What customers say
This tranquil, secluded campsite has roomy, level sites in a lovely rural spot near Dartmoor. Guests raved about the super-clean facilities, showers, and toilets with plenty of hot water. A big communal tent for bad weather was a hit. Owners are often called friendly & helpful. It's a simple but comfy, quiet escape. A slightly bigger entrance sign would be helpful.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Large open and mostly flat pitch with well mowed grass. A large mess tent for use if weather turns nasty. Flushing loos and large sink to wash up in. The showers were very good and roomy and hot water is sufficient dependant on sunshine as it is solar power.
The hosts are friendly and helpful.
Quite secluded and peaceful spot on the Eastern side of Dartmoor only a very short drive from Moretonhampstead.
I can recommend the Union Inn for food.
Basic camping without all the noises of a big campsite but enough to make it comfortable.
Disliked Nothing to dislike

Excellent!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Jenny and John are very friendly! They helped us a lot. Our car burned down after pitching up. They lent us the spare bedroom in their house, gave us a lift to a restaurant and back and even gave us a lift to the train station.
Disliked We hadn’t had the time to fully enjoy the campsite as our stay was cut short.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Heel veel ruimte en natuur in een prachtige omgeving. Fijne plek voor kampeerders die van basic houden. We like! Heerlijke tijd gehad (4 nachten). Wij verbleven in de ‘boomgaard’. Ideale plek voor hangmat en een kampvuurtje. Dank aan de aardige eigenaren voor hun gastvrijheid.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Excellent field for pitching tent - very flat. Quiet location with lovely views. Facilities were clean & excellent with hot shower rooms and toilets.
Adequate wash-up area too.
Most impressive was an excellent communal large ‘army tent’ which was great for when the weather turned.
Disliked Nothing - amazing spot which I look forward to returning too very soon

Great site
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked There are only 2 showers and 2 toilets at this site, but they are excellent. Clean, plumbed toilets and hot showers. There’s one big open field with lots of flat ground and one wooded field suitable for tents. Lots of nice walks nearby, some very narrow lanes if you’re in a campervan! We had a great weekend, we almost had the place to ourselves and the big mess tent was very handy when it rained.
