Lovely little campsite, toilets and showers are clean and it has some beautiful views when not cloudy and on top of the hill. A nice place for families however, be aware there is a little pond. Unfortunately, didn't see any staff. However, if you want a trip with no human interactions, it's perfect for you. I wouldn't recommend the campsite to anyone with large vehicles, it is down some very narrow roads.
Fantastic site in a beautiful location

A lovely campsite in a beautiful location. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. It's a great place to relax, escape modern life and immerse yourself in nature. It has all the facilities you need, clean loos, showers and washing up areas, plus freezers for food and icepacks as well as a washing machine and two tumble dryers. The pitches are spacious with some on flat ground and others on sloping. The nearest beach is about a mile away and a very pleasant walk down quiet country lanes. Lovely Mill Bay beach is a short drive away, as is the ferry point for Salcombe. Local shops are a bit scarce so it's sensible to stock up in Kingsbridge or at the Spar at East Charleton. That said, Piglet Stores at East Prawle has plenty of essentials. We'll definitely be going back. A great campsite with a lovely vibe.
