Gatcombe Park Farm was absolutely lovely. It was easy enough to find, and the tipi we stayed in was gorgeous. The bathrooms were great & clean, and the little kitchen area was incredibly helpful. Even when we wanted a bit more firewood, Phil was kind enough to bring it over on short notice. Also Toby, the farm dog, was a highlight for my husband. Would definitely recommend, and may even stop again one day!
Amazing Stay at Gatcombe Park Farm - Highly Recommend!

We had the most fantastic 3-night stay at Gatcombe Park Farm in August, and I can’t rave enough about it! We stayed in one of the tipis, and it was absolutely stunning. Waking up to the views of the farm, especially during sunrise, was such a peaceful and beautiful experience. The outdoor kitchen area was a game-changer – fully equipped with a microwave, toaster, little cooker, fridge freezer, and even a dining table. It made our camping experience so much more convenient. The bathrooms were also a pleasant surprise, super clean and well-maintained. One of the highlights of our stay was Phil, who kindly brought us firewood free of charge. Such a thoughtful touch! The farm animals, especially the alpacas, peacocks, and chickens, added so much charm to the place. Watching them roam around the farm was a delight, and you can even buy fresh eggs – a perfect touch for breakfast. The only suggestion I’d make is maybe adding a sign for the luxury shower and bathroom to remind people it’s available after 9:30 AM. A few campers were using it earlier, so we had to wait a bit. But honestly, that’s a minor thing compared to everything else. Overall, if you’re looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway with amazing views, lovely animals, and great facilities, Gatcombe Park Farm is the perfect spot. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking to camp in style!
Idyllic, apart from the road

We stayed here for two nights in July, it's a lovely campsite with nice views and farm animals including alpacas to entertain you. The facilities (bathroom, toilet, kitchen) are excellent and clean. The pitches are reasonably sized although for a tent capacity greater than 4 you may stick out a bit - this didn't seem to be a problem though. The location has its advantages and disadvantages - it is a nice 30 minute walk into Totnes, and also has a couple of pubs within walking distance (we went to the Pig and Whistle and the food was fantastic - good portion sizes and really tasty). However, you do have to cross a fairly nerve-wracking A-road on a bend immediately outside the campsite to walk to Totnes. On that note, the campsite is right next to the A-road so the quiet of the countryside is punctuated by moderately loud traffic. Overall, I really enjoyed staying at Gatcombe and would recommend it, so long as you're not looking for the last word in peace and quiet.
