Liked The view was fabulous and the air show being able to get in the planes was UNREAL! The walk down to the quaint villages and beach was gorgeous and the staff so helpful.

Communal fridge/freezer is a bonus
Disliked The lane to arrive is really narrow and not very well sign posted
You will need levelling blocks if you are staying in the camping pitches
There is not enough showers or toilets if the site was to full capacity
From the manager: Thank you for the review for your 1 night stay with us, its a shame that you feel this way after we gave you a EHU pitch that was empty even though you had booked a non powered pitch.
Perhaps you did not see the signs on the main road into us or the large signs on our gate, the lane into us is a typical Devon lane leading to a lovely view, it has plenty of passing places for your small van and we have many large motorhomes, 5th wheelers stay with us without problems.
Our showers and toilets are spread out in several blocks and as you only stayed 1 night you may not have found them all.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Lovely location. Inland but not far. Branscombe under 2 miles.
Very pleasant welcome. The site is clean and well kept. Useful shop on site. The airfield is hardly used and for light aircraft on a grass strip.
Nice walk to the cliffs along quiet road and fields.
The slope on the site varies from level by the runway to steady slope at the top of the field to quite steep by the children’s playground at the bottom corner of the site.
Disliked 6 amp electrical supply is a bit of a struggle for modern campervans now being fitted with so called eco electric camping cooking facilities to reduce gas use.
The toilets and showers have seen better days. Replace these with a modern block and you will have yourself an unbeatable site.
From the manager: Thank you for the review.
Chris and Tracey
Great site, would return.
