The 3-mile long Slapton Sands beach is just a short distance from the site, and for bird enthusiasts the local bird sanctuary at Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve is also within easy reach. If sailing is your passion, you can conveniently moor at East Portlemouth to explore the marvellous harbours and creeks of this lovely coastal area.

This was my first ever campsite with a new van ... the aim being to check out the van and see what I needed to get. The welcome on arrival was second to none including helping me clean the van which had got covered in mud from some country lanes (tip 1 ... follow the recommended route rather than the satnav!). As I was there for the last 2 days of the season I kind of expected the facilities to be a little tired and the staff "jaded" and looking forward to a break ... quite the reverse was true with the facilities and welcome like they had just opened at the beginning of the season! I'm be quite happe to return to this site.
