Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked: Friendly greeting. Very quiet and peaceful.
Disliked: Quite limited facilities and in the middle of nowhere. It's probably best for people with tents and cars so you can drive to visit the local area. Some light pollution at night.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you Rachel for your review I am glad you found our site peaceful and quite only 20 minutes from Plymouth . I am confused as to what the light pollution is perhaps the lights over the toilets as most love it for the lack of light pollution..Thank you for coming to stay

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch
Liked: De ligging van het terrein. Afgelegen, stil, rustig gebied. Vriendelijke uitbaters.
Disliked: Het terrein lag niet echt vlak. Het was moeilijk om een plekje te vinden waar we de camper min of meer waterpas konden parkeren.
De douches en toiletten zijn erg basic, maar wel proper.

Liked: It’s such a peaceful, lovely campsite. The showers were warm and clean and the toilets were clean with toilet roll and soap provided. The owner was lovely and gave us some recommendations for what to do in the local area. We all loved our stay and will definitely be returning.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: This was a perfect semi-wild campsite, very basic toilet and shower facility. I loved the fact we had the place virtually to ourselves, only 1other couple who camped on the other side of the field to us. Perfect location for exploring the Tamar valley, plymouth, and the Rame peninsula and east cornwall.
The owners are lovely and very welcoming, my children loved their sheepdog! Would recommend to anyone looking for a low key campsite.
Disliked: Nothing however it is basic in amenities, a rustic shower (hot water is available!) So it wont suit everyone.

From the manager: Many thanks for your kind review it was lovely having you and your children our sheep dog also enjoyed your company thanks for coming
