 The site is in a beautiful location with stunning views of the River Dart.

The site managers were friendly and helpful especially when my father in law had a couple of issues.

The facilities were kept clean and tidy.

Would definitely recommend.

Just one note to the owners, don't turn the site into seasonal pitches only. It needs to be enjoyed by all.

 Great location only met two staff dave and his wife who keep the park very well maintained.

We had a hard standing which was fine some grass pitches are on slopes so take something for under legs.

 Amazing view of the River Dart from this site and well placed for exploring the south coast. Areas of grass to sit on and admire the view or get some shade under a tree.

Facilities were very clean and the wardens were helpful.

We did find the pitches quite small though and the showers need updating to provide a more pleasant experience.

 The site is tiered and our pitch was on the bottom tier. Very quiet and peaceful with views of the sea in the distance.

Elsan disposal and litter bins were quite convenient but the toilet/ shower block was right at the top of the site and a real trek to get to.

We had fully serviced pitch which was great so we didn’t have to move the motorhome for the whole week as we had relatives staying close by and went out with them every day.

Went to Greenway and Coleton Fishacre NT properties. Very central for all Torbay towns.

I would definitely return.

We passed through Galmpton village but didn’t stop but they had a general store and butcher which looked pretty good. A fish and chip van was at the site on Friday which was our last night - a lovely way to end a fabulous week.

 This is a lovely open site with wonderful views of the Dart River. The site is very well kept and peaceful waking to the sound of sheep and cows.

The pitches are spacious. The toilet and shower block was very clean and at the far end of the site. The lady on reception was very helpful and friendly

It's a short walk to the village shop and local pub. There are some lovely local walks along the dart valley trail and greenway trails.

WiFi was extra

Will definitely return.

Reviewer: Journo 27 reviews from this member

 Fantastic views, handy for walking and lovely places to visit round about.

Ground staff always pleasant and helpful.

Good sized pitches.

However, for the price, the showers and toilets aren’t up to scratch. They’re cold, dreary and dated.

Nor is there a proper motorhome service point. If you need to run off your grey water or fill up with clean, you have to do so over a drain and block the entrance and exit roads.

Recycling siting doesn’t encourage use.

 Lovely site with very clean facilities. Dave and Julie were very nice and very accommodating.

Will definitely return.

Had a slight issue with a caravan owner claiming his territory (pathetic really)

But all in all enjoyed our stay.

Good walks nearby and the manor inn 5 minute walk was excellent.

Brixham 3miles from site.

Reviewer: Neilan 1 review from this member

 Really beautiful setting overlooking the river dart. Weather had been rainy before and on arrival, pitch was very muddy as a result. We were on hard standing pitch which was good considering the weather, but gravel standing wasn't well kept, with weeds coming through area. Grass next to gravel pitch was not usable given the heavy rain so we could use this for the two nights stay.

Toilet and shower blocks were ok, I've seen much better, and quite cold and dreary day in the top left hand corner of the site.

Dog walk/exercise area could have been better. Only 100sq meter patch of grass, but better than nothing.

Reviewer: RJBS 1 review from this member

 Stunning views of the Dart Valley from the site and from most pitches, but we were allocated a pitch with no views and when instructed we could not have the van facing the river, had to reverse it onto a very poor hard standing sloping pitch which was totally unsuitable for twin axle caravan.

That was not a good start, but having set up with many blocks to level the van, it was even more annoying after walking around the site to find there were many other vacant pitches that were far more suitable with river facing views and were not occupied the entire 7 nights.

Four motor homes that came on after had similar treatment, with adjacent pitches to ours and were made to reverse onto the pitch with no views.

What could have been a 5star site and experience with a little more investment in making the hardstanding pitches more level and by giving choice of pitches to tourers was ruined.

We would not be using this site again.

 Loved the site and the managers were really friendly and helpful.

The view from the site is incredible and the site is so well kept.

Would definitely return as it was one of the better sites we visited.

 Excellent site for good walks, great bus routes. Good place to explore Dartmouth, Torquay and surrounding areas. Good ferry, bus and on foot routes.

Not quite sure why no toilet/shower block, shop of information point/ leaflets. We have stayed at numerous sites since the recent opening all of which have at least offered toilet/ shower block and information point.

Went to Brixham local town where there is a Tourist information point but this too was very poor. So if your going here do your research before you go

Reviewer: Dartgirl81 24 reviews from this member

 We've stayed here many times over the last few years, and have enjoyed it.

However as another reviewer (Flashdan) states it's time for a makeover and needs some money spent on it.

The showers are dated and need modernising. They look old and very utilitarian, old brown tiles, flimsy cheap shower curtains, and the block was damp, cold and smelly (maybe a blocked drain?) - for their charges (top dollar) a bit more luxury and decent quality fittings! Everything is an 'extra'

The hard standings need re-laying as they have lots of weeds and not a lot of shingle left.

You do (if you're lucky), have great river views, but obviously the view from a lot of pitches is obscured by tree's etc, but I guess the site can't do much about this.

The wardens work hard to keep the site clean and tidy, they are also helpful and friendly.

Think I'll give the site a miss, til it's been updated, and the facilities match their prices.

Although they usually give the generic reply that they are comparable with other sites in the area. Perhaps they need to go and have a look round these comparable sites.
