A note from the site themselves...

Allan and I are very keen campers. Over the years, we have camped in everything from a tent to our wonderful little motorhome. Then, whilst sitting outside our motorhome with a glass of wine, we dreamed of running a small relaxing campsite on the edge of Dartmoor. How hard can it be to realise that dream said optimistic Allan!

We have brought that dream to reality several long years and many battles later. We couldn't afford to buy an established site, but hey, where would the fun have been if we hadn't started from scratch and created our campsite ourselves.

Finding and securing such a beautiful location next to a Special Site of Scientific Interest and then getting planning permission took over four years. We were careful to ensure we looked after the natural environment that makes us unique during construction. To complete this site took drive and determination, and we couldn't have done it without the help of our extended families and friends.

We hope you will enjoy the fruits of our labour, relax in the beauty of the site and delight in the peacefulness of this wonderful location, Debbie

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

The campsite itself and the owners were top class, but it was a very wet, stormy and muddy holiday. Possibly put us off camping for life, as it was only our second camping holiday in 40 years, maybe we will get lucky if we try again. Thank you to the owners, they were very helpful, considerate and sympathetic to our stay. They were really lovely, and kept everything in the wash room and toilet/shower block spotlessly clean.

Lovely clean relaxing site

Dartmoor National Park is just moments away from the park. Explore this incredible open landscape and spend the day admiring the waterfalls, heading through forests and wandering by ruins.
