Stayed here for 2 nights in June 2011. Emailed them beforehand but they said just to turn up which I did. There was just one other tent there but a few caravans and some motor homes. Ground was very level. There are pitches which are numbered and quite big.
At bottom end of field where tents were there was a portable loo but was closed but if its open in high season I don't know. The 'proper' toilet block is at other end of site but only a minutes walk or so.
In ladies toilets there were about 5 toilets and some showers. Free hot water and were all extremely clean and tidy. Hairdrer available for 20p. Nice soft toilet paper, paper hand towels and hand dryer
The owners have a chalet type caravan which doubles up as reception and small shop. They sell a few tinned goods and I think ice cream, milk etc. Also some paperbacks available to read (used ones what people leave I guess)
The whole site had an air of tidiness about it.
Yes,as others have said the site is close to main road but the tent park is furthest away and also I think the fact that the road was busy always helped as then you just get a constant hum instead of a car every 5 minutes which for me I think would have been worse.
For once I didn't take my bike and cursed myself as the sustrans path runs literally at bottom of site. It was a scorchingly hot day so should have been very pleasant.There is bike hire available though I think next door.
There were handy water points and the bin area was very well contained and clean. I saw a sign for chemical toilet area but as I don't have one I didn't investigate.
No amenities such as play area, club house etc but there is a pub next door which also serves food but isn't noisy.
The lady who booked us in at this site was very helpful. The site itself was very tidy, the showers and toilets were very clean and warm, very important as I get older.
When we arrived we asked about the Pub next door, which is mentioned in other reviews, but she didn't know if it was open or not, bit strange as it backs onto the site. Quite disappointed to find it was only open on Friday and Saturday night and Sunday lunch time, as we stayed in the week not much help!
Found the noise from the A30 quite intrusive, but the Granite trail into Okehampton is not to be missed.
Stayed here in October as newcomers to Motorhoming! What a lovely introduction!
Nice quiet site, level pitches. Not much on it but beautiful clean shower block with hot showers and all mod cons, even a hairdryer. Had a code to use the shower/toilet block which I thought was a really good idea. Close to the busy road so a little traffic noise but didn't disturb our sleep. Didnt use the shop but nice to know it was there. Lady in Reception efficient but didn't seem particularly friendly / helpful - might have been having an off day! Can't fault the facilities though, we will definitely be back. Maybe we can get to know the staff a little better next time! Would definitely recommend.
Found this campsite when doing the Devon CTC route on the pushbike and was pleasantly surprised to find it fully open in December - was expecting to find it shut and just ask for a pitch with access to the loo and drinking water. £8 for a night was a bit pricey for 1 man with a 1 man tent and a bicycle, especially given it's right next to the trunk road. However, the manager allowed me to put my tent in the caravan field (nearer to the shower block and away from the dartmoor tramping teenagers in the camping field). Showers and toilets are LOVELY, radiators were on, disabled facilities for those who need them, good washing up room. Wouldn't stay there there for more than a night but for a CTC sleep stop it's perfect.
Award-winning camping and glamping on the edge of Dartmoor National Park near Tavistock, Devon. 40 grass and hardstanding pitches for tents, touring caravans and motorhomes with optional electric hook-ups. Choose between the scenic Daffodil Field with moorland views or the sheltered old walled garden. For those preferring a bit more comfort, the park provides camping pods and mega pods.
Immaculate facilities with free hot showers, toilets, hairdryers, underfloor heating, laundry, dishwashing, games room, small shop, WIFI and playground. The onsite manor house hosts a dog-friendly restaurant and bar serving evening meals. Surrounded by mature woodlands with direct access to Dartmoor, with Tavistocks amenities just a short drive away. Perfect spot to explore Devon and Cornwall's main attractions Find out more here
We stayed here for a night on the way down to Cornwall to walk on Dartmoor. We chose this campsite because it was one of the few in the area which had EHU, showers and allowed children and dogs. Not much to ask, you may think, but surprisingly few campsites offered all this. We worried about the traffic noise after reading reviews of the campsite but were pleasantly surprised that it was not particularly noisy. If you live in a town of any size you would hear the same in your back garden - the A30 was not a problem, and this was just before the bank holiday weekend! In fairness, the galeforce 8 winds and torrential rain may have masked some of the noise.
The site was excellent, with generous well maintained pitches, EHUs everywhere and showers and toilets which were clean, tidy and warm. Plenty of room for me and my little girl to manage without problems. My husband reported equal standards in the men's area. The site was very quiet with mostly caravans, and no kids charging around everywhere screaming, which was nice. Whether this was just when we were there or whether it's always calm here, I don't know. The dog had a disused railway at the end of the site to walk along so even he was happy! The owners were very friendly too, and were happy to sell us ice cream for our daughter even though the little shop [in their conservatory!] had technically shut.
The location is perfect for getting out onto north Dartmoor and of course there's lots of walking and tourist places to visit. As the access to the A30 is so easy it was very quick to get going.
Next to the site is a pub with playground. We didn't use it as we were only there for one night and were anxious to get the tent up before the storm really set in, but the owners said it was very good.
Overall, we were very impressed with the site. It is well positioned, has good facilities and is very reasonably priced. An excellent stop for a night or two, but equally I can imagine it would be fine for a longer holiday. We're certainly stopping off here again in the future.
Cycle toured here in torrential rain and this campsite was our salvation! Impeccably clean facilities and owners went out of their way to ensure we were looked after, as dry as could be and even offered their barbecue awning to us. Adjacent pub is good honest home cooked fare and again we were really looked after. Pitches are level, grass clipping free and clean. Road noise absolutely fine. Would wholeheartedly recommend
The weather was fantastic which always helps. The owners were so relaxed about everything, from booking to paying and this really set us off on a good note.
The showers were fine, the facilities for walkers were perfect right on the edge of Datmoor and the walk around Meldon Quarry is a must.
Others have complained about the traffic noise and this nearly put me off, I am so glad it didn't. Yes if you want to listen out for the noise you will hear it. I appreciate we were in a motorhome so not so aware of noise as tenters, but it was not a problem.
I would not hesitate in recommending this site. I will definitely go back within the next few months.
This is a private site located at Stourton, off the A386 and close to the A30 between Exeter and Launceston. Handy for touring Devon or walking on Dartmoor. The site has 38 touring pitches plus tenting area. Road traffic noise from A30 can be high especially at peak times.
The site is gently sloping on grass with gravelled run-in strips. Open all year and was very wet when we stayed in January. Be sure to pitch your awning on the north side because the prevailing wind can be strong. Electrical hook-up rated at 12amps.
Toilet block was in course of upgrading and was clean but is unheated. No additional charge for showers. Lighting to toilet block is triggered by movement sensors and then timed so you need to get a move on with your shower or toilet or you can end up in the dark. Take a torch just in case!
Chemical disposal facility. Laundry room with washer and dryer, iron and board. Washing up room combined with laundry. Gas refills available. Free-range eggs.
Recycling facilities for paper, plastic and glass. Dog walk
We paid £13 per night for a caravan with two people and an awning.
Supermarkets (Waitrose & Somerfield) at Okehampton (about 3 miles). Petrol station within 1 mile selling most basics. Public house adjacent the site doing meals all day.
Local attractions include Dartmoor, Castle Drogo (National Trust), Moorwellham Quay and Lydford Gorge.
The lack of heating in the toilet block was a major drawback for us for a winter site.
However, we knew this already and camping this time of year where you don't spend the evenings outside, it wasn't a problem.
We found the pitches a bit small, but as campsite was only half full, not a problem.
Lovely situation, with walks onto Dartmoor direct from the site, also a cycle track.
Would visit again, only off-season though.
