We found the site to be well laid out, clean and tidy. There is even a sea view at one corner of the camping field. The toilets and showers were plentiful even at peak times and the water was always hot. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a walk from some of the pitches to the toilet block. The shop was small but adequate and the staff were very friendly - especially to the children.
The site was busy and there was some noisy larger groups but no noise beyond 11pm. This site is next to Sidmouth, which has a stoney beach but is beautiful. There is a nice pub/eating place The Blue Ball. It has a lovely beach side cafe and a couple of ice-cream shops, selling wonderful flavoured ice-creams. There is also the Donkey Sancuary (a free trip). The next nearest sandy beach was Exmouth (10 miles) which was spacious and had good parking despite it being fantastic weather. All in all, a great base for a family beach holiday - but at least 50 miles from the other Salcombe.
Had a great long weekend here despite terrible weather.
Very clean well ordered site without feeling we were under strict guidelines. Plenty of good shower / toilet facilities. Pleasant fields for pitches, plenty of space. Good views. Nice playground not far from pitches for kids. Small putting green. Professional staff. On the pricier side but we felt it was worth it. The site was only about half full but you got the impression they could cope with a full site.
Plenty to do in the area. Most beaches shingle and pebble. Great walks. Sidmouth very nice if a little steady, Beer & Branscombe worth a visit. Waitrose supermarket on main road to Exeter just past Sidford. We walked along the road (15 mins) to the Donkey Sanctuary which has free entrance, good little cafe there, also a path to this over fields. We also walked to the nearest beach (35 mins) over fields, slopes and steps.
We went out for a meal on Saturday night, we were not allowed to book in the Blue Ball (nearest pub in Sidford on main road, food looked good on menu) and it was full when we turned up, so we went on to the Boyd Inn in Stowford on the road to Exeter. Food was OK typical pub grub but cheapish, but another customer was complaining it was the worst meal he had ever had, I think he was trying to get money off and may have been expecting too much. Next time we would try going into Sidmouth.
We spent two nights here in June 2008. The pitches are a fair size but offer no privacy with hedging etc. We had a generally good stay here although I would say the bathroom facilities are limited if the campsite is full - about 7 men's loos for over 100 pitches.
I found it slightly regimented and sterile, being directed to a pitch number rather than having any choice over where to pitch our tent. Having said this, the upside of a regimented campsite is that it was properly managed and organised.
Arrived early on a beautifully sunny day. Friendly greeting and no issues that we were there so early. Small shop - can order newspapers to collect. Very well maintained site. Toilet / washing up areas are very clean.
However when shown to our pitches we could not have been further from the toilet / shower / washing up facilities. For the size of the site a second toilet block in the camping field needs to be considered. On Saturday night and for several days of our week we had strong winds and lots of rain. Walking up hill in the pouring rain, wind and on slippy grass can be very difficult and so we reolved to driving the children to the toilets.
Signs were then put up by the owners to 'keep driving on the grass to a minimum' - easier said than done in the circumstances!
The play area is, as are the other facilities on site, in the caravan area and the children did enjoy playing here when the weather permitted.
We were camping with a few other families and had requested two pitches with electric hook up. At the time of booking we were told we could not get the electric pitches together / close to our friends, however, throughout the week there were many pitches with electricity available and we felt that with better planning perhaps our request could have been met.
Close by Sidmouth is a pleasant seaside town with quite a good shopping area. Seaton is much the same. The very close by Donkey Sanctuary is a must for families with children. Free admission, you are able to join in with grooming the donkeys, find your way around the maze, follow one of the marked out walks and there is a nice tea room. The Blue Ball pub on the main road is children friendly and serves good food though a little pricey.
All in all, the camp site is clean and well maintained
We stayed for one night in mid-September 2007. No pre-booking, just showed up with a car and two-man tent. A bit expensive at £11.65 per night but for one night it doesn't matter too much.
We were asked whether we wanted to go near the shower blocks or have a quieter spot further away. We're not bothered about facilities, so went for the quieter option and were led to the very bottom of the camping field next to one of the taps - which was indeed rather a long walk to the shower block.
The ground was not very level but reasonable for pitching, not particularly soft but we managed to pitch up nice and firmly - which was needed as the winds were rather strong.
There were no other tents on the camping field so we had plenty of peace and quiet from other campers. I think at one point in the night we heard braying noises from the nearby donkey sanctuary, but it wasn't particularly disturbing.
The donkey sanctuary is very close, and worth an afternoon's visit to see the donkeys and the work of this charity, there are also some lovely (although long) walks down to the sea.

Just had 2 fab nights at this lovely site. Weather was great - rare for 2007! - so that helped. Staff very helpful on arrival. Took us to hard-standing motor-home pitch with electric and water tap. Not too far away from any of the facilities. Toilet/washroom facilities oldish but always clean and plenty of them, never had to queue once. Washing up room (under cover) was great and even had piped music for you to wash up to! Site was very quiet in the evenings, but I guess it was 'out of season' so it may be different at the height of summer? The walking from the site was great, although steep where ever you wanted to go! I'm told it does you good?!?!? Walked one way (towards Branscombe) to see what's left of the grounded MSC Napoli and the other way to Sidmouth. Salcombe hill is a killer on the way back! Had a brilliant Sunday roast in the Old Ship Inn, Sidmouth - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Didn't get time to explore much more, but would go back.
The campsite was very good, hot water in showers, no queues, clean, not crowded and a good use of space. Bit perturbed about the noise from our neighbours. I would like the wardens to take a more active 'walk' approach, as I dont like having to complain to people at 0100 about the noise their kids are making. To be fair though we complained the next day and the warden was round there within 5 minutes. Also the pitch sizes are not that great for the modern 'taj mahal' sized tents that we all seem to be buying :-). Overall would recommend it, but if you suspect noise, go and tell the warden to keep an eye.
We have just spent 4 nights at this campsite and it was really pleasant. We phoned Monday morning for a pitch that night and were told to 'come along'. Our pitch was lovely, really spacious, with a sea-view and not over-looked by other campers, though a little too close to the toilet block.
At night, the site quietened down very quickly, silent by 10:30 which was perfect as we have small children. The wind at night was howling though, coming in from the sea.
The play area was huge with plenty of equipment. The shop was basic but fine. All in all, a nice, attractive and friendly site.
This was the 1st site that we ever camped on having just bought a Khyam Nebraska Deluxe in April. Frankly we could not have made a better choice. We were shown to a pitch in the lower meadow [141 I think] which had fantastic views across the village & down to the sea, wonderful! The pitches are slightly on the small side for our whopping Nebraska, so we did feel slightly on top of our neighbours and will as a result be investing in an extra windbreak or two. The toilets were very clean & warm and went a long way to dismissing any fears that we had about camping in the UK. We're planning another quick weekender soon before heading off to France in August. We will certainly consider returning to this site & the lovely surrounding area. Just one word of caution, there are no local/late night petrol stations as we found out to our cost!

This is the second time we have camped at his site and if you are looking for peace tranquility and wonderful scenery this is the site for you. Rowdiness is not tolerated , a refreshing change from some other camp sites .
The walk to the beach is approx 30mins but who's counting your on holiday . On the way to the beach you pass a church a real hidden jem and they do afternoon tea and homemade cakes all very English and for a couple of pound a real bargain. There is so much to do all around this area the staff are always willing to advise you.
What more can I say we have already booked for July 2007
We stayed for 3 nights over the May bank holiday with another family and the site was quite full. A lot of reviews mention the shower block, it was not very big but it was adequate and clean. The pitches were of a good size and most had wooden tables provided, water and electricity was between the pitches. The site is situated on top of a hill which was very windy when we visited - good for flying kites. We enjoyed our stay with loads of space for the kids to run about and play. The walk to the beach is quite a trek but good fun we didn't fancy the walk back up the hill so we carried along the beach to Sidmouth and got a lift back to the camp site. Recommended.
We have enjoyed a lovely weekend at this site, which we found very peaceful even though it was quite full. We were on the main field on entering the site. Everyone was very friendly and one of the site managers helped my husband push the caravan on to the hard standing pitch which certainly saved an argument with me having to guide him back! The dog field was lovely, the only small criticism would be that the gate going back on to the camping field had a huge gap underneath which our dog ran under and almost straight into someone's tent -perhaps some chicken wire needed here! I do agree with other comments regarding the showers being cramped - this is the case compared to some sites we have stayed on, although they are very clean and wouldn't stop us from revisiting. It was a little bit of a rush to be off by 10am, an extra hour would have made all the difference. We did think about staying until the afternoon and could have done this for an extra £5. Lots of lovely walks nearby the site, including woodland, coast and of course the donkey sanctuary - all perfect for dogs.
What a lovely site, clean facilities, lovely views, picnic table for each plot, lots of hook up points, quiet bliss.
The signposts to the beach from the campsite don't indicate that it is a long way through cow filled fields and then a steep slope down to the beach.
The only downside to our very short stay was that as we had not realised that we had to be gone by 10:30am they asked us to leave! we had taken a walk to the beach which turned out to be a lot longer than we thought. There were lots of pitches available and there was really no need for us to go so early. We packed up quickly and were off by 12:30, then we went for a shower! we've never encountered this before and found it a bit strange.
Would definitely recommend it but make sure you're gone by 10:30!
Excellent site, very clean and tidy, disagree with comments above about rules. Very friendly reception etc. Good sized pitches and very child friendly. Would recommend, do agree that loo block was a bit of a walk, but even over the busy August bank holiday weekend did not have to wait for a shower! Give it a go great site!
