Liked: Lovely open space, dogs allowed to run off lead which was amazing for them. Mark really helpful with local information and able to walk straight onto dartmoor so no need to move the van. Toliet kept clean and shower even though only one there worked perfectly. Marks wife lit a amazing campfire each night and was lovely to go sit round and chat to others. Could have stayed last longer! Thankyou Mark for such a relaxed campsite

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The facilities and welcome at this campsite were great. Composting toilets were clean and well put together as was the shower and there was a large shared forepit lit for the whole campground by the hosts. The hosts were welcoming and knowledgeable and the site is dog friendly. Nearby woods are a stones throw away and make for very good walking. Thank you for a great stay!
Disliked: The site is on a bit of a slope which can be annoying and you have to remember to bring your own drinking water - as stated in the site info.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked: A beautifully simple and uncomplicated campsite set in the woods. There is everything you need and nothing you don’t. The Geography locally will mean that bringing a large motorhome or caravan on site will present challenges but for a campsite that offers a real sense of remoteness and peace while not being utterly distant, this cannot be beaten. No wifi (perfect); no amenities (because you have Dartmoor); no baby change facilities (not the point of the campsite).

Liked: The location was great! Was a bit hard to find and not well signed posted but we found it and had a great stay and was nice to just go for a beautiful walk straight from the campsite instead of driving somewhere!

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Beautiful location up on Dartmoor. Lovely walks straight from the campsite. Chilled atmosphere. Friendly owner. Very dog-friendly. Great communal fire pit.
Disliked: For me, I was a little anxious as dogs are allowed to run free and my dog can be reactive when approached. But that's just my situation and, as it was, there were no issues. Quite hard to find but well worth it when I did!

Liked: Friendly owner
Disliked: Very small roads to access the site and after a lot of rain recently the main entrance was unusable and the “backup” entrance is most likely to cause you to drag the tail of your camper/motorhome. The site has very few level areas

Basic but good facilities and very well looked after.
