Lovely campsite. Owners are happy to pick up walkers from the SWCP. Fresh farm eggs for sale and a little shop with basic provisions. Showers need a £1 coin to operate.

Basic field type campground next to A39. Basic facilities. Friendly owners will pick up hikers of the SWCP from Clovelly, otherwise it would be a bit of an unpleasant hike up the road.
Fab little place! Owners are super friendly and helpful – we were walking the coast path and they offered us a lift to and from Clovelly, even though they were in the middle of doing other things! There's a wee shop with drinks and sweets plus a couple other bits. There's a communal covered seating area. The showers and toilets were clean and did the job just lovely. It's a flat grassed site. Felt really spacious. It's by a road but it's not busy by any stretch and despite the wind and rain, managed to get a decent night's sleep. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Lovely all grass campsite. Despite the website suggesting otherwise, our 7.5m van was easily accommodated. Owners very friendly (they collected us from Clovelly a couple of times, which after a very long walk on the SW coast path & a nice evening meal in the pub, was very much appreciated!).There are a few pitches with water taps, so I would ask specifically when you book if that is important to you. You are close to a main road so you do hear some noise, but for us it was no bother at all.When we stayed, leccy was on a generator, which was turned on twice a day. As we were out walking all day, this made no difference to us at all, and I think the owner said their proper leccy should be on in October (2023), but do check if you need all day/ all night hookup.Recommended.
