 Farway campsite has recently been refurbished and the owners are clearly investing a lot in it. It's really good value (only charging per pitch and not per person as many campsites seem to do now) and very family friendly.
The showers and toilets are the best I've come across at a campsite. They're plentiful and cleaned regularly. The showers are hot with excellent pressure. T
Here's a cafe on site at weekends and sometimes live music (though this doesn't disturb the campsite if you're not interested in this).
There are lovely short walks on site with stunning views and a few animals at the farm park. There's great wildlife around too. The people running the site are friendly and accomodating.
BBQ's and campfires are allowed as long as they're raised off the grass. You can hire a firepit but the prices seemed a bit steep to us for a multi night stay as there's a daily charge.
You're not supposed to park next to your pitch but we use our vehicle (a camper) as a kitchen and the owners didn't have a problem with us parking next to our tent.
There were only two negatives:
1. The campsite rules are that dog's should be kept on leads at all times so as not to disturb either the local wildlife or neighbouring campers. There are plenty of notices everywhere telling you this.
However, there were plenty of dog owners who ignored this (and plenty of dogs too), which meant some were running all over peoples pitches, barking with no recall, often very early in the morning. Plus frequent scuffles between neighbouring dogs with lots of barking.
I appreciate this is down to the dog owners, but when we approached the site owner about it, his attitude was that he wanted to keep everyone happy and wasn't prepared to speak to anyone about it - only to put up more signage. It was a shame as it marred an otherwise fantastic campsite.
2. It rained heavily while we were camping. Now we cannot blame the weather on the site but the pitches did get very waterlogged very quickly with pools of standing water on the grass. It even began to pool under our tent, especially where there were tractor tire imprints in the ground.
Perhaps the ground could be rolled and smoothed to help with this? To be fair we were staying early in the season however and so perhaps once into summer when the ground has dried out more this wouldn't be an issue and we certainly wouldn't let this deter us from returning.
There are also hardcore roads around the pitches providing good well-drained access whatever the weather.

We're delighted to confirm this site has reopened after many years of closure, and once again offers camping, motorhome and caravanning pitches. If you know that this situation has changed in the future, please could you let us know. Many thanks

We have visited this campsite at Eastertime for the last 5 years. We go here because the children have such a wonderful time at what is a very laid back & uncommercialised site. The facilities are very very basic.
What we love about this site are all the attractions for the children.
The site is set in lovely countryside on the edge of a ridge with the most stunning of views. There are deers roaming the countryside with a tractor ride out to see them.
There is plenty to do in the area. My son`s Birthday usually falls at Easter & we take him to Creay adventure park. We always have a day out on the tram from Colyton to Seaton & have a meal at the "Hook & Parrot" overlooking the sea. The kids enjoy a day at Charmouth & hire hammers to go fossil collecting. There is a lovely beach at Lyme Regis & Branscome & Beer are also within easy reach & well worth a visit.
We love it here for the relaxed no frills holiday we have & will probably be there again next year.
