What customers say

This is a peaceful, rural campsite with friendly, helpful owners and stunning countryside views. Pitches are hardstanding with electric hook-up and water. Facilities are basic but clean, including hot showers. The site is praised for its value and suitability for families, with an on-site dirt bike track being a particular hit. Access roads are narrow. Some guests noted that the facilities, while functional, are rustic and could benefit from updating.

Robert S.

Electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Nice and quite, lovely views as on a hill, even though a working farm with animals, showers worked but not steady hot water as on a timer, toilets ok, all could do with a freshen up, owner and family friendly and helpful, electric hook up and water points near by

Disliked Nothing really, just be aware of tight country lanes whether campervan or motorhome

Jessica P.

Electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely little stop on our campervan holiday.
Level pitch. Toilet and shower block. Lovely park for our little one.
Has a motorbike track indoor and outdoor, which my little boy loved watching. Owners are happy for you to play on it with a peddle bike when they are not using it for motorbikes. The motorbikes were also electric when we went to watch, so you couldn’t hear a thing.
Beautiful view of Dartmoor.

Disliked Tricky road up to the site but worth it.
Showers are great but they are on a timer, they go off after around 5 minutes and won’t come back on for about 2 minutes, so me who puts conditioner in her hair and leaves it for a few minutes before washing it out … I was stood there waiting for them to come back on.
But these aren’t really dislikes, more just an FYI.

Sophie D.

Electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Hardstanding was good especially with it raining. Good winter pitch but we were staying in the summer and it's basically a silage pit without a roof.

Disliked Showers were cold for duration of timer and wouldn't turn back on so had to change cubicles.
There was also dried up dog muck outside toilet by showers and if we hadn't seen it in the daytime we would have trodden in it at night.
No actual signage as such to say where ti park, first half of the site was being used as a car park by the farm.

Electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Scenery

Disliked Everything else! Pitch just a car park (did have ehu and water.) Filthy facilities likened to a kids residential trip. Mouldy dirty showers that ran out whilst washing my hair. Definitely no cleaning had been done here recently! Dog poo outside the toilets! For £22 a night was just passable but go elsewhere, this place is grotty!

Electric gravel and hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Nobody to meet you, no instructions or phone number to call. Campsite was an unkept car park. Toilets were basic and dirty. Showers were basic and uninviting. It felt as though it was just for riders using the indoor track. Feel the description on pitch up very misleading. Sorry to be so negative, we have stayed in lots of places in our campervan but this is the 1st time we have had to move on. Overpriced for what they were offering luckily we found a lovely site nearby for £2 more.

Local attractions

Well-behaved pets can expect a warm welcome at Wheeldon Farm, with daily walks (or swims) available a short walk away from site at the river Avon. This peaceful spot is just at the end of the green lane that crosses the site, while further afield in the South Hams there's a range of dog-friendly beaches and walking trails to explore. For woodland walks, you might want to take them to Haldon Forest Park (35 minutes' drive), where there's also a Go Ape high ropes course and mountain biking trails for the humans. If you've brought kids instead of canines, you might like to take them off to Woodlands Family Theme Park (10 minutes), to see the animals at Paignton Zoo (30 minutes) or to check out what's swimming at the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth city centre (30 minutes). Other must-see attractions in the surrounding area include Totnes (15 minutes), an attractive and unusual market town with a hilltop castle, Dartmouth (25 minutes), an important naval centre with estuary cruises and attractive historic fortifications, and Salcombe (30 minutes), a swish seaside resort surrounded by sandy beaches.
