh coat of paint, yes woodland but spider nets are in every corner, communal area is ok but we have been in better maintained camps in Devon.

If you’re looking for a ‘normal’ Campsite with lots of people- amazing
Camping pod
Liked The range of facilities and location for exploring Devon.
Disliked The not so much ‘home of wild camping’. Campsite much bigger, with far more people than expected. Less secluded than what was portrayed on their website.

We can't wait to come back again soon
Camping pod
Liked We love it here. The current fire ban is totally understandable and it actually makes such a nice atmosphere around the communal fire pits where everyone is cooking.
The site is clean and quiet, with great facilities for a wild camping site, I.e: communal fridge and freezer, kitchen for cleaning, showers and toilets.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch (wild)
Liked Open space, walks around woods and site. Use of basic facilities like kettle, fridge, freezer, power to charge phone. Hot showers, clean site, friendly and helpful staff, other campers not too close, well laid out site. No cars on site. Quiet at night
Disliked Due to weather- no fires next to tent- understandable.
Reception and shop closed at 6pm, no sign stating when it opens. (only when closed)

Will defiantly book again, beautiful campsite in the woods
Electric optional grass tent pitch
Liked Everything. Beauful wooded area, peaceful at night, and my 6 yo, loved meeting new friends to play football in the open space, small shop for essentials, large TV in seating area, toilets cleaned daily, and a pub a short walk through the woods. What's not to like. Thankyou.
