Perched on the South Devon coast, this sprawling campsite offers a wonderfully peaceful retreat with stunning sea views. Its prime position means the beautiful, dog-friendly Milton Sands beach is just a short, gentle walk away, making it ideal for seaside lovers. The site prides itself on its relaxed atmosphere, allowing campers to choose their own pitch and soak in the surrounding nature without a formal check-in process. Cleanliness is a clear priority, with facilities kept in excellent order throughout the stay, especially noted in recent visits. The composting toilets are particularly well maintained and, despite some initial skepticism, are sanitary and largely odor free, though they can become smelly in warm weather. The showers receive mixed reviews, with many praising their power and heat, though a significant number of guests note they frequently run cold and lack door locks, which can be off-putting. A beloved feature is the well-stocked honesty shop, offering essentials and local treats like sausages and bacon, plus a shared fridge and freezer for campers' use. However, a recurring frustration is the limited supply of drinking water; the filtered tap often runs dry, especially during busy or hot periods, with no treated tap water on site. The pitches are generously sized and spacious when the site is quiet, but during peak season some find them too close together, particularly in certain corners of the field. Narrow approach lanes can be challenging for larger vehicles, requiring careful navigation and occasional reversing along typical Devon lanes. Noise levels are generally low and respectful, though the heavy toilet doors slam loudly, and occasional late-night music from other campers has been reported. The staff receive consistent praise for being friendly and helpful, and guests feel safe even when traveling alone. Fire pits are allowed, with wood available to buy, enhancing the rustic, back-to-nature experience. Overall, this is a peaceful, simple camping experience close to nature and the coast, ideal for those who appreciate simplicity and are prepared for basic, eco-friendly facilities despite minor quibbles about water and shower consistency.
