Why stay here ...
The CL at Great Prideaux Farm is a peaceful site set on a working organic farm. The site has far reaching views of Dartmoor, the coast and the countryside.
The farm and surrounding area are set within the South Devon AONB.
The site is a wonderful base for exploring the stunning local area and coastline. The South West coast path is within half a mile and there are a number of nearby beaches including Mothecombe Beach, famous for the filming of Sense and Sensibility and other films.
There are many pretty villages nearby including Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo which are old fishing villages situated either side of the River Yealm. They are to be found within two miles (one mile on foot) of the site and have two churches, three pubs, a Post Office, Village shop, Yacht Club and a small Co-op store. Dartmouth, Salcombe, Totnes, Kingsbridge and Plymouth are all within easy driving distance.
The site at Great Prideaux is located off a quiet lane. It is level and there is mains water and a chemical closet emptying point (polite note to visitors – please use organic toilet fluid). There is ample space for your awning etc.
John looks forward to welcoming you to his CL. The site will suit all visitors and well behaved pets.

Not much here, but what there is is wonderful!
A small, basic site with lovely views, a tap and chemical disposal point. As you approach, the road gets narrower and narrower... not sure what you'd do if towing a caravan and met someone coming the other way... but for our campervan it was fine. DON'T believe any satnav that tells... Show more

A lovely basic CL - kept just as it should be
We only spent one night here but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. John was very helpful with sending us directions on how to get to the site. The roads are very narrow approaching the site (and going down to the NT beach car parks) but we didn't find this... Show more

Pure tranquility!
This site is gorgeous! I would however urge you to stick to the arrival time as the final approach is a single track with only one passing place - I think it’s mainly farm traffic and it’s few and far between but I would not want to meet anyone else. The... Show more

Perfect place for a relaxing stay
We stayed here for four nights and were really happy with our stay. Beautiful views, peaceful, easy access to the coast path and a lovely walk down the paths to pubs in Noss Mayo. John and family were very welcoming and helpful. Note the need for your own toilet facilities -... Show more

A lovely place to dtay
If you want a lovely secouded place to camp with minimal facilities then this is the place for you. Lovely views across rolling countryside towards Dartmoor. There is a half a mile approach lane with a few passing places which is not a problem if people leave before 12.00 and don't arrive... Show more

Peaceful site with beautiful views.
Lovely simple site with a stunning view up onto Dartmoor. It is a pleasant walk down to Nos Mayo & Newton Ferrers, with the amazing Ship Inn. Newton Ferrers has a small Coop corner shop and if you fancy the exercise bring a rucksack to carry the groceries... Show more

Fantastic site!
Peaceful and isolated, no hook-ups so make sure you can manage without electricity although battery-charging is offered. Lovely views across to Dartmoor. Noss Mayo with a couple of pubs is within walking distance, although a steep climb back up. Lovely scenery in the whole area. Access to some beautiful beaches... Show more

A lovely farm CL with stunning views
If, as we do, you like quiet CLs in out-of-the way locations, they don't come much better than this one. The site itself is level, with plenty of room for 5 outfits to pitch without encroaching on your neighbours. Having said that, we enjoyed 6 nights to ourselves here in... Show more

Its all been said
Have just returned from this nice basic CL. Agree with all previous comments. A 'basic' CL is all we ever seek and John provides this. We may be back.
