Lovely site, great amenities that were also eco friendly, river is right there for a swim or kayak and the morning views were beautiful. We were the only campers so it was super quiet but Jonathan was close by if we had any issues. Would have loved to have stayed longer!

My pitch had a fabulous view of the River Tamar. The site was super quiet and all features for basic camping as described, i.e. shower and composting loo. Handy to be on the Tamara Coast to Coast Path as well.

3 nights at The Secret Garden
I travelled with two older grandsons. We were delighted with the space and facilities. I’m from that area but had no idea that this Secret Garden was there!
A pullout bed made sleeping for 3 adults possible. Nice little shower room and cooking equipment good. Outside seating area and hot tub were wonderful. We made fires each night and sat out late with hot chocolate to see the stars.
Fun swing (log on a rope) was enjoyed by all of us. The boys were surprised and delighted as was I
Sheryl communicated by message and was so helpful. The fresh eggs (option) were delicious.
Hope to return again.

We loved family camping at Sally and Paul’s and will most definitely return.
The site and views from Ladybird pitch were gorgeous.
The facilities are modern yet in keeping with the aesthetics of the site, clean and spacious.
We loved that the site was zoned wonderfully by the meadow grass to give you ample space on your own pitch whilst allowing for kids and families to socialise in view if they choose to do so. I loved that there is space for cars by each site, cleverly masked by landscaping so there are no cars in view from the pitches.
A wonderful place to relax, and soak in nature.

We had a wonderful stay in Jonathan's land. He is very welcoming and helpful.
From the camp, we had beautiful views of the river and felt truly immersed in nature, surrounded by the silence.
A compost toilet and a cute and spacious shower in a horse box were all the services we needed to make our stay comfortable.
We would love to go back one day!

We had a fabulous 4 night camping trip on this wonderful small site. Secluded private pitches are mowed into the meadow.
Fantastic hot showers and clean flushing toilets. Amazing views cooking supper overlooking the valley and neighbouring sheep. Sally and Paul were incredibly accommodating, and even facilitated a change of pitch to a more sheltered area when bad winds were forecast. The football pitch was a real hit and our son made lots of new friends. Free wifi a bonus. Nearby we enjoyed crabbing in Dartmouth and kayaking at the beautiful Blackpool sands beach. The beach cafe there is not to be missed!

We had a lovely stay at the Chalet. Hot tub was lovely and warm with music hook up. The chalet was really cosy and nice hot shower. The garden was lovely and my son enjoyed the rope swing, playing with the cat and building a fire. Hope to come again! Crantock beach with free parking for National Trust members is nearby.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Garden
Thanks Sheryl for a beautiful weekend, we had the most special 21st celebrations! The site is great really spacious and the utilities are ideal, meant we could cater for 11 of us. Has everything you’d want with the fire pit and hot tub! Sheryl was great as well, super welcoming and helpful, sorted out any issues we had immediately. Location is sweet too, we walked and bussed into town both were easy. And nice ducks!

We had such a lovely, peaceful stay at Jonathan’s.
Our pitch was perfectly tucked away with a wonderful view of the river.
Our three year old loved exploring and seeing the chickens and ducks roaming around the farm. Fresh eggs for breakfast were very much enjoyed!
Jonathan was a brilliant host, friendly and helpful and great communication.
Would highly recommend for a peaceful get away if you like a simple wild camping set up.
The location is magical, we hope to return one day soon!

A perfect little hideaway – ideal to stay whilst cycling, surfing & recharging!
I stayed here as part of a bikepacking trip and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The location is peaceful and secluded, surrounded by greenery with a lovely fire pit, hot outdoor shower, and plenty of space to relax. It’s just a 15-minute cycle to Newquay and Fistral Beach, which made it ideal for surfing and exploring the coast.
The host, Sheryl, was incredibly welcoming and helpful. She provided super clear directions with photos, was quick to respond to questions, and even left out firewood and matches. On top of that, there were friendly chickens roaming about, a couple of chilled cats, and paddleboards available too.
She also gave great local recommendations and was very flexible on request. The price is very reasonable for what you get – this place is a hidden gem.
I was also really grateful to be able to book on the same day — something quite rare / almost impossible with the campsites in the area.
Would absolutely stay again – thanks Sheryl!

If you fancy a traditional seaside holiday camping on the South Devon coast, Dawlish might just be the resort you’re looking for. But these days, you don’t have to get in a tangle with guy ropes as there’s plenty of luxury camping and glamping near Dawlish too. With a traditional seaside resort town as well as the dune-backed beach at Dawlish Warren, it’s no surprise that there are lots of camping and glamping sites to choose from. We’ve been hard at work finding the best of them to feature in this collection…
