Ashbourne Woods

Ik was blij met We were away in three units and they put us together on the edge of the woods, great for the youngest member ! (2 1/2years) We had a great fire pit between us on pitch 7 and 8 with another good space between 8 and 9 with the rollouts almost touching. All close enough to the loo/shower block with good clean facilities and lots of hot water. Will definitely try and come back again… maybe with another member of our family too. It was also amazing that we could pull off the pitch and park in the carpark to go to shop in Totnes.

Ik was niet blij met Only (very) slight complaint was that we stayed on after two left and a camper van was given 8 pitch. They had an awning bigger than them so spread over the whole pith meaning we couldn’t (sadly) have the fire pit on the extra nights. Pitches 9 and 10 were both empty.

Van de manager: Thank you for your feedback — we’re really pleased you enjoyed being pitched together on the woodland edge and that the facilities and layout worked well for your family.

We’re sorry you weren’t able to use the fire pit after the others in your group left. We occasionally have last‑minute movements when bookings change, and on this occasion another unit was placed nearby which meant the fire pit couldn’t be used for the extra nights and pitches 9 and 10, which should have been occupied, were changed.

Thank you again for staying with us — we’re glad you had a great visit and hope to welcome you back.

Ik was blij met Loved being in the woods and having a fire pit

Ik was niet blij met Showers, no where to put anything down off the ground

Van de manager: Thank you for your feedback — we’re really pleased you enjoyed the woodland setting and having a fire pit during your stay.

We appreciate your comment about the showers. There are hooks on the doors, but we’ll take your feedback on board as we continue improving the facilities.

Thank you again for camping with us.

Ik was blij met You could camp as wild as you liked here , or pitch near to facilities- up to you. All pitches seemed to have individual water supply and fire pit for hire. An amazing place for children to run around and enjoy nature. There were many facilities for campers such as undercover eating areas, fridge/freezer, microwave, undercover washing up and charging points.

Ik was niet blij met nothing- plenty of toilets / showers weren’t plush but perfectly functional

Van de manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback — we’re really pleased you enjoyed the freedom of the woodland pitches, the facilities and the space for children to explore and enjoy nature. It’s great to hear the individual water points and (free) fire pits worked well for you too.

We appreciate your comment about the toilets and showers — they’re simple but kept clean and fully functional, and we’re glad they met your needs during your stay.

Thank you again for camping with us.

Ik was blij met The campsite is beautiful, really nicely kept and really peaceful vibe

Ik was niet blij met Our pitch was a bit too close to the main BBQ and buildings, it was noisy. That said, we booked very late and the other pitches further away were all lovely

Van de manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re really pleased you found the site beautiful and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere overall.

We’re sorry your pitch felt a little close to the fire pit area. During the fire ban, the BBQ/fire fit space was provided so guests could still cook safely on a gravel surface, which meant it was used more frequently than usual. As you mentioned, booking very late in the school holidays does mean the quieter pitches further away are often already taken.

We’re glad you liked the other pitches and hope that on a future visit you’ll be able to choose one of the spots further from the communal areas.

Ik was blij met A really special site where you are surrounded by forest and feel quite separate from other campers. Definitely recommend it.

Van de manager: Thank you for your lovely feedback — we’re really pleased you enjoyed the forest setting and the sense of space and seclusion. It’s great to hear you’d recommend the site, and we’re glad you had such a good stay with us.

Ik was blij met Easy access to facilities
Hot showers
Nice family environment

Ik was niet blij met Shower did not run consistently
Advertised as “Wild camping” but has a TV consistently on - showing Far right political misinformation on GB News.
Pitches are uniform so if you are looking for something more wild this is not the place to go.

Van de manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that parts of your stay didn’t meet your expectations.

We have made note of your comment regarding the shower.

To clarify, the TV in the communal area is on a timer and only runs for short periods. It is normally set to sport, and if a programme ends, we don’t control what automatically follows. We do not intentionally put on political content of any kind.

Regarding the pitches, our electric pitches are uniform because they need to be laid out safely for power access. However, our wild camping areas in the woods are completely different — natural, varied, and far from the TV or any facilities.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and will continue to review how we balance comfort with the wild‑camping experience many guests enjoy.

Ik was blij met I love everything about Ashbourne Woods. This was my tenth year and I’ll definitely be staying next year! Green and beautiful surroundings, stunning trees, no light pollution so if you’re lucky you’ll see a shooting star on your way to the loo! Toilets and showers immaculately clean. Always hot water 24/7. friendly staff and the campers chat to each other and it’s lovely and fuzzy and warm vibes all around. Always a space in the car park, not a speck of litter, rabbits jumping about in the ferns and I even saw a hedgehog when I was zipping up my tent. It’s just a really happy calm and beautiful space. Thank you all!

We’re delighted you enjoy the peaceful woodland, the wildlife, the clean facilities and the friendly atmosphere on site. It’s lovely to hear how much you appreciate the calm, the trees and even the night skies.

Ik was blij met Beautiful location. Woodland was lovely, nice pitches and facilities - freezer, fridge, microwave and kettle nice touch and covered area with seating. Walk to local pub delightful. Helpful staff.

Ik was niet blij met Compost loo in the Campervan pitches had no sawdust or working lock.

Van de manager: Thank you for your lovely comments about the woodland, facilities and staff — we’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Regarding the compost loo, we monitor the sawdust levels and top up as needed, but during busy periods it can run low more quickly. We’ve adjusted how we manage it to make sure it stays available and the loo remains in good working order.

Thank you for letting us know — feedback like this helps us keep everything running smoothly.

Ik was blij met Lovely campsite. Good toilets and super clean showers. The campsite has a really nice feel to it.
Perfectly located off the a38 without being able to hear it, meaning it’s super handy for places to visit

Ik was niet blij met Only little dislike is that the showers could have a little longer when you push the button , 4 seconds isn’t enough.

Van de manager: Thank you for your lovely comments — we’re really pleased you enjoyed the campsite, the facilities and the peaceful feel of the place.

Regarding the shower button, it does have a short cycle as part of the water‑saving system we use on site. We understand it can feel brief, but guests can press the button as often as needed during their shower.

Thanks again for your feedback and for staying with us.

Ik was blij met We had a lovely stay at Ashbourne Woods. The manager was friendly and helpful, but a special mention has to go to Sharon on reception. She was so warm, welcoming and genuinely went the extra mile for everyone – even helping people out on her day off. She really is a credit to the campsite.

We also loved the communal field in the evenings. The kids quickly made friends, building dens, throwing “pine cone grenades” and toasting marshmallows, which naturally got the adults chatting too. A really friendly, relaxed campsite with a great atmosphere. We’d definitely return.

It’s great to know you enjoyed the communal field in the evenings and that the children (and adults!) had such a fun, relaxed time together. Creating that friendly atmosphere is something we care about, so it’s lovely to hear it made your stay special.

We’d be very happy to welcome you back again.
