Hideaway Camping Reviews

Hidden gem

Went here in late November with my boyfriend to celebrate his graduation and get away for a little bit. We only stayed for two nights but they were absolute bliss! We were a bit apprehensive about the cold but the hosts provided plenty of extra blankets, a big heater and even offered us wellies because of the mud! The shared facilities were really well kept and the fridge provided was a lifesaver. The site also isn't too far from Okehampton (about a 15 minute drive) which was handy and has plenty of lush places to eat and things to do, especially when it got dark so we couldn't be walking around Dartmoor anymore. The only downside we found was how quickly the sun set each day, so we will definitely have to visit again in the summer when we can have full days to explore!!

Site's response

Thanks so much for your lovely review. So pleased you had a good time and hope to see you again.

Lovely spot

The site was easy to find and get to, although the dirt road getting to the site needs a lot of work done to it to improve the last or first bit of driving. I did get a flat tyre because of the pot holes and sharp rocks. That is my only negative thing to say about this campsite. There is plenty of space for a lot of people. It has a big stone circle in the middle of one field which you can have a big bonfire in.

Perfect location for a lovely, remote holiday of peace and quiet

Hideaway Camping is a perfect location for those looking to have a lovely remote holiday of peace and quiet. The campsite is fairly remote but is a 20 minute drive away from Okehampton for any shopping/food needs, a 20 minute drive away from Dartmoor National Park if you like to hike and a 17 minute drive to a nice (but expensive) cafe next to Roadford Lake. The road to get into the campsite was a little rough, but completely doable for my small Fiat panda mk3. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The facilities are clean and easily accessible. There are 5 warm and easy-to-use showers, 3 cleaning up sinks, 4 conventional toilets and 3 compost toilets. There is a nice communal building with electrical outlets, a microwave, a fridge and lots of toys/games/books for families. The staff also put in extra effort to recycle properly, which is fantastic. They sell logs, small wood planks, marshmallows, hot chocolate packets and various fun camping items (you can pay with cash in the shop directly by placing the money in a box or by card if you ask the staff). The campsite has a small playground, a few points of interest, a small pond and a Kunekune pig pen with 4 very active, friendly and cute pigs called Kevin, Perry, Pablo and Bilbo. Some of the pitches are nice and flat, but some have a very mild (but satisfactory) slope. All of the pitches have a nice natural "wall" of trees/bushes that provide a little privacy on 3 sides. All pitches have a firepit. The site is also high enough that you can get some fantastic sunset/sunrise views if you get the right spot. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely go there again.

Amazing stay

Hideaway camping was the best stay we have had all year, it's everything we could of wished for. The owners were attentive, friendly and approachable. The facilities were perfect, clean and easy to use. We will definitely be returning!

Great glamping

Beautiful glamping site! Has everything you need. Comfortable beds. Lovely site with lots of charming areas to explore, especially for little ones who love swings! Very relaxed camp/glamp site in rural setting. No complaints. Star gazing is a highlight!

Lovely, clean, quiet site

If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing site then this is a great place. They have a sweet little cabin with two showers and two toilets and they were immaculate every time we used the facilities. They have more on site but these were the closest to our accommodation so we didn't see or use the others. The children loved and adored the pigs and the games cupboard in the cabin was a great idea for when kids were getting a little bored and kept them occupied! We didn't stay at the site during the day so it was a place just to rest our heads. The park area could do with some TLC and updating! My children didn't use it as it wasn't really a park, more a frame and a swing. We stayed in the airstream which was a perfect size for a family of 5 with small children. Mine are ages 8/9 and 11. I think 5 adults would not be comfortable with the sizes of the pull out beds. We had a lovely time at this site, it was super quiet at night time which gave us a good night sleep. My only two negatives were the airstream doesn't lock from the inside and for myself with 3 children sleeping by the doors, I would have been more comfortable with a lock! I know you are in the middle of nowhere and probably very safe, but I would have liked the option to lock it. Other negative is the road is very bumpy and uneven (expected in such a rural area) but we had to take our time entering the site so we didn't damage the underneath of our car. The owners were friendly and on hand to help if needed. Great site which I would recommend.

A peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings

This is a lovely quiet campsite with beautiful views and quirky accommodation. We stayed in the Iglulu which housed four of us comfortably, and had everything we needed. The showers were warm and the facilities were clean and well maintained. Our children (6 and 9) freely explored the area, visiting the pigs and fairy glade and enjoying the swings and mini henge. Good location, within 35 minutes of Bude/Widemouth and half an hour to Dartmoor. The driveway was the one drawback - a very long and bumpy ride, but it was worth it for the seclusion and a different experience. We would recommend!

Jabba the hut

Hideaway Camping was just beautiful! I booked 2 nights in the Shepard's hut and it was lovely, clean and snug. Jenny was very kind and welcoming. We highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a break in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nature and beautiful scenery! 10/10, we will definitely be booking again soon.
