We have 22 tent pitches in the field, 11 touring pitches (5 of which are hard standing, 6 grass) and 3 privately enclosed pitches.

In addition to traditional camping options, we offer 4 glamping pods. Three standard pods sleep up to two adults and two small children each, while one family pod accommodates up to four adults. Our pods provide a unique camping experience with picnic tables for dining or relaxing with a glass of wine. Please read details of the pods on our website - take everything you would normally take camping except the tent. The shower block is conveniently located behind the pods, ensuring easy access to amenities.

Guests can enjoy walking in our dedicated dog-walking area and admire the spectacular views across to Dartmoor from our Camping Field. Onsite, we have a smallholding where we produce our own cider and we keep bees, chickens, ducks and Gloucester Old Spots pigs. Please also note we are low on pigs this year due to rising cost of animal feed and allowing the grounds to recover from 38 pigs last year - we just have 'George' at the moment.
