WHAT WE DO We offer basic facilities, i.e. a field and Devon's finest Tap Water. A few handy extras, like free cups of tea in our "Tea Shed" with a stunning view and adding more all the time, all within a two minute walk of the Palk Arms. Feral children are welcome that wish to run off some steam with laps around the field. Their well behaved owners would also be welcome along with friendly dogs. Bringing camping back to a time where you made your own fun, parents could actually relax with a real visit to the beautiful Devon countryside. A space where memories are made! SOME OF THIS WATER Devon's finest Tap Water is provided.

CHILDREN'S PLAY AREA At the bottom of the camping field our little cherub decided she would share her play things with other children, for the Under 10's (Supervision is a must) swings and a climbing frame with a small slide. Latest addition is another 16ft trampoline and a small climbing frame, for bigger kids at the top of the field, again supervision is a must and used at campers own risk.

TEA SHED Our little Tea shed, near the pitches, is where you can do your dishes and make a cup of tea, or coffee if you need an awaken-er. We leave tea-bags and coffee sachets here for campers to use. Tourist info is also in here with a large ordnance survey map on the wall. WATER RECEPTACLES AND A LIGHT SPRINKLING There are two toilets with electric showers in them, each contains a loo, shower, basin and a bench, this is so if you have a family and need to keep them contained, you can attempt to make yourself feel awake without worrying. We have two more toilets (in sheds) with basins near the shower blocks, small but perfectly formed. (completed July 2016) Please note all camping spots are located at the top of the field and there is a walk down a slope to the toilets and showers.
