The Heart of Exmoor

Positiv Fantastic views, clean facilities and plenty of space. Friendly owner. Firepits and logs available. Simple, semi wild site with a very well maintained compost toilets with washbasin. So quiet here, just the birds and the sheep!

Negativ Nothing to dislike really. Was a bit windy, but you need to be exposed to get the views

Positiv Fantastic location. Uninterrupted views from South East to South West. Makes for superb star gazing when the skies clear.

Composting toilet significantly more pleasant than a standard portaloo 😁

Positiv Lovely quiet, small site, beautiful views. Basic, but clean and tidy.

Negativ Only 1 loo, had to wait quite often. Also the light is reliant on solar power, not a problem if it’s run out as we all have torches, but the tap also relies on this, so sometimes you couldn’t wash your hands.
The track to the field is very rocky and uneven. Go very slowly

Vom Platzbetreiber: It was lovely to meet you and catch up during the evening. I'm so pleased it was everything that you wanted!

Positiv Beautiful remote location. Nice views over the North Devon hills. Quiet and peaceful. Great views of the night sky. Free firepit with wood available to purchase. Composting toilet was clean.

Just be wary of the midges in summer, as they were out in force and biting.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Perfect and simple overview of the campsite, exactly what we are trying to achieve and love the photos! Good bit of advice about the midges, we've only seen them for a few evenings this Summer - get a lovely fire lit as the sun is setting as they don't like smoke. No worries when the stars are out, as they will be gone!

Positiv Wow, stunning scenery and surroundings. Such a peaceful site.
Serena was a great host, always available to contact , came up to meet and greet all guests each evening which was a lovely personal touch.
It was all very clean/tidy.
We will definitely return.
Thank you Serena x

Positiv Really quiet place, beautiful views, owner was super helpful.

Negativ Drive down to the camp site was a bit rough, especially for my lowered car.

Vom Platzbetreiber: It was lovely to catch up with you everyday and see you glowing after a peaceful time away. The short track to the campsite is maintained every year, but not ideal for lowered vehicles. Thanks for your comments.

Positiv We loved the peaceful surroundings and friendliness of the owner (Serena), aswell as the other campers.

There were free firepits to use and logs weren't expensive to buy onsite either.

Loads of room and the eggs were amazing.

Negativ Although we managed to get down the lane in fairly low sports cars, it took a fair bit of navigating so as not to tear our undertrays off.

Im not marking the site down because of this though.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for taking the time to write such a detail review. I will pass on the reviews about the eggs to my son - Harry! The short track down to the campsite is not ideal for lowered cars, so thank you for pointing this out. I hope you had a lovely time away with your children driving you around!

Positiv Fantastic site, lovely an peaceful with lots of space. The toilet facilities where a plus along with options for a fire pit and wood. The views are stunning and if you get a clear sky during the night then it becomes even more spectacular with an amazing veiw of the stars. We where lucky enough to see two shooting stars and several star constellations.
