Scorriton Court Campsite

Ik was blij met: The night sky was pretty.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The site is down what can only be described as a "rubble path", with some huge rocks that caused some scrapes to my car. There were no water facilities whatsoever, no taps or anything to fill up bottles or to do washing up. The grass was almost a foot long, the whole place seemed like it had been more or less abandoned, upkeep and water required.

Van de manager: I'm glad you enjoyed the beautiful sky we have here in the evenings it really is a delight, and our remote location is the reason we can enjoy such a sky. We are down a drovers lane to the moor which means we don't have any busy roads near us and you can enjoy a peaceful stay. The lane is permissible provided you take it slowly and carefully per our other review.
There is a mains water tap per the site photos located at the bottom of our field approximately in the middle of the hedge line, and a sign pointing it out. Apologies that you missed this, I try to meet all our campers to ensure they find the facilities and the local pub etc, but unfortunately you hadn't pitched up when I checked the field. We also have a portaloo at the site entrance for campers to use. My contact details are also on the gate if you require them.
We are a working farm and this is a field not a lawn, so it isn't mown, we sustainably rely on our sheep and cows to do this job for us out of season. The recent weather has meant lots of grass growth but we haven't let the animals back in yet as we don't want mucky pitches for campers. If you are looking for a truly sustainable virtually wild pitch up campsite where you can be assured you have left no trace of your stay this is the right site for you, and I look forward to welcoming you to our working Dartmoor family farm.

Ik was blij met: Lovely setting.
Peace and quiet.
Friendly, helpful, site owner.
Clean facility.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Access up lane was a bit rocky and bumpy for a small car but manageable if taken slowly.

Van de manager: Thanks very much Jill I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon Zoe

Ik was blij met: Loved it, thankyou! Perfect for those doing the 2 moors way- we had 2 backpacker tents. We walked in and walked away, so the track didn't bother us.
Quiet- We had exclusive use of the field, even on a summer Holidays weekend- so a very clean toilet! There is drinkable water here from a tap, and the camping perfect for a sense of wild camping without actually being wild. The owners came to see us and checked all was ok- very nice personal touch.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing! Read the description of this campsite first- it would not suit luxury style campers.

Van de manager: Thanks so much for the lovely review, we agree it is perfect for the two moors way as it is literally next to the track, we would love to welcome you back and were happy to welcome children to the site. Many thanks again! Zoe
