Lovely little campsite , friendly , fires allowed

–

Despite being a relatively big site it was so peaceful! It had everything that we needed, plenty of drinking water taps, full facilities, and the staff were really helpful and kind. Perfect for us as a family with 2 young children as the location is fantastic for accessing attractions around Devon. It was also great value for what you get!

The showers were relatively basic and could have done with a bit of mould/mildew spray or a regrout.

The electric hook up on the pitch next door was broken and they had connected to ours; luckily the staff had a splitter but would have been useful to attach one prior to arrival to stop us having to seek one out!

Also the pitch was quite bumpy underfoot as well as on a slope; it wasn't too much of an issue for us being a relatively young family but wouldn't be great for anyone less mobile

Friendly gentleman on arrival, great for kids, lots of room.

I really feel the listing needs to mention how sloping the site is.
We were directed to our pitch, my first thought was ooh it’s a little sloping, but oh well we’ll get on with it. I soon realised I had been directed to the wrong pitch (there was no EHU ) went and told them no problem they directed us to the correct pitch. The slope was even worse. If I had been prepared for the slope it would have been one thing. But I wasn’t and it annoyed me the entire trip! You could not put anything down on our camping table coz it would just slide off 😅 I also felt the pitches were incredibly close together , which some people don’t mind but I do like a bit of room. Plus we were lucky as it wasn’t too busy by our pitch.
A couple of times the toilets were a bit mucky but maybe could be cleaned or checked a bit more often during busier times .
WiFi wouldn’t work unless near main building

Staff were friendly.
Good location.
Nice that they had a choice to glamp or stay in older caravans.

Pitches were on a slope and very close together.
Not enough showers and toilets, could do with a bit of work to make them nicer and cleaner.

Lovely flat pitch, close to the trees so out Boxer had some shade from the sun. Lots of fellow campers on the site, but it never felt busy or noisy. Went to the Swallows Rest for a drink, we recommend the Otter Amber 🍻. The facilities were totally adequate, and never had to queue. We met the owners, who a lovely couple and nothing was too much trouble for them. We also liked the free washing machine to launder your clothes.

None

Lovely cafe and farm shop, relaxed atmosphere . Good hot showers.

No way to leave the camp except by vehicle .

Another great weekend staying at Bovey Down. Pam and Gerald are excellent hosts and always make you feel welcome. Just a lovely place to stay.
