Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, no cars, two person)
Liked: I stayed one night as part of a small bikepacking group and felt very well looked after. We were given our own area of grass to camp on away from vehicles which was close to amenities. We cycled part of the east Devon trail and loved it. Very good value
Disliked: A bit of noise from other campers late at night who were up drinking and shouting

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite (large)
Liked: Location, proximity to coast.
Disliked: Recent visit with four families. Site is basic. Pitched next to busy road with limited sea views and adequate facilities. Could do with some improvement to groundworks, potholes, low amp electrics, cobwebs etc. Was a pleasant enough experience until 3rd evening. Female member of staff behaved in a disgusting manner. Returned from an afternoon offsite, to be approached by a speeding/revving golf buggy. Since learned that while speeding she shouted at my 9 year old to ‘get out the way’, without slowing down. She then jumped out, screaming and gesticulating rudely, repeating herself and refusing to engage in any sort of civility. Whilst responding, her behaviour was highlighted as unnecessary & disproportionate. She continued ranting and raving, “who do you think you are, using my land, this is your final warning, leave or I’ll call the police’ &falsely claiming to be intimated by a member of our party, laughable given her conduct. This left all the children in our party distressed, several in tears and terrified. It ended by her sat in the cart radioing, within earshot, to tell other staff that her approach ‘may have been a bit firm’, before returning to the office. Thus within minutes she was offered the demanded payment- which she then declined to accept, did rescind on previous accusations/threats and offered an excuse about a past set of campers, that supposedly warranted this approach to customer relations! For transparency, our offences were 1) Using a pop up goal, on an adjacent bit of grassland behind our pitch, so as not to disturb any other campers (which was flimsily roped off, indicating no vehicular access but with absolutely no signage or communication to suggest it couldn’t be stepped onto and was entered by many other campers). Goal had already been up for 24 hours+ with an older man patrolling the site in an unmarked car, plus golf buggy coming & going with new arrivals over a busy bank holiday weekend. There was no interaction or concerns raised at any point during this or when members of our party had asked unrelated questions in passing. She went berserk when we suggested that based on this, we had no idea it was a problem, but would gladly take it down in a process that would take approx. 5 mins. And 2) a gazebo, put up in the rain that morning (on our own pitch) after a previous telephone enquiry, that confirmed we could bring and pay for this, on a ‘need to basis’. We were not due to check out until the following morning, so payment was expected, but not urgent. Absolutely none of this warranted anymore than a polite request. Never-mind shouting ‘you should have asked’ multiple times and wildly denying that we in-fact, already had. For further context, see images & website invitation to enjoy nature at a traditional peaceful campsite, ‘with plenty of space for kids to play’, alongside examples of other direct signage used on site. There was no ponies or poultry. Sheep are in a fenced off field, beyond the offending grassland, so you are inevitably not welcome to approach or ‘make friends’, as advertised. That evening, the man patrolling continued, speaking to us for the first time, quite bizarrely asking if we were enjoying our stay. He did state that we were welcome to ignore stipulated check out time as ‘they were not busy’, so there would be no need to rush off in accordance with stated rules. Whilst appreciated, this applied to all & was not a veiled apology to our group. Interestingly, we had been approached by another family on arrival and warned about negative staff attitude, but ourselves found it to be pleasant/normal (hands-off approach), until this shocking outburst. If you are considering booking here, do note several other reviews that indicate an ongoing theme. As seasoned campers, this was a terrible experience and I strongly suggest that families AVOID this site. I do not recommend, due to the risk of harassment. Would not return if paid to.

Liked: Oh my what can I say. What a great site to stay at. Linzi was amazing from the moment we arrived. It was my sister and I long family catch up with my other sister and her family just down the road in ottery. The campsite was perfect, we arrived just after 4pm and Linzi showed us around. The site has fresh water to drink, wash up area, plenty of toilet facilities and 3 showers that was very hot. We where concerned about the site getting busier as they were due over 40people and only 3 showers, but we had no problems at all. There is sheep in the other field and plenty of birds singing to wake you up. The sea view is so good, i didnt get down to the beach but have heard that seaton is worth a visit. I would definitely be back again when I'm down this way again.
Disliked: The place is great, but if im being fussy, maybe the path between the road and the site carpark could do with a fill-in as it's very deep. There are mats, but they do move.
