  • Small natural family run site with sea views
  • Walking distance to coast path and beaches
  • Free hot showers, EHU, covered camp kitchen & freezer block exchange
We are a small family run campsite on the outskirts of Seaton with amazing views over Rame head and also Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. We only have a maximum of 10 pitches but lots of space to spread out and relax. Our site has plenty of open space and so is ideal for families with children. We have a small toilet block with a shower and two toilets for each sex. We also have a indoor camp kitchen with two washing up sinks and a freezer with free freezer blocks to exchange. We also have a washing machine for a small extra charge. Most pitches have an EHU and as we are on the top of a hill have relatively level pitches for the area. We are a very natural site so please don't expect gravel roads and manicured pitches. We like our wild flowers and weeds! As a consequence we have a great variety of wild life around the site. Wild rabbits are very common and if you are up early you may see deer wondering across the fields. We are home to newts, toads and if you are very quiet and lucky, lizards. We welcome well behaved dogs by arrangement but they must be on leads at all times.

Local attractions

The family and dog friendly Seaton beach is just over a mile down the hill. There is a lovely bridleway that runs from the bottom of our land down to Seaton. Seaton has both a pub and a restaurant, both serving excellent food and are very dog friendly. Just down the coast from Seaton is the popular village of Downderry with it lovely beach and restaurants. The SW coast path runs very close to our site and we are very happy to accommodate hikers. The beautiful harbour town of Looe is 4 miles by car and 3 miles by foot. You will recognise it as the town of Shipton Abbott from the BBC series Beyond Paradise.
