 We spent 2 weeks camping here and have to say it is the best campsite we have found so far in the Dartmoor area.
The views of Dartmoor from the tent field are amazing, and if you are a birdwatcher you would be quite happy not moving from your tent for the whole stay!
The site staff are helpful and friendly, and the site was always spotless. As others have said there are a number of signs, but we felt that they were informative to help ensure the smooth running of the site.
The showers were always gushing hot water and clean, and the covered washing up area was a good area to catch up with the other holidaymakers whilst doing the chores!
There are many walks from the site - giving the dog the chance to be let off the lead before reaching the moors, and in 2 weeks we only used the car for a couple of shopping trips to Tavistock and Okehampton, though they do stock basics at reasonable prices in the site shop.
The village cricket pitch is close by, and on a sunny weekend afternoon you can hear the sound of leather on willow - and if you look carefully through the trees you can see the men in whites, and Tuesday night is bellringing practice. These little extras all add to the relaxing atmosphere!
Our only words of advice is that if strong winds are forecast and you are in a tent, take extra pegs or camp at the bottom of the tent field - we survived but others weren't so lucky, (though we are talking strong enough to bring a tree down in the village).

We spent a weekend at this site while our son was taking part in the 'Ten Tours' event on Dartmoor; this site is well placed for dropping him off and picking him up at the end of the event.
There had been a lot of rain in the preceding weeks so it was not surprising that the camping field was a bit soggy but we found a good dry pitch.
The toilet and washing/shower facilities were well presented and very clean. In fact the whole site well very clean and tidy. The staff were helpful and friendly.
The views over the moor were extensive and the site benefited from plenty of wild flowers and bird life, which contributed to making it a very peaceful situation.
Nearby are Okehampton and Tavistock (both less than 10 miles), Lydford Gorge - beautiful but pricey, Dartmoor is adjacent, and then there were plenty of pubs, inns and cream teas.
Two pubs were in walking distance but we did not try them, only due to lack of time to do so. We liked it here and would not hesitate to stay again.

Everything spotlessly clean and well appointed with heated bathroom blocks. There is no playground but a large open field behind the two level fields with their hard standing pitches which of course are mainly taken by caravans. Wonderful views of the moor from their higher ground. Staff were very obliging and helpful throughout.
For dog lovers, this site has a well-thought-out perimeter dog walk around their largest field. Small shop on site offering basic provisions, plus postcards. They are now a Dartmoor Information Point and have very informative free leaflets on camping or walking on the Dartmoor. Also on local trails - Two Castles Trail and West Devon Trail.
Great pubs we loved:
1. The Castle Inn, Lydford (walkable)
2. The White Hart Bridestowe (walkable 3 miles)
3. The Peter Tavy Inn, Peter Tavy.
4. The Royal Oak, Meavy, Tavistock.
The site office has menus and info on local pubs too.

Having stayed for five nights we feel inclined to keep quiet about this site because it is an absolute 'Gem'.
A charming location with magnificent views, very quiet and tranquil, well run with extremely friendly and helpful managers and staff.
Toilet, shower and facility block is not new but more than adequate, spacious and very clean. The office shop was well stocked with essentials, and Free WiFi is available.
Lydford village is a five minute walk and boasts a castle, pretty church and the Castle Inn which is open all day and serves excellent food at reasonable prices with cheerfully efficient service.
There is plenty to do in the area, for cyclists and walkers in particular, and a bus service to Tavistock and Okehampton stops close to the site.
We have added this site to our 'most favourite list' and will definitely be going back again and again.

We have stayed at this site in a tent and a campervan and enjoyed both visits. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, also a good source of knowledge for local walks.
The facilities are of a good standard if perhaps a little dated. They were always spotless and never had to wait for a shower or sink.
The hard standing pitches are level and a good size but the best views are in the tent field. Lovely dog walk around the edge of the tent field, although this did make our dog bark when others walked their dogs round behind our tent!
The location is excellent with the moors, a forest and lydford gorge all within a short pleasant walk. Also very close to a cycle route and three pubs within walking distance. The only downside is there is no local shop and the supplies in the campsite shop are very basic.

Just stayed on this site for 3 nights. We were expecting it to be very busy being August, but even though the 2 van fields were full, the site was still quiet and peaceful for the whole stay.
We thought the facilities could do with a lick of paint, but were always clean and the showers were nice and hot.
We ate at the Castle Inn on 2 evenings, we sat outside under a big umbrella in the drizzle with our dog - too busy inside. Food - basic, good pub grub.
There is a bus stop just down the road, and we got a bus to Sourton and walked back on the Granit Way. Also we did the route around the Gorge. Plenty to do from site without moving the van.
Make sure you have everything you need with you, no shops in walking distance, except the site shop which is just a few bits in the reception area.
We will definitely be coming back for some more peace and quiet!

A well organised site that splits up capervans, caravans and tents.
The views from the tent site is fantastic and best! I'm sure you can negotiate a pitch if you have a caravan/ campervan. The facilities are the best ones that we have experienced so far. The reception/ shop does hold lots of info but not so much groceries, but you will get hold of the basic stuff. Bring your own kids entertainment eg cricket bat/ frisbee/ football etc, because even if the place is busy, there is still plenty of space for kids to run around. Highly recommend!

Just spent 4 wonderful nights here and will definitly return again next year. So peaceful and relaxing with a wonderful view from the top field. Very doggy friendly with a good walk for them around the perimeter of the site with poo bins on route. Grass kept well manicured as are the trees, shrubs, flowers etc.
Showers are superb. Hot and powerful. Always kept clean and tidy.
Lots of information on walks and things to do in the local and surrounding areas.
Plenty of rules and regulations and more than happy to adhere to them to help keep this site as good as it is. A credit to the wardens who run it who were always on hand to help with any questions we had and kept the site spotless.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at this great site. Weather was very mixed and at times it was a bit muddy but that would happen anywhere.
We arrived on Sunday having booked for a week, by Tuesday we asked we could book for another week as we were so taken with the site and the area. The facilities are very good, hot showers and individual wash cubicles and kept very clean.
The wardens work very hard. There are lots of notices reminding of the rules but this makes for an excellent stay, they are very keen on recycling which is good.
It is a very peaceful location but plenty to do in the immediate area. There are lots of great walks around the site locally (recommend Lydford Gorge).
The Castle Inn which is about 10/15 mins walk from the site does good food. The Fox & Hounds on the A386 about a mile and half away is also very good but you need sturdy legs or a car to access it. Tavistock is a lovely town worth a visit.
We also went to Plymouth and used the Park & Ride to access the town centre. We had a ride on the big wheel, which whilst not cheap (£7. 50 each) was worth it for the views over the town and the Hoe and the docks.
All in all a fantastic 2 weeks at an excellent site at a reasonable price too.

We chose this site purely on position due to the route we were taking on our way south, but what luck. It was a lovely site, well looked after, and the wardens were very friendly and helpful.
It was not overly busy being midweek and during the school term but the pitches were well arranged so as not to be overcrowded. Lydford is a quaint village with a lot of history.
We enjoyed a walk through the village visiting the castle and the church and of course called at the wonderful olde worlde pub for a pint or two of Tribute!
We were only on site for one night but there is more to see and do in the area and hope to visit again in the future.
