Gidleigh Wood

A aimé The hosts were a lovely couple, who went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible despite the weather. They set up the fire pit on our last night, and ensured there was enough wood to see us through.

Lovely local walks and plenty of tors not too far away. The river is a short distance away from the site which promotes scenic walks.

There was plenty for children to do with a box full of ball games, and a woodland to run through.

The facilities were clean and well maintained. No foul smells from the compostable toilets. The owners ensured that the shower was always hot after wet walls on the moors.

We will return to this site in the future, and have recommended to friends.

A aimé The simplicity and ease of everything. Mark has yet again done it v.well indeed. This time I bought my kids so they really got stuck into the off grid camping. Lovely wild swimming nearby too.

A aimé Wonderful, peaceful spot nestled in the trees. Feels remote with access to beautiful walks on Dartmoor but also only around 2 miles to Chagford for a pint and a small shop.

Shout out to Mark, the friendly owner, for his helpfulness and resourcefulness - we forgot the pump for our airbed and he made one out of a milk bottle top and a canister of compressed air! Above and beyond what we expected.

Compost loos and shower also v clean and well-maintained.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Rebecca, we love your lovely review about how we managed to inflate your airbed, it's the best review of the year! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Gidleigh wood campsite and thank you so much for rating us a 10/10, well worth finding a milk bottle top and some compressed air. I love a challenge in the wilderness of Dartmoor. We hope to see you both again next year.

A aimé Fantastic campsite! Beautiful locations and very relaxed. The owners were fantastic and very attentive. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to return in the future. Loved being able to swim in the river too!

N'a pas aimé I wake up early so it wasn’t and issue for me, but I could see how having 1 shower could be an issue when it’s busy.

A aimé The big dark sky at night was amazing up there on the edge of Dartmoor nestled among a small forest. The owners were very kind and laid back, they furnished us with as much kindling for our bbq and fire pit, and some logs to get us started each day for free! It was peaceful and really well managed. Lots of walks in all directions to villages, pubs and the moor just a few minutes away. We reckon we’ll be back next year. Thankyou Mark and Wife!

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike!

A aimé Mark and Karen are amazing hosts. The site is a bit tricky to find… but omg what a stunning place! Very basic, compost toilet and a shower, sink and recycling area.
Walks within the woods take you to the river- wish I had prepared and then be able to go in for a swim.

N'a pas aimé Roads getting g to the site… but that’s Devon for you.
