Hi there,
We're (2 adults, 2 kids) looking for sites in Devon that won't break the bank over the summer and hoping someone on here has stayed at a little gem? We're hoping for under £15 a night, don't need electrics, just toilets and showers really. Have searched the threads and not found anything yet and the map search is daunting!!!
Cheers, Tracy

Try Higher Well Farm, lovely site and owners - we've been going there for 30+ years.    Not a commercial site, no pool or anything, but lovely and quiet......

It's lovely to walk down to Stoke Gabriel and do some crabbing, our kids used to love it.

We're now taking our granddaughter there

I didn't go last year but used it several times in 2015 as I'm local and just went as a quick weekend away from noise!

Do you want to be near a beach, in the countryside or Dartmoor?

Thank you. That does look like a lovely site but at £25 a night is too much. :-(

Hi Mike, Coastal would be fabulous but I know that puts the prices up. South coast ideal.

Sorry to gatecrash - have you visited this site please? The website makes it sound idyllic, but in the absence of any reviews I am concerned that the proximity to a the A38 would generate a background of road noise. Being a tenter (and a light sleeper) wouldmake this a no no for me.

thanks

Check out Slapton Sands - very small site but walking distance to the beach. Facilities too.

Decent point. I have not actually stayed there so am unable to really comment on the road noise, however I live about a 500mts, straight line, away from the site towards Dartmoor and we are not affected by road noise.

It is a lovely spot with stunning views, and I guess being close to the A38 does make it easy to get anywhere, Plymouth or Exeter about 30 minutes either way, Dartmoor right on the doorstep and a great selection of lovely beaches all within an hour.

The site near Slapton beach would be a real good choice, a stunning area with some of the best beaches around, Slapton, Hallsands, Beesands (my favourite) and Blackpool Sands. Just be aware it will get very busy during the holidays. May, June and September is the best time of year to visit if you can. 😀👍
