Why stay here ...
A level site, beautiful views and nature all around you! The path to the wash-room is kept mown, and runs between a swathe of grass, dotted with buttercups and other wildflowers. You can choose your own pitch, depending on which view you prefer. Each electric post has a water tap as well as the socket so that you don't have to trundle around the field with a water container.
The washroom contains two showers, two loos, two basins and a sink. The water to the basins and the sink is heated by our biomass boiler. The showers are heated electrically there is no charge for these.
Access is straightforward, only a mile off the main road (A3121) along what appears to be a narrow road, but you soon come to a crossroads, and thereafter the road is wider with wide verges for passing if necessary. Because it runs along an ancient ridgeway - along the top of a hill, it is almost flat, so an easy drive. Please do not be tempted to use a Satnav, it is likely to take you right through the village (narrow!) and up a very steep hill - not good for your clutch!
We look forward to welcoming you to this spacious site on our working farm in this tranquil part of South Devon. Please note dogs must be kept under control and on leads.

This is a real tranquil site . lots of space between pitches and site with lovely views. Directions are spot on and with the additional hill head sign on the turning so easy to find. Think u need to charge more and forget about the petty 20 pence charge... Show more

Lovely tranquil site
Stayed 2 nights April 2023 and used as a base for a ‘Keeper For A Day’ experience at Dartmoor Zoo (about 25 mins away if opting for the ‘wider’ roads). Lovely site, highly recommend for its tranquil and relaxed feel. Toilet and shower facilities are clean and modern and are a... Show more

Oh what a terrific location and facilities
Brilliant site - own water and electric on each pitch - a real plus as I prefer showering in our own van, although there were two showers and two loos on the site. Jane was mowing the grass round the pitch area when we arrived so we had a wave, although... Show more

Lovely CL, close to the A38
Super Cl set in a massive well mown, grass field with wonderful views. You arrive via a narrow lane which is thankfully very quiet. There are travellers camped along this lane by the campsite but please don't be put off. They have been there for a number of years and... Show more

Great Site
We came down and stayed on Hillhead farm for a family event. This is a large quiet site with really good facilities. The owners were welcoming and left us to our own devices while on site. The showers and toilets are very well presented and kept. We will return here... Show more

Can't praise this site highly enough. We stayed for a week in July 2014 and had the pick of available pitches which were flat and exceedingly generous. Jane and her husband couldn't have been more helpful. The scenery is stunning and close to all our local haunts... Show more
