I was on a three night stop watching birds in the area so I did not spend too much time on the site. But it is a cracking site. Very well kept, with nicely cut grass. The central block included toilets, showers (of which there were plenty), laundry room and a washing up room.
There is a children's playground with boats and climbing frames etc. The views from the site are superb, over the Dart valley, and so relaxing. I paid £12 a night for my little 2-man tent which I thought was a shade high for mid-may, but this could be typical Devon prices.
Galmpton has two pubs and a clutch of shops which I tried to support by buying my daily foods from. The pubs, the Manor Inn in the village centre is listed in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide and serves good ale and food.
The Weary Ploughman just outside the village towards Kingswear, is a very nice dining pub with smart decor and furnishings and comfortable suroundings - but at a price. £3.60 for a pint of ale.
This site is a good base for exploring South Devon. My birdwatching trips took me to Yarner Wood, Dartmoor, Slapton Ley and Berry Head.
There was even a Cirl Bunting singing from the trees on the campsite.
We stayed here for Half Term week, 2 Adults & 2 children and found this site to be a little treasure and the new owners very helpful. The views are wonderful and although some of the pitches are sloping there are plenty of brick slabs dotted about to help with levelling.It's worth it for the view!
The toilet & shower facilities are a little dated compared to CC updated facilities but kept lovely and clean with plenty of hot water, we never queued once to use any of the facilities and the site was very busy!
The play area for the kids is great with lots of things to climb on, slide down and hide in, as well as an area for ball games.
The kids loved crab fishing in Brixham and Stoke Gabriel.Great fun for all ages!
I spent an excellent Easter at this site. It's main appeal is its location - with a fantastic view along the river Dart.
The pitches are well sorted. Plenty of well placed water supplies, electric hook ups and drains. Mine was the perfect pitch, with a little triangular 'garden' protected by a hedge on 2 sides and nobody overlooking.
I could lie in my campervan bed and watch the lights of the boats at their moorings. And the woodland walks of nearby Greenway are a treat. The beautiful, but busy in summer, port of Dartmouth is a ferry or steam train ride away - about than 30 mins in either case.
It ticked all my boxes: Friendly staff, very well sorted pitches, well maintained, and a pub 10 minutes walk away. For kids there's a fun-looking playground. The loo block and showers were fine
As this was our first camping outing as a family we were just staying the night to ensure we had the hang of it. With a new tent and 2 little people under the age of 5 it was a little stressful but we survived in this fabulous place. The views over the river are amazing and we were lucky enough to have a pitch on the edge of the site overlooking the Estuary.
The site was very well kept. The hedgerows were under control and the grass was being mowed as we arrived. There is a great play park for little people, although watch out for the slide as it really heats up in the sun and gets quite hot!
The pitch was big enough, although to the uninitiated we had to work out what was the best combination of car/tent parking and pitching to get the best of the views and the slightly sloping ground. We had a bit of trouble getting the pegs in as under the first couple of inches of ground there are lots of stones.
The toilets and showers were a bit of a trek for us but no real complaints. They were clean but not terribly well lit. Best for us was the under 5's bathroom which was great, a little pricey at an extra £2.50 plus a £10 key deposit but worth it. Washing up area was good, hot water and well lit.
There is a little shop which our littlies appreciated as it stocked ice cream but definitely only the real essentials. There is a Sainsbury's not far away but be prepared for traffic.
All in all a good site and we would consider going again.
The views over the River Dart are spectacular. The site is well maintained, spacious, with plenty of facilities, which were also clean and well maintained.
The area has loads to do, great walks from the campsite and great beaches. Dartmouth, which is well worth a visit is within a couple of hours walk from the campsite through lovely woods along the River Dart, and there is a ferry or the steam train to get you back.

We spent ten days at this site at the beginning of April this year. Nice, peaceful site on edge of village within walking distance of train station with excellent access to places of interest. We did think some members of the Reception staff were a big 'vague' in the welcoming department but hey ho it was the beginning of the season and perhaps they felt a bit stressed ?
We chose a fully serviced pitch and these were all on terraces and all with magical views toward the River Dart. The pitch was a good size and with regulatory distance between each.
We had one very big gripe - the toilet block ! Old, cold and very dated. It was like something left over from the sixties and there were lots of little things like black pen used on the door to the baby changing room indicating it's use and which, incidentally didn't look particularly inviting.
Painted brick walls which always seemed to be running with water. Some loo cubicle doors appeared not to have locks ! and although the sign above the basins advised about the very hot water, I never actually got anything other than stone cold! Hated the idea of looking up but just had to - wish I hadn't as there was more life above me than on the site ! lots of cobwebs and other stuff.
The whole place needed a jolly good clean and frankly, it disgusted me and I dreaded the thought of having to visit it at night, it was so dingy. I can't imagine what this shower / loo block would be like in the height of the season ! I've no doubt that cleaning takes place every day but it just isn't good enough, it fell very short of acceptable.
Also, the position of the block is very inconvenient.
The block is sited on the very edge of the site and consequently, it's ok for those pitches closeby but the rest of the site necessitates a very decent walk. Could do with demolishing and re-building and perhaps a second one more central to the site.
Although this site has a very lovely situation, sorry to say don't think we shall re-visit until loo block is replaced or at least drastically improved and with a far higher standard of maintenance.
What a brilliant site. It is immaculately maintained, has fantastic views over the River Dart and stacks of space. The shower blocks and loos are kep spotlessly clean and are perfectly adequate.
The pitches are a good size and unlike other sites, you won't find stacks of vans piled in. The views of the river are great and the site and scenery is green and plush. The whole site is very clean and has a great feel.
There is a nice kids play area that you can easily see from where the families are put (but bot too close!) and because the site isn't over-filled, we didn't find it was full of screaming unruly kids.
The customer service is great - the wardens Mike and Peter are a couple of great guys who are really helpful and always friendly -they are a real asset to the site. We have probably stayed on a dozen sites over the last 2 years and I would have to say this has to be the best one.
We had a glorious fortnight at this campsite in the first few weeks of August 2010. It really is a gem - a friendly family run site with a view to die for! It was our first visit but we'll definitely be back again.
The site overlooks the River Dart and has a stunning view. We were asked for the size of our camper when we booked as the owners say they're very careful to choose the best pitch for each person, and make sure everyone gets a good view.
It's a quiet site with no bar or entertainment (bliss!). There's a nice play area for the kids including a galleon play area, small boat, swings and a slide. The toilet block is large and very clean. There's a washing up and laundry area which helpfully has an ordnance survey map on the wall. We didn't need to use the optional Under 5's bathroom, but it seems like an excellent idea.
The owners were very friendly and helpful. It's a family owned site and I think we met the whole family while we were there! We had a problem with our awning but the owner and his son helped us get it sorted quickly. Both pairs of wardens were brilliant.
The site is very well situated - there's so much to do in Torbay and it's so easy to reach from the campsite. There are regular buses from the main road which meant we didn't have to move the camper all the time. The pubs in the village did good food and the village shop and butcher was very well stocked.
All in all a lovely holiday - we'll definitely be back again and will recommend it to our friends. Can't wait to go back again.
My first proper camping holiday one my own with 2 young children. I spent a long time choosing this site using the reviews on here, and I was certainly not disappointed.
Campsite well maintained and the toilet block was immaculate. The wardens on the site were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Agree with the other reviews about the peace and tranquillity on th site. All was quiet (and stayed quiet!) all through the night.
My pitch was perfect and as I opted for EHU it was very spacious. Some of the non EHU pitches seemed a little crowded in, but as it was summer holiday times then I guess this is to be expected.
The location was excellent and I would highly recommend both Paignton Zoo and the Round Robin. Both not cheap for a family, but such a great day out.
We are just back from a very relaxed week of camping at this site.
The site is 10 minutes walk from the pub, which does excellent food and beer but fills up very quickly; and village shops which were well stocked and open 'til 7pm. Sainsbury's is a 15-20 minute drive but only 2 1/2 miles away. Road traffic can be a nightmare during high season around Torbay.
Showers, toilets, washing area, laundry; all spotless and well maintained. The grounds were always kept clean and very quiet after 9-10pm. There are 2 playgrounds; the main one by the wardens and caravans had slides, climbing frames, boats and swings while the small one in the camping field was great for younger kids to meet and chat.
There was enough space for softball cricket and football but it does mean that pitch sizes were tighter than we normally expect; not much space left over for outside sitting once the tent was up and the car was parked.
We can't fault the owners, wardens and maintenance staff; they do a great job of running a clean, safe and secure site. They have a good basic shop but encourage you to use the village businesses. They are a useful source of local information from ferry prices to zoo discounts and doctors.
We can't fault the location with everything you would need for a day out within 10 miles of the site. It's worth taking the ferry to Dartmouth and day trips to Paingnton Zoo / Coastal Life Centre are well worth doing. Good beaches around the bay as well as great crabbing in Stoke Gabriel. The South Hams have lovely walks and the landscape and wildlife is beautiful.
This is a lovely site that we will happily recommend to anyone and we are sure to return again.

What a great site! Friendly and efficient staff immaculate site and facilities. One of the first things I noticed was that the grass is kept short and they collect it during cutting, meaning that you don't get wet feet and soggy trousers in long grass or tramp much grass into the tent!
The views are lovely and the allocated pitches are fairly level(in an almost 'paddy field' fashion) considering the site as a whole is on quite a steep slope down towards the estuary. We also found the trees and wild hedgerows provided quite a lot of shelter from the wind.
The toilet/shower block is cleaned thoroughly every lunchtime and there's a decent hairdrier in the ladies, so I didn't have to spend the week looking like a scarecrow.
There's about 8 shower cubicles (free water- very hot), 2 wash cabins and lots of toilets.
The washing-up facilities were great too- immaculately clean with plenty of sinks, hot water and drainers.
There are 3 clothes washing machines and I had no trouble accessing one to do a quick wash (£2)and the machine was large enough to include a sleeping bag. Two 50p's in the drier dried everything perfectly in an hour.
And I don't think I have stayed at a quieter site. Apart from the owls the send us to sleep and a woodpigeon dawn chorus, it was really peaceful.
We would visit this site again if we get the chance!
On entering the park after booking in, what a lovely vista! Our pitch had a great view of the river! Mike and Peter the Wardens made us most welcome, and always had a smile on thier faces!
Being Disabled, I hired a key for the disabled toilet and shower, which was always clean with plenty of hot water, my husband used the gents showers, and said these were the same. Apart from two days of strong winds (which our awning survived)! the weather was fab! We even hired a beach hut at Broadsands Beach for the day!(which was a good price!) and went on the Round Robin Trip, starting at Churston Steam Train Station, just up the road! A Grand day out!
The Park was lovely and clean, and we'd definitely return !
This site is fantastic. What a gem to visit the toilet blocks are spotless and the views are breathtaking.When we arrived we where escorted to the pitch and the warden gave us a hand to set up, we forgot the waste pipe for the super pitch and the warden without a second thought went to fetch us one.
The staff are very friendly and helpful they are a credit to the site. Bus stop about 15 min walk, great pub just up the road. I have yet to visit a better site, we will always stay here when we are in Devon.We love the place.
Just got back from a wonderful five night break at this site. We loved it and thought it one of the best we've been to. The views were just as good as others have said, and the facilities were very good.
In the ladies there were plenty of toilets and washbasins, five showers, two washbasins within cubicles and a baby unit which had a baby bath and potty. We never had to queue. There was also a free hairdryer! Am told the gents had plenty of loos and showers too and there was also no need to queue. To be fair though, the site was not full.
In addition to four sinks for washing up, there is also a washing machine, dryer and iron if you need them.
The play area looked good, and there is also a table tennis table (bats and balls available to buy for £3.50).
The shop is small, but very well stocked for the size. There is also a tourist information room with lots of leaflets and ideas. If you want ice packs, they only rent theirs out for 30p each (they will freeze yours for 30p each, but only on your last night).
There is a large Sainsbury's 10 mins drive away.
We had amazing weather and had so much choice of things to do. We also did not have to get the car out every time we wanted to do something which we loved.
We walked to Brixham (took about 1hr 40 mins) and got the bus back (£2.00 and it drops you off about 15 mins from the site). We passed a farm shop about 25 mins walk from the site but unfortunately never quite got there before it closed at 5pm! It looked a good one though.
Greenway, (Agatha Christie's home and now owned by the NT) is a 35-40 min walk from the site - this was a lovely easy walk and a beautiful place to visit. The gardens are amazing and so if you don't fancy buying lunch there (which was good) it's a great place to take a picnic.
Just a note about the walking times - we're in our 20s and 30s, but we did have a baby in a back-carrier and kept stopping to admire the views! The walking times I think would be pretty fair for most people.
Totnes, Dartmouth and Blackpool Sands are all within easy reach and lovely places to visit.
It's a great place to stay and we have already decided we'd like to return!
When we first arrived and we checked ourselves in the staff was friendly, the facilities were splendid, the toilet blocks were very clean the cleaners that did the toilet's were marvellously clean. The sights were amazing to look at.
But there are a few problems: the dog walk could be a little more bigger also it could be splendid if dogs could come all seasons not just for a short time. Also there could be a closer toilet block towards the caravanning area so it is not as far to walk.
The surrounding areas were lovely, lovely views and walks. To conclude with this review I would like to say that mike and peter were a pleasure to meet, they are very good wardens. We enjoyed our time, views and people

I was on a three night stop watching birds in the area so I did not spend too much time on the site. But it is a cracking site. Very well kept, with nicely cut grass. The central block included toilets, showers (of which there were plenty), laundry room and a washing up room.
