What visitors say

Nicola Travell

What a great place. Brilliant ammenities. Very clean toilets and new showers. Perfect to be so close to the Tarka Trail for convenience of getting on at the bottom of the camping field. Quiet and big pitches with EHU. Bargain price and well located for all local hot spots.

This site was absolutely perfect and location was excellent. Just a few feet away from the Tarka trail and conservation area. The site is well maintained and very clean. The toilets and showers were one of the cleanest we have used. Highly recommend..

First overnight motorhoming and this was a great place to start. Small friendly site, toilets/showers spotless. Little microbrewery serves great ale and woodfired pizza and direct access to the Tarka Trail made it ideal for us staying with our dogs.

Amazing campsite right on the Tarka Trail. Great stop for SWCP walkers with a sheltered spot from the wind. Shower block spotlessly clean. Lovely helpful owners.
