Honest review: We were sold by the pitch up photos which certainly make it look a lot newer than what it is. In reality the park is weathered but still actually quote nice, it's a great social space for the kids, ours loved it. The football pitch certainly needs a bit of love too. The WC and shower facilities are clean but could do with a bit TLC, like repairing some seats. A big positive with the showers is you can adjust the temperatures, great for me as I like a hot shower! The shop and on site bar are open for a limited time on Thursday to Sunday plus have a small amount of essentials. This is due to supply and demand, I understand this. Local shops aren't on your doorstep either, they are about a 10 minute drive away. Staff are friendly and leave you alone, can't argue with that. There also seem to be a lot of wasps, but maybe that's also this time of year. All in all we enjoyed out stay so would recommend if you want a down to earth site. It's not quite a 4 star but could be with not a huge amount of effort.

Loved this campsite. We went in our tent and stayed in the first adults only field near pond so enjoyed watching ducks. So peaceful and quiet when we went in early July 2021. Good facilities, good shop but was only open Fri-sun when went but is seasonal. Lots of places nearby to visit including haldon forest Park and Exeter. Definatly would go here again.

Lovely area. Duck pond with lots of ducks and ducklings. Good small shop carrying a large variety of items you may have forgotten. We were lucky to have the motorhome site all to ourselves. Our dogs also enjoyed themselves. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Just come back after a fab, last minute week of Camping, elec pitch, Family of 5 & dog. Children's park and play area was great, same as evening bar which serves food and drink after 5pm. Plenty of open space, lots of wooded areas for kids and teenagers like ours to explore. Mini Premier Stores for all essentials and more on site but if not Lidl and Sainsburys is a 3 mile drive. Shower and toliet Facilities clean, hot water for both showers and dish washing up area. Running fresh water taps around pitches. We were asked where we would like to pitch up and All I would say is pick a pitch close to wooded boundary just to get a break from the scorching sun this time of the year (August) other than that and a few annoying wasps I highly recommend planning a trip here 😀
