A note from the site themselves...

Our site is located on our working farm, Terawhiti Farm, which has been in our family for over 100 years. It is a small, traditional, family run farm but very diverse in what we produce.

The winter months are spent yielding all sorts of vegetables including cauliflower, kale, cabbages, sprouts, celeriac, pumpkins, chard and pumpkins. In the summer, we have fresh strawberries and broccoli and the autumn brings pumpkin patch weekends. All this is always interspersed with the fattening of our hundred strong beef herd.

Since 1940 something, and throughout the generations, our farm has been welcoming people to stay on the South Devon campsite and many will return year after year. We hope you become a regular soon, Anita

Superb location. 10 minutes walk from the beach which is absolutely fantastic. The staff couldn't be more helpful. It made it an amazing holiday for me and my son. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

First time staying here, location was great. So many different places and beaches to visit, some walking, some a short drive. Didn't get to do everything we wanted to so will definitely be back! Campsite had everything we needed. Clean, tidy, lovely hot showers. Toilets were better than expected (having used similar in other campsite). Our allocated plot was perfect.
