The owners of this campsite are unfriendly, outright rude, and the most unwelcoming people you will ever meet. Right from the offset of our arrival, just getting the code for the padlock to get on site, you get an unwelcome feeling. Like you are intruding on them. We witnessed them being very rude to another set of campers about their friend popping by to visit at 3pm in the afternoon.!! We then also had a run in with both the owners on our one night stay. ||If by some unknown means you even accidentally break one of their many rules, they are on you like wasps from a nest and instantly ban you from returning ever!! Their body language and manners are very threatening and intimidating . Never have we been treated in this way camping or any other place. I believe in treating people how you wish to be treated. Intimidating and bullying like behaviour should never have to be tolerated by anyone. The owners of this campsite need to have a good inward look at themselves and their approach to the people who have paid to camp. With the attitude they currently have, they should not be in a setting where the public is involved. ||As the owners appear to live on site in their caravan, they watch and scrutinise everything campers do. One of the owners just sits in his chair all day watching the campers !! No smiling, no chat just projecting his miserable attitude of YOU ARE NOT WELCOME!!. It's very off-putting !! Why even have a campsite if you don't like campers? ||As I have been to this campsite before and had a lovely time ( before the owners moved onto the site !!) It never occurred to me to check the reviews . I SOOOO wish I had. ||Worst camping experience of my life, and we camped approximately 10-12 times a year all over the country. ||Also, they cancelled our booking on pitch up so we couldn't put a review on their booking page. Which I have reported them for, as this doesn't allow for the true picture of what it is really like now to be on their site now.

What should be a brilliant campsite is marred by aggressive & intimidating hosts. We were a group of six out for my birthday, yes we may have been louder than others, but we're adults (in an adult only campsite) ask us to keep it down and we will oblige. What they did was storm over, swipe a load of items off the table while shouting at us to stop taking "that drugs" (I assume she meant the citronella). Then tell us we had to leave now (11.30pm) and they were calling the police. The husband joined her and shone torches directly in our faces while still yelling at us! It was all a bit interrogation technique. ||Clearly we left the next morning, at which point the violent shouty lady was conspicuously absent while the husband followed us to the gate (walking alongside one car) taking photos.||Lastly, at midnight they removed our booking from pitchup.com meaning we can't leave a review. They forgot about the rest of the internet. ||Violent, aggressive, intimidating. They live on site in a tent so you can't miss them.||Avoid this like the plague!!

Pros - The most quiet site we've been on. Nice site. You can pitch on grass or in a woodland section. The loos looked cute, with flowers and nicely decorated.
The shower is hot and nice (but has an issue)
Lots of recycling areas.
The stars!!! Amazing stars.

Cons - The compost loos. I am unsure what's going on with them. The smell was horrendous. It burnt my eyes lol. I've encountered loads of composting loos, and none have ever smelled like this. Something is wrong somewhere.
Also with the loo. You can see better at night when the solar light comes on. But they are dark in the daytime. Maybe change the roof to a clear one.
I didn't like the showers. As a woman i felt quite vulnerable as there is no door. Its a kind of U shape and you just turn the slate sign to vacant or occupied. All the ladies in our group took somebody else with them so they felt safe.
There is a no driving rule after 9. So i arranged prior, when we went out for a meal, to come back later. Its a bit annoying that rule. It means that you can't go to the pub or a long day out as you please. I've never seen that rule applied so early. I stayed at 1 site once, where it was 11pm.

We all really liked this site despite my seemingly long cons list, they are fairly small things that could be changed without huge hassle.
I will definitely be back though at some point. We will also recommend this site.

Aggressive and unstable hosts!||We booked three pitches for 6 adults in total. we were enjoying the fire pit and sitting chatting laughing and having a good time. at about 11pm the female host ran over to us screaming, shining torches in our faces, shouting "that drugs" pointing at the citronella incense, all this after she's swiped half of our table of things with her arm, knocking drinks and food everywhere.||A simple "can you quieten down" would have been enough, but it's possible their judgement may have been off based on how drunk they both seemed..||At 4 minutes passed midnight she cancelled our booking on pitch.up so we couldn't leave a review, pointless really as we've contacted pitch.up directly.||AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

The rude, agressive, and intimidating attitude of the female site warden overshadowed our stay at this idyllic location.||||After setting up camp with my friend, the last of our party arrived and started pitching her tent. The site warden came over and agressively stated that the tent was too big for the £10 fee, and that she was to pay the extra £8. No friendly welcome from her, in fact her body language and tone were intimidating, but nevertheless we were compliant and apologetic of our ignorance to these rules. When my friend immediately said she would pay and tried to eplain why, because of her health condition she had chosen this tent, the site warden cut her off mid sentence saying "I don't care just pay the extra". No compassion or interest in a two way conversation. My friend paid and we continued our evening whilst waiting for our friend to join us for a BBQ before heading out to the moor for an evening walk. ||||As our friend arrived and was driving towards us, the warden stood by her van around 50 yards away and held up her arms as if to say "what's going on?" In reply, I had to shout across the campsite to say "she's only staying for dinner". She didn't come over to talk to us, and we heard nothing more until we drove out for our walk about 20 minutes later. Nowhere in the campsite rules does it say that visitors are not allowed or that permission has to be sought. The only mention applying to visitors is that they have to leave by 8pm, so when we left for our walk our visitor was the chosen driver so that she wouldn't have to re-enter the campsite when she dropped us back. ||||She had had great trouble in relocking the combination padlock on arrival, but as we were leaving shortly we thought it okay to just lock it on our way out. On reflection it would've been more considerate to go to the effort of walking up to the gate to help with the problem. As we were leaving, the warden approached the car and as we wound down the windows she screamed at us that we didn't ask permission to have a visitor, shouldn't have given her the code to enter, and that she hadn't locked the gate. As my friend started to apologise and explain her problem with the lock, the warden screamed "I couldn't give a f*ck, I've just about had enough of you, you and your whole group are never coming here again!"||||We were all anxious about returning to the site after our walk and were scared of further agression. We left as soon as possible the next morning.

From my 30 years plus camping, never have I come across campsite warden so rude and aggressive. We had a guest visit us for an evening BBQ, by doing so we broke one of their unwritten rules that we did not know about-, to ask permissions for visitors and sharing the gate code with our trusted visitor. Unfortunately our visitor struggled to lock the gate and when she explained this to the female warden the reply was "I don't give a f***". The body language from was aggressive and extremely confrontational from the moment we arrived.We were astonished by their attitude They should not be working in a front facing service and seriously need some customer service training. We were then told we were banned as they had enough of us. Apart from this, great location and well maintained site. I would never recommend a stay here.

4/5

Rustic site with both electric and non electric pitches. Outdoor shower and two eco toilets. Small shop onsite for wood. Bonfires allowed. Adults only and dogs welcome. Great dog walking field.
Location spot on and literally a stone’s throw from Dartmoor National Park.
We camped here for 2 nights on an electric pitch. Peaceful site.
Will definitely come back again once we are completely off-grid for non-electric pitch which offer complete privacy but enjoyed our short trip and fellow campers were very pleasant, hook up was easily accessible, bonfires supplied.
Owners were really nice people and stayed on site. Everything was kept clean and tidy. Highly recommend.

We went to Five Wyches for a friends birthday. There was a group of six of us with 3 individual bookings which we all have confirmation emails of before the owner responds to this review saying they can’t find us.||I can believe we may have been a bit loud at around 2300 at night as we were by the campfire chatting with music - if at any point we were asked to turn this down by anyone, we would have obliged instantly. ||||Instead the drunk, unstable, aggressive owner (who with her husband basically drink all day and then drives around on the odd occasions she leaves the back of her van) came over, without saying anything swiped a bunch of stuff off the end of our table and started shouting and swearing at us. Me and my friend got up to try and diffuse the situation, and she shone her phone torch directly in my friends eyes within touching distance of her face while still shouting about drugs (we’re assuming she mistook the citronella incense as some sort of illicit substance, which is surprising as I wouldn’t be surprised if she was on something herself from her actions), noise and swearing while threatening to phone the police. Her husband (who attempts to be threatening and intimidating while not actually doing anything) also came over to shine torches in our faces and shout and swear. ||||Ironically, she pointed at the caravan across the pitch from where we were and said they had complained about the noise, which would have been odd since the residents of the caravan are our friends and were sat at the table with us having just had cans from the table swiped into their laps.||||She ended up storming off back to her hovel, at which point we turned the music off and were quieter (as we would have been if she had been in any way human about her request) and there were no further issues that night.||||We also saw they cancelled our booking at 1204 on pitchup so we can’t leave a review on there - we were leaving today anyway so we got our whole trip, but unfortunate that they limit the chance for honest reviews.||||In the morning, said intimidating husband sat and stared at us all morning, while his unstable wife hid in her van. As we left, he followed us on his quad bike that again, he was driving drunk, to try and intimidate the very same friends that she had said made the noise complaint the night before.||||Just to save myself some headache having seen her normal stock response of accusing people of a ‘variety of things’ without actually naming anything, before this, they had accepted our request to stay an extra night and singled me and my partner out during her screaming fit to say ‘you two are lovely’, she lied about the noise complaint, and I’m happy for you to list your ‘grievances in the public domain’ as you keep threatening to do to others to continue your intimidation tactic against people you’ve abused.||||Don’t come to this place, go literally anywhere else, because based on how many drinks this woman has had, she could ruin your whole trip because she can’t handle them.
