We stayed at Upton Manor campsite last week during our hike along the South West Coastal Path. On arrival, we were greeted like old friends! The manager couple were so friendly and made us feel really welcome despite our aching muscles and sore feet. The site and facilities were very clean, our pitch was great, other campers very friendly and I would recommend anyone to stay there. I'd also recommend the Chinese Restaurant Kam Boat down the road! The site is within walking distance of shops, pubs and eateries.
Our family (two primary school aged children) stayed at Upton Manor Farm camp site for a week in July 2011. It was our first time camping in our new tent and we had a fabulous time. We had a non-serviced pitch and stuck our tent in a lovely spot. The campsite only allows families and couples (no dogs) and so was very peaceful. The toilet block and washing up facilities were kept extremely clean. There was only a short walk to a beach and it was not too far to walk into Brixham. Probably worth a drive to the nearby Sainsburys to save money on groceries (there is a shop in the holiday camp opposite or a Spar down the road for emergencies). The couple running the site were extremely friendly and certainly enhanced our stay with their pleasant nature and local advice. I would thoroughly recommend staying at this campsite and, when we return to Brixham, we shall certainly be visiting again.
Arrived after a 6. 5 hour journey on a blistering hot Monday and pitched up on 68. Drive up the hill was a little challenging and well done to all those with caravans etc but nevertheless very picturesque. The campsite wasn't a disappointment and was everything we had been led to believe. Toilet and shower blocks were of a very high standard and the laundry services great. Very clean toilets/showers. We even had our own mole come visit on occasions as well as the wild rabbits. The site was quiet at night no loud parties etc.
St Mary's bay was a sight to behold but not for anyone with problems with their knees as over hundred steps to get to it, Brixham itself very quaint and lots to see, approximately 1. 5 mile from the site down a hill which was a little steep on the way back so watch those knees. Many areas accessible either by car, ferry, train or bus, we took a ferry to Torquay and weren't disappointed. The water park at Paignton very reasonable and a great hit with the kids, Blackpook beach (yes there is another blackpool) was absolutely gorgeous. Shoalstone swimming pool which is fed by fresh sea water dependant on the tide isn't far from the campsite, we found this by accident on our 2nd to last afternoon there but what a lovely oasis and best of all other than paying for the parking that was all we had to pay. Just to mention that apparently you can buy a weekly car parking ticket which we would've brought had we known about it sooner.
All in all a beautiful holiday, enjoyed by all of us and we shall definitely come again to Devon as it is without doubt a beautiful part of Britain, would recommend this camping site to anyone.
We had a excellent holiday here the last week in July and the first week in august. we were made extremely welcome by the staff who were both very friendly and helpful. Staff had a wealth of local knowledge as to places to visit with good directions. The site was well maintained, as too were the toilets and launderette. we were sited on pitch 1 near the main gate, I thought this would have been noisy with folk arriving at night, but it wasn't, we didn't even hear any loud music or disturbance from the campsite opposite. We both had a excellent holiday here and would recommend it to all, and hopefully we shall enjoy another holiday here in the very near future.
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
Spent 8 nights here over Easter in a tent. Got a flat pitch but most of the non-EHU ones are on a slope. If you want to be sure of a flat pitch then go for a EHU one.
Spotless facilities - looks like all the sanitaryware is new even though the buildings are older. Always lots of hot water in both shower/toilet blocks. Didn't use the laundry and washing up facilities but these looked very good, a couple of electric sockets as well. Hairdryers in ladies.
Minda, Brian and Jenny lovely people and nothing was too much trouble. They dealt with a problem family swiftly. The John Fowler site opposite not too much of a problem - bit noisy at weekends but if you pitched away from the lane then I guess you would be ok.
Occasionally people walking along the lane back to this site were noisy, sometimes the language a little colourful. There was a bus from that site into Brixham but didn't use it.
Not a particularly nice 20 min downhill walk into Brixham, through residential area. Site very well placed for access to the South West Coast Path. No children's' play area. Will definitely be back!
Have just gotten back from three (gloriously sunny) days camping (non hook-up) at this site with my partner and our 7yr old. We found the toilets and showers to be clean and well equipped, and there are laundry and washing-up facilities available (though we didn't use them so unable to comment). The site owners were really helpful and accommodating, and provided a map of the area and some information on local attractions.
My one gripe is that some of the tent pitches are really really close to the pub/clubhouse of the Holiday Park across the road, and in the evenings it was really really noisy. The pub stays open until at least 12:30ish on the weekends, and it made relaxing really difficult. I appreciate that this isn't the fault of the site owners, but we really would have appreciated being told about the noise before hand so we could have made a better decision as to where to pitch up.
Overall a good base from which to explore the Riviera, but bring ear plugs!
What an absolutely fabulous camp site. Owners were very friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Shower blocks and toilets were clean and modern. Short 10 minute walk to the beach (beware of the steps though!) worth the huffing and puffing. Accepts pets and if you're lucky there is sometimes an off-peak flat rate for a weeks' stay - excellent value.
We stayed 2 nights at this lovely campsite, 2 adults and 2 x 13-year old boys. We were given a friendly welcome at the office and the staff were very informative about the local area, buses, taxis and how to get around generally. The shower blocks are absolutely spotlessly clean and look brand new, with plenty of hot water, hair dryers and full length mirror in ladies (nice touch). There are two blocks of showers which is good because if one block is closed for cleaning, then the other is still open. The walk to Brixham is downhill all the way and only took about 15 mins. We took a taxi back.
The beach at St Mary's bay is about 10 minutes away and there are steep steps down to it. You can use the shop at the holiday park opposite for essentials, but quite expensive. There is a small Tesco in Brixham and a Co-op for provisions. The staff warned us about the seagulls, and there are signs up not to feed them as they will invade your tent if food is left out anywhere. This site is for couples and families only which tends to make for a quieter site. We liked it here very much and would certainly return.

Just back from a week at this site and wanted to post up a positive review. To quote my good lady, the site's facilities, the toilet block, washing up etc were some of the best we've seen. Always clean, plenty of hot water and never seemed overcrowded. There were even good family shower rooms for those with babies and young children (as are we).
This is a basic site in the sense that there are no shops or designated playground areas however if you are looking for the real camping experience with good sanitation and space between plots this is ideal. On the other hand if you are looking for a substitute for butlins then go over the road to the John Fowler site.
The location of this site is ideal for enjoying the English Rivera of Brixham, Torquay and Paignton. The site is also close to the coastline with some great coastal walks possible (although not really suitable for bikes as we found to our cost).
Driving access to the site is not without it's challenge / delays, as is the issue for most of Devon but that's part of the whole experience.
Overall would we recommend and would we go back, a definite yes !
Stayed at this site last week for a few nights as a family of 3 plus a small dog. This was only our third time camping and we are basic campers but managed pretty well. We just needed a fairly level pitch (we were in the bottom field) and clean showers/toilets. The shower/toilet blocks were spotless at all times we visited and with with plenty of free hot water. Although this site takes dogs, you do have to exercise your dog off site and we actually drove off site in the car rather than walk across the field. This, I think, was slightly annoying but felt we had to as apparently there had been complaints from other campers about other dogs being walked up to the gate for their off site exercise. We would never let our dog off loose on a site but next time we would perhaps look for somewhere a bit more 'dog friendly'. On the other side of the hedge is a John Fowler site and unfortunately several of their visitors were extremely loud late at night and sound certainly does carry at night! I realise this is not the fault of the campsite owners and maybe we were just a bit unlucky, which leads me on to the word 'seagulls'. What can I say other than I have never heard so many loud seagulls in my life. They seemed to start at about 3am in the morning and went on for a couple of hours. Needless to say, my husband and I were exhausted although our teenage daughter slept through it all! A lovely area to say in and we enjoyed our break but if we visit this site again we will be bringing some kind of earmuffs!
We spent 3 nights at this pleasant site recently. The site is very conveniently situated around 15mins walk from Brixham town centre. The site is very close to the South West Coast path, which is handy for exploring!
The site is well maintained and facilities very clean, if a little on the smaller side. There are no play places on site for children. There isn't a shop on site but the Spar 10mins walk away is handy and there is a Fowlers campsite opposite which has a shop that you can access. When we checked in we didn't really get much information from the staff regarding the site.
The views were nice and the space adequate, I think the facilities would struggle if the site were full. The site is quiet and relaxed.
Really nice open field site, facilities are very clean, as previous reviewer mentioned showers are a bit of a pain to use and were a bit too hot during our stay, washing up room is also strange with large deep sinks but no draining boards so the floor and countertops end up swimming with water. Laundry room was great with 2 large washing machines and 2 huge dryers, cost approx £10 to do a weeks worth of washing which I didn't think was too bad.
A point to note if you are visiting in a motorhome is that there is no dedicated motorhome service point and only 1 tap on site that you can connect a hose to,(at the side of the main toilet block), we managed ok but it was a bit fiddly to empty our waste tanks.
There is no shop on site but you can walk 2 mins down the road to the John Fowler holiday village and use their shop. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful and always stopped for a chat whenever we crossed paths.
The walk down into Brixham takes approx 20 minutes at a leisurely pace, the return trip takes a bit longer as its all uphill :(. Brixham is a lovely village with plenty of shops, pubs & places to eat, you can also catch the ferry over to Torquay for a nice day out. I would highly recommend this site and would return here if we visited this area again.
We have just returned from our first 10 day holiday at this delightful campsite.
The staff are friendly and helpful, the facilities very clean and well maintained and the pitches generously sized and well drained.
Our grass pitch was level with a hook up and situated near a water point and both sets of showers, toilets, dishwashing and other facilities.
When we first arrived the plastic cistern at the chemical disposal point was damaged and difficult to operate. I was deeply impressed the second time I needed to use it - it had been replaced with a brand new, high quality cistern!
Upton Manor is ideal if you want a quiet, beautifully maintained, non-commercial site, within easy reach of the many lovely beaches and places of interest on the Devon Riviera.
We will be only too delighted to return there next time we plan a holiday in Devon!
