Peaceful with great views and friendly welcome

Narrow lanes from any direction should not put one off from visiting this CL. Ideal spot for venturing on to Dartmoor, or for just kicking back and enjoying the fine views and quiet solitude. Level, flat well spaced pitches, with friendly owners on hand to help.

A perfect site in Dartmoor!

We visited here for just over a week and it met all of our needs. Easy access just a couple of miles off the A30. Particularly liked the location as it was far enough from the main roads to be peaceful. You get a few cars coming down the country... Show more

A beautiful tranquil spot

A beautiful basic CL but it felt like so much more. Lovely helpful owners and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. No shower or toilet but that's fine. Good level grass pitches both with and without EHU. Very reasonable £18 with EHU or £14 without. Views to die for from every... Show more

Beautiful location

Amazing views from this lovely, level, clean and tidy site. Warm welcome from owners and lots of useful, local information available from the site shed. Walking distance from Dunsford Nature Reserve with its woodland walks. Will definitely be returning.

The owners were really welcoming, friendly and gave us some interesting information about the area. No showers or toilet... Show more
