Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Lovely site, small but clean facilities and the owners were really lovely and helpful. Lovely chickens and fresh eggs available too!
Disliked: Paying £1 for a 5 minute shower after paying £25 for a pitch. Which means every shower was an extra £2. Also, nowhere for freezing ice packs which are essential in summer unless you’re expected to drive miles to buy fresh dairy produce each day.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: The campsite was lovely, not too busy or crammed together and we had loads of space on our pitch. The pizzas on Saturday evening were really great and the owners were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome! It's within walking distance to a couple of lovely towns and 5 mins drive to several beautiful nearby beaches as well. Facilities are simple but very clean and tidy.
Disliked: The campsite is next to a main road so it was a little loud with traffic sounds sometimes, so bear in mind if you are a light sleeper!

From the manager: Hi peeps. Thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed Roeys pizzas.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: At Roeys retreat myself and my partner had a wonderful 2 nights . on the day of arrival we had previously walked from westward ho along the swcp and i had hit my head pretty hard on a tree upon arrival at the campsite it was raining and i was upset and crying as my head was pounding as we was sat there the lovely chap who owned the campsite had spotted our arrival and come to see us offerd us both a tea and sat us in the warmth in the little shop and we had a nice chat and made me feel better about my head.
The toilet block was very clean and well maintained aswell as the lovely warm 5min £1 showers. our pitch was lovely and flat and there was a nice communal area to sit.
Disliked: the wether was the only downside but its devon what can we expect. theres nothing bad to say about this campsite
