We stayed at this site spring bank week 2016. The site was full but didn't feel over crowded the wardens were very nice and very helpful. The walk to the pub is not too far and the bus stop is just on the corner from the pub. In the other direction from the campsite is start bay one shop and a little gift shop ( but you can most things ). weather was very hot so pub on beach came in handy and the fish and chip restaurant was great. Will be going back soon. The Gribbons

Three nights here in Motorhome, on Devon/Cornwall tour. Nicely laid out, clean tidy site. On the A379, so could be a little noisy on the top pitches. We had pitch 43 at the bottom of site, was quiet enough for us. Friendly helpful wardens. Reception selling the essentials, plus bits and bobs (cards, maps etc) Well stocked information room. No 3 bus into Dartmouth. Scenic ride plus a nice town to mooch about. Plenty of walking from the site too. Torcross only 10-15 mins walk, mostly footpath, small section along road (behind the white line!) The Start Bay Inn, pleasant pub with good food,beer. Small shop post office in Torcross. 10 mins walk via footpath to Stokeham village. Ate in The Tradesman Arms and The Church Inn. Preferred TCI, Good atmosphere, excellent food, beer. The night we were in a Jazz band was playing! Circular walk via Stokenham, Beeson, Beesands and Torcross. Cricket Inn at Beesands well worth a try. Friendly with good food. Stunning rocks on seaside walk back to Torcross ( if the tide is out) Enjoyed our stay, will return when next in Devon.
An oasis of calm, in an area of outstanding tranquility. Just back from a relaxing week at this spotless site. Lots of places to visit less than an hours drive away and plenty of good walks, if you don't want to drive. This was our first visit and we will be back in 2017.
Having read the reviews about road access to this site I was rather anxious about driving our motorhome to the site alone as my husband usually does most of the driving. Yes, some of the roads from Kingsbridge are narrow but with the 20mph speed limit through the villages and parked vehicles also limiting the road width then all vehicles have to take their time, so as long as you have some patience and are not rushing to arrive there is nothing to cause concern. On arrival the Wardens on duty were welcoming and helpful, even a kind offer of assistance hooking up - something else that is not usually my job. This site is well looked after and the facilities are spotlessly clean and warm with powerful hot showers. The staff were more than happy to supply useful local information about places to eat and from the site it's a short walk to two pubs serving good food and also a farm shop and cafe. I would thoroughly recommend this fairly small, quiet site but don't all rush to book at once as we would like to visit again later in the year.
