Top of the hill!
We were at the site at the beginning of August. This is a lovely site with good views from some of the pitches. It is large with good facilities - reminded us of the European sites, with a well-stocked shop on site (small supermarket style) and a pool - unfortunately this was not available due to the current Covid-19 measures. The name of the site indicates it's position and it is a hilly walk to anywhere away from the site, so be mindful of that if you are wanting to walk- having said that, the bus stops just outside the site entrance in both directions. We went to Brixham and then stayed on the return bus to go right through to Kingswear - not expensive to travel and both places were nice to visit - nothing much at Kingswear as a place, but this is where you can get the foot-ferry (£1.50 per person and a lovely short ride) across to Dartmouth - which was lovely to visit. Brixham is a little tired but reminded me of Padstow with the boats in the harbour and the eating places around. We ate at a fish restaurant right on the front and it was lovely (and I am very particular about eating in good places with fresh food). I was able to have 'moules frites!' how's that for a staycation! You can also walk to beautiful and remote Mansands beach from the site. But unless you are a keen walker, I would not recommend the route we took. If you have a car, see if you can get closer. If walking, turn right out of the site until you find the bridlepath on the right -follow this route as it goes down a steep hill - when you get to the bottom there are two routes to take - I would not recommend the middle path to anyone - it initially looks the best one as it is flat, but it was very muddy for a long stretch and you still had a steep hill to go up before going down again. Take the road ahead that leads directly up a hill - it then goes steeply down but this was the best route. Take food and water and a good seat - also footwear for in the sea as it is all rocky! It took 45 minutes to walk it but the weather was beautiful and we didn't rush. All in all a good 4 nights.
