We had a lovely week on the site, there is a slope but were we where it was manageable. The views to Seaton and the sea were lovely and also across the wetlands and tramway. The toilets and shower blocks were clean and modern, you did need to keep pressing the button on the shower as it kept stopping but that was only a minor issue. The kids playground was great, my daughter loved it in there and we could easily see her from the tent. The dog walking area was ok although I didn't let mine off lead as felt it wasn't 100% secure for mine being sight hounds! Other breeds were let off without problems though. The site was quiet and relaxing although very windy but that is obviously out of the site's control! The chemical toilet disposal was the disabled toilet and not a separate area as on other sites. The site shop was open 9-1 and had very limited supplies. There is a Tesco in Seaton for anything that you need, food wise. Award winning fish and chip shop - make sure you place your order and get a ticket though. The beach isn't dog friendly in the summer. Beer is very close and we found a back road that cut the journey time there in half! The town itself is very dog friendly and they are allowed on the East beach, it is pebbles but there were bathing shoes in a local shop that worked well. Cafes on the beach for tea, coffee, hot chocolate as as well as ice creams etc. The Anchor, Dolphin hotel and local chippy all allow dogs and the food in the latter two was very nice (didn't eat in the Anchor). Parking behind the Dolphin Hotel at £1 an hour. Seaton tramway was fun and allowed dogs on the bottom deck, the mini train at Beer was lovely for children but no dogs. Sidmouth beach was pebbles but there was sand at low tide. You have to walk through the dog ban area to get to the dog friendly area though which I felt was a bit odd! Connaught Gardens were lovely with some great views, free to go in and dog friendly.

This site has nice views towards the Jurassic Coast. The walk down into Seaton and back isn't too arduous but take a torch for the access road to the site. The town is nice apart from the two pubs on the sea front which are in dire need of a visit from the TV programme 'DIY SOS', they are really yuk. The other pubs were ok with friendly staff and nice beer. I recommend the Illuminated carnival which took place on 3rd Sept, it was really impressive. The site itself is a bit of a mixed bag with most caravan pitches being seasonal. The shower block wasn't up to scratch and needed some tender loving care. Because of this it was pretty grubby. The chemical toilet point was the worst I've ever used, it was just a rotten trapdoor out in the open. I felt sorry for the people near it having to see that. Owners - please screen in off ! Plus points - Polite and helpful staff. The price was very reasonable. The access to the animals in the pet area was very nice.

Just returned from 4 day break. Nice clean site. Decent sized pitch with excellent views. Shower blocks kept clean and tidy. Large play area for kids. Small shop with fresh eggs homemade sauce. Children's farm was excellent the kids where allowed to collect eggs, groom the pony and lots off other things to keep them happy for a hour. Only 15 pitches for touring caravans. Only thing that could be a problem to some is the steep hill down to showers but don't let that put you off.Will be returning again without a doubt.

Stayed here for a weekend whilst we visited family in Seaton. There were 2 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 9 and a dog. We pitched up quite late on the Friday night, we had a beautiful view of the bay. The children loved the park, but they loved feeding the animals the most, on the Saturday morning they went to look at the animals and were invited into the farm to feed them. It was lovely, very relaxed and friendly. They couldn't wait to get up again on the Sunday to feed them again ! The toilet blocks were nice, very clean and lovely nice hot showers. The walk into Seaton was very pleasant although a bit of a hill on the way back so not ideal for the less mobile. All in all a very nice pleasant site, that we would definitely return to.

Our first visit to this site, as located very close to Beer (home of some friends to catch up with) and chosen also due to good reviews. Nice and quiet site, which already 'homes' a good amount of seasonal vans. The site owners 'leave you to it' basically (which I prefer) and were most helpful and friendly during the booking and on arrival to site. There are several fields for tourers and tents, the tourers fields beings on a terraced slope (you will need levelling blocks though) and the tent field is generally more level. Two large and well kept toilet/shower blocks but although there were plenty of water taps on site, the grey waste and elsan were a bit of a trek, being adjacent to the shower blocks. The site is aimed for views out over Seaton, down the estuary to the sea beyond, with Axmouth being just across the estuary itself. Easy site to access, while being very quiet (no road noise). No club house on site. Small shop on site, but more of a 'farm-shop' than your usual camp site store as there's a small animal freehold on site too. Of the latter, kids are encouraged to help with feeding and grooming of the animals (chickens, geese, pigs etc). Kids play area central to the site and very safe, being well away from roads. Being only a mile or so out of Seaton, there are decent amenities nearby although not necessarily in walking distance. In conclusion, a pleasant site and worthy of a repeat visit. Reasonably priced and good value.

Nice, laid back & reasonably priced. However, there were many issues. Firstly, we were advised the top shower block would be closest, though we found the showers were lacking somewhat! Tried the showers to the south - a lot better & closer ! Facilities basic but more than adequate for our needs. Pitches good size, though I think 'hill' would be a better description than 'slope'. We awoke during the night every night having to hoist ourselves back up to the pillows in the bed having slid down the bed! We found some cardboard to even out the kitchen units otherwise this could have been a hazard. Unfortunately, we were pitched furthest from the dog walk, were you have to go round the playing area to get to it - quite a trek for my 13yr old lab, who was worn out by the time we got there! There is a horse field adjacent to the dog field, luckily my scottie was more than happy to sniff noses with them, but a small dog could easily get through the gate & into the field with the horses, which again, could be a hazard! Scenery is currently gorgeous as you look down the valley to the estuary & sea - However Tescos are building a new store which could be a blot on the landscape! They were building until midnight while we were there, then we were awoken every morning at about 5am by the bird chorus, nice but far too early! Needless to say, we didn't have 1 decent nights sleep while we were there. This will of course finish soon. The field was wet when we arrived & the grass had not been cut, so my linen trousers were soaked up to my knees by the time I got to the toilet block. They cut the grass where the caravans are situated but did not collect the cuttings - which made a mess in the showers. There is a 5mile speed limit - but the buggy they used on site went flying up & down the field at quite a speed, with their dogs running alongside it. The collie was aggressive to my younger female lab - who would submit to a cat! All in all we did enjoy ourselves, but would not visit the area again as all the beaches are pebbly & my dogs could not walk on it.
