What customers say

Treacle Valley offers a laid-back vibe & lovely country views. Guests loved the clean facilities (hot showers, handy wash areas, fire pits) and helpful staff. While many enjoyed picking their own spots and the peaceful setting, some noted hilly terrain and occasional camper noise. Great value, highly recommended!

Steph G.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked - Very flexible check in and out times.
- Beautiful, countryside views.
- Clean and well maintained toilet block and washing up area (a tricky job with the amount of dry grass being traipsed in there all day long),
- Small, onsite shop for drinks and snacks.
- Small play area for children.
- Choice of pitch (all non electric FYI).
- 15 minutes from Babbacombe/Oddicombe beaches.

Disliked - Not much flat ground to work with. Luckily, we have a camper van, so we were able to use levelling blocks to get closer to flat, but you’d need to be ok with the high probability of a sloped pitch if you were camping in a tent.
- Occasional whiffs of cow from the barn next to the camping field. Depends on which way the wind is blowing (which is obviously not under the staffs control).

Primitive grass tent campsite (small)

Liked How stunning the rolling hills are
Being outside in the countryside amongst nature and all it has to offer
Travelled from Norfolk and loved it

Disliked For the people commenting on not liking the not having level parking.
Why did you chose to holiday in Devon?
Why didn’t you chose Norfolk etc!

Liked Gorgeous views and very conveniently located.

Disliked Very hilly, to the point where it was impossible to find a flat pitch so had to sleep at a steep and uncomfortable angle.

Ines W.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Nothing , nix, absolut nix

Disliked Der dreckigste Campingplatz, den wir über pitchup gebucht haben. Überall Dreck, direkt nebenan ein Kuhstall, der dermaßen gestunken hat. Die ‚Wiese‘ hügelig, selbst mit Keilen kaum eine gerade Fläche hinzubekommen.
Die Sanitäranlagen dreckig, der Wäscheraum war ein Witz, alte Wäsche in der Waschmaschine.

Local attractions

For stuff to do nearby, try a visit to the historic village of Cockington, three miles away, where there's a manor house and a cricket ground plus some 16th-century thatched stone cottages and a traditional pub serving cream teas. The award-winning caves of Kents Cavern – once home to prehistoric humans – are also within easy reach of Treacle Valley; this subterranean network lies close to some spectacularly scenic coastal areas with several walking routes along Torbay's UNESCO Global Geopark – one of only seven in the UK. A walk around Babbacombe coves and cliffs begins at Anstey's Cove (opposite Kents Cavern), to wind its way along a scenic track and bring you out into the pretty village of Babbacombe in Torquay; take a ride on the famed Babbacombe Cliff Railway, then follow up with a wander around four acres of award-winning gardens showcasing hundreds of model scenes and railways at Babbacombe Model Village. Take the kids on an animal adventure at Paignton Zoo (20 minutes) or visit the seaside towns of Torquay (15 minutes), Paignton (20 minutes), Brixham (half an hour), Shaldon (15 minutes) or Teignmouth (20 minutes) for miniature golf, arcades, ice cream shops and beaches.
