Positiv This campsite was absolutely fantastic! Caroline and Chris were wonderful hosts, fabulous with the children and so helpful, even bringing up a basket of tea and coffee when we arrived. The pitch is up quite a hill but there is an easier route available. Being at the top of the hill gave incredible views and made it feel very secluded. Also there was great phone signal which you don't always get camping! There is a footpath down the back of the pitch which didn't cause any issues, we saw a handful of people walking over the week. The facilities were better than expected, and Chris and Caroline worked hard refreshing facilities everyday. The area was great for exploring, a good base for places such as Sidmouth and Honiton. They even have an EV charger with a really good rate which we made use of. The children enjoyed foraging (ample blackberries available!) and sitting round the campfire. We had a really fabulous week and would highly recommend this site! I'm sure we'll be back!

Positiv What an absolute gem. Close enough to wild camping to be wild but with enough amenities to provide the essentials ! A portable toilet that is emptied daily , pots and pans , a firepit and a bbq all supplied. I would recommend bringing a gas stove for everyday cooking .what a blessing to be without technology as we camped with our grandkids aged 10,8 and 4 years old, who loved searching for sticks and logs for the firepit, climbing trees and finding an abundance of baby frogs. The lack of any light pollution meant that stargazing by the embers of a burning fire was the perfect ending to our awesome day. The hosts were very welcoming and at hand if needed but never intrusive . We chose the lower pitch ( as I have vertigo) which still gave us amazing views across the blackdown hills . Access to the footpath into the village was easily accessible and even had the opportunity to geocache along the way. The village has a great shop and a little play park .

Positiv A great site for wild camping, with more facilities than expected (washing facilities, fire pit, picnic bench, toilet).
Lots of wild life to see esp at dawn and dusk - deer, owls, bats.
Lovely owners who are very helpful and give a lift up the hill with your kit in their gator/side by side.

Positiv Thank you so much for such a lovely stay. Everything was perfect for the two nights we were there. The campsite overlooks the most fabulous views & we had a picnic bench, fire pit & outdoor kitchen area with tap, along with a pop up privacy tent, solar shower & camping toilet all provided. The pitch is surrounded by nature, with fields, meadows & woods all available to explore. We saw deer & bats & waking up to nothing but bird song was amazing. Very peaceful location, with everything we needed. Christopher & Caroline were exceptional hosts, telling us about the wildlife and local walks we could do. Great location for hikes to Wellington Monument or Culmstock Beacon which are both beautiful places to visit. Great local pub & shop about twenty minutes walk. Would highly recommend & we will definitely be back. Thank you

Positiv This was our first family camping trip and wow what an experience. Every single one of us (kids aged 2,7 &10) didn’t want to leave Camp Wild. We camped at the top of the hill which was a short stomp up a steep path. Wow what incredible views! We were fortunate enough to have the best view for both sun rise & sunset.

We stayed for three nights and absolutely loved it. We walked in both directions of the footpath which is situated by camp and even went on a 5km Geocache trial locally. We built fires which the kids say wad their favourite part as they foraged the wood themselves from our surroundings. Perfect.

The owners were very helpful and anything we needed they were in hand, logs, freezing of our ice blocks and even taking our stuff to and from the camp.

The farm itself has its own wildlife including pony’s and horses and we saw wild foxes, deer and birds galore. What a treasure this place is.
If you’re looking for a wild camping experience, this place is what you’re looking for. We promise you won’t be disappointed! See you again next year!

Negativ Absolutely nothing.

Positiv Amazing views and very friendly attentive hosts. There are only 2 camping pitches available one at the bottom and one at the top of a large hill. We were at the top with the fantastic view. The pitch has a picnic bench and pop up tent with a chemical toilet which is emptied daily by the site owner. They also replaced the 2 water barrels and bins daily and helped us with our belongings taking them up and down the hill. We also left our trailer at the top which was handy to store things in. The site is in walking distance from town which has local shops and a pub.

Lots of wildlife to see and hear and the kids had a great time exploring and collecting wood for the fire. We had a lovely stay and would recommend staying if you fancy a wild camping experience with lots of wildlife and amazing views.

Negativ The hill was very steep to get up and down, climbing the hill was a struggle especially in the heavy rain with the mud. Our site was sloped with a flatter area under the trees near the back. This area was a walking route/public right of way, which we didn't mind but we felt we shouldn't put the tent here so we were on a slight slope which isn't the best for sleep! We wouldn't advise this site if you don't like the thought of having to climb a steep slope daily (unless you can reserve the lower site). We did had a good time which is why I would recommend it.
