Fishleigh Barton Camping

A aimé : COST!!

I was meeting family and just needed somewhere cheap to get my head down. I had seen a local car park in Appledore for £15 which i had planned to visit. This site only cost me £10 and I had the added bonus of a shower and no distractions.

I was a little late getting to the pitch due to travel, the owner had text me earlier in the day, I let her know I would be later then what the rules were (21.00 hours) and it caused no problems.

I was allowed to just drive up and pitch where ever. On this occasion, there was only 2 others on site, so I remained as quiet as I could to be respectful as they were so accommodating.

there is a shower and toilets. Shower was not the warmest, but from a sign on the wall, I believe it is solar heated, so it was warm enough for me to get clean.

N'a pas aimé: Nothing worth me turning.

A aimé : This site is perfect.
Very slight noise from the road, but nothing to disturb your sleep or peaceful morning.

From the top of the field you’ll get a glorious sunrise. A wander in the dog field, you’ll also catch the tip of the sunset.

The toilet and shower facilities are lovely. Solar showers providing an actual hot steamy water, which is very welcome after a day at the beach.

You can walk down the very muddy track on the opposite side of the road to the river for a dip.
It’s close to a local garage if you’ve forgotten any essentials. And a great location to get to many beaches within 30ish minutes.

A aimé : Easy to find, just off a main road, which us a benefit in Devon.

It's a working farm so we loved seeing the tractor at work and the pitch was at the edge of a worked field.

Lovely pitch, sloping so we put up the tent accordingly.

Showers were free and just the right temperature but not adjustable.

Lovely view.

N'a pas aimé: On arrival, the main farm yard gave cause for concern, a veritable scrap yard. First impressions count, and this was not good.
The dairy has obviously not been used in years looks neglected as are the barn areas.
I know farming is a hard business and time consuming but the basics need attention.

A aimé : Small, friendly campsite, just off A road separated by a field, so Road noise was minimal. Well situated for local National Trust sites & beaches, see campsite website for suggestions. There's a Texaco petrol station with a good selection Londis shop just up the road, which sells pastys made at the campsite, and The Rising Sun pub is a 5 min drive away that does good food. There is also a pizza van opposite the pub every Wednesday. Good phone signal on 3.

N'a pas aimé: Only 6 Amp power on site & pitch needed levels. Warning, severe pot holes on entrance.
