 This is an excellent site. It is large with sufficient facilities (several blocks - all kept very clean despite the rain and wind while we were there).
The showers were lovely and warm and there are good dish washing facilities. There are several washing machines and tumble driers in one of the blocks. Lidl and Sainsbury are a short drive away and the campsite shop sold essentials. Lovely friendly staff. Our pitch was a good size.
The camp site has lots of tents and families there which was nice. It got a little noisy at weekends but at the quiet time of 1030 it was nice and quiet. The camp site it beautifully dark at night so you can see the night sky clearly.
We enjoyed the surrounding area - Dartmouth is beautiful. We went to Dartmouth swimming pool which was excellent. The theme park at the camp site is really great - we went to see the birds of prey several times and our girls loved the farm animals. We spent several of our days there.
We travelled to the aquarium at Plymouth, also Torquay and Paignton.
We would definitely go back again.

Very good!
The site is very well laid out, with enclosed hedged areas with hardstanding and hookup for about 8 units.
We had chosen the hardstanding because we were told over the phone that the grass pitches with hookup were "sloping". However when we looked at some of the grass areas they did not seem to have much of a slope, so I recommend those, as hammering rock pegs into the hardstanding was very hard work.
Toilet facilities are good, and never busy (in early June), and the site was very quiet when we were there.
Free entry to all the activities is a real bonus, as day visitors pay quite a lot, and there is plenty to see and take part in.
Even better, with an ACSI card you get the camping at a considerable discount!
The staff we encountered were all excellent and really friendly.
The food offering, though, looked pretty dire - we looked at what was on offer, but it was not for us.
The location is good, as there are bus stops for both directions just outside the entrance. Using these to go into Dartmouth (excellent for boat or train trips and fish restaurants), or to Totnes, rather than driving, makes a lot of sense. Also in the Dartmouth direction there is a handy stop near the supermarkets: Lidl and I think Sainsbury.
I have one other remark, and this is not the fault of the site: One day we took the steam train (excellent) from Dartmouth to visit Paignton, only because my parents had their honeymoon there in the 30s and like it. Don't go! It's a horror, and makes Blackpool look refined.

Even though we didn’t stay this camp site has been amazing
We have been back year after year from when our son was 6 years old and is now 25
It’s just a shame because of COVID we couldn’t attend but a must for any family

So many activities for the children in the park, you get free entry everyday to Woodlands when staying for a few nights.
It obviously gets busy in the school holidays (we were there at half term), but the toilets/showers are kept as clean as possible while dealing with large numbers of campers.
Well organised on arrival but you may have to wait a while for the wardens to show you to your pitch at peak times.
Pitches were a good size, level and all were within a reasonable distance of showers/toilets.
On site shop had a fairly poor selection but the food outlets on site were good, food priced as expected for this type of venue.

We liked the way the caravan pitches were set out in bays of 8. We were pitched with 3 other caravans/ motor home without children which meant we could have a quiet stay feeling very relaxed.
We also liked the separate shower rooms. We only used the general store once and unfortunately it only had one of the items we needed in stock. A swimming pool would be nice.
Overall though we thought the site was very clean and attractive and the wardens were very friendly.

I liked the organisation with the people on the little cars, I was near the toilette, great, being alone with an active small child!
The rides and leisure park was great! disinfected and safe, well done!
Also good to have the play park in the evening,
The park near the camping is great!
There is NOT GOOD FOOOD to eat at all, just JUNK, CHIPS, AMERICAN PIZZA, ice creams!
It was difficult to RECYCLE, I could see in the metal bin, bag with many recycling things,
There should be Those container NEAR THE TOILET, necessary for the environment!
I do not like barbecue smell, BUT I can tolerate it!
I give 9 score

We loved that they looked after us with great social distancing & cleaning of the rides in the theme park.
Giving a great plot of land for our motor home.
Great facilities too!

I'm not sure if many people know this, but every year, they do an amazing offer for up to July 19th (some exclusions over Easter, May Holidays etc), which is 5 nights, including your pitch, 2 people, a dog, awning, car, electric etc, for just £65 (2020 prices, last year we paid £58)- & considering this includes entry daily to the huge theme park, then it's a bargain.
We even had a go on a couple of scary rides (sat next to a 7 year old - it was me, (69) doing the screaming)! We pay £4 a night extra due to 2 dogs (small dog walking area, but as the top huge field is empty until the summer holidays - so much walking space!).
It is situated in a wonderful area, just a few miles from Dartmouth, and we enjoyed it so much last year, we rebooked for this year. Not many places are in such a great area, with so many facilities nearby for such a small fee.
Wardens are friendly, shop looks like it's come straight off the OK Corral set, loos & showers are very clean, if a little dated. Above the block near to us, were bandit style machines, games machines, pool table & a huge TV.
All in all, we loved it, and those we spoke to whilst there, also loved it.

We stayed here for 3 nights in our own motorhome, we had a nice spot more or less next to the shower facilities which were spotless, we were also close enough to the park, which we got to use for free for the full 3 days we were there, we got to go into the park at night but obviously couldn't go on the mechanical rides but could use the rest of the facilities which the kids thought this was great as they were the only ones there at the time, the food areas were a bit expensive which these places usually are, overall all adults and kids had a great time and would highly recommended there was so much to do for all ages
