Taw View electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Small, friendly campsite, just off A road separated by a field, so Road noise was minimal. Well situated for local National Trust sites & beaches, see campsite website for suggestions. There's a Texaco petrol station with a good selection Londis shop just up the road, which sells pastys made at the campsite, and The Rising Sun pub is a 5 min drive away that does good food. There is also a pizza van opposite the pub every Wednesday. Good phone signal on 3.

Disliked: Only 6 Amp power on site & pitch needed levels. Warning, severe pot holes on entrance.

From the manager: Thank you for your review of our site. This winter we have seen an exceptional amount of rain, which has caused major potholes. Since you've written your review we have filled in all of the potholes in the drive and car park.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: The weather when I stayed was awful but Emma had moved my pitch so I was close to facilities and on hard ground. Emma was really friendly and helpful. Site is off the beaten track, which I prefer, but within a short drive of most places you’d like to visit.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely area so close to the coast and a good few National Trust places. I felt safe and secure which is so important as a young solo camper, the owner Emma came and met me to help me settle in and was so lush! Definitely camping here again!

Local attractions

For coastal days, the nearest beach is Instow, on the Torridge Taw estuary, 20 minutes’ drive away. Alternatively, set off to the north Devon coast for days at Saunton Sands or Westward Ho! (both half an hour’s drive), or Woolacombe (45 minutes). Offshore trips to Lundy Island run from Bideford (25 minutes). How about a hike instead? Both Exmoor (25 minutes) and Dartmoor (40 minutes) national parks are good places to get out for a proper walk. Cyclists may instead choose to take to the Tarka Trail from Barnstaple (15 minutes’ drive, or get there on the train from Umberleigh, a couple of miles away) Less energetic days out nearby might include a wander around Exeter (50 minutes’ drive, or take a train), pottering through the farmers’ market and shops in South Molton (15 minutes), or visits to RHS Garden Rosemoor and Dartington Crystal (both 15 minutes).
