The thwack of leather on willow echoes across this aptly named Devon site, where genuine cricket pitch boundaries frame your camping spot and distant moorland rises beyond the hedgerows. It's an unexpectedly charming collision of rural sporting tradition and simple camping, with that particular quality of light that comes from wide-open Devon skies.

This is proper unfussy camping for families and couples who value space and quirky character over resort-style amenities. You're in classic South West countryside here, with the wild expanses of Dartmoor or Exmoor likely within striking distance, depending on where in Devon you land. The tent, campervan and caravan pitches share the ground with occasional cricket matches, adding a distinctly British soundtrack to summer evenings.

Facilities keep things straightforward with toilets and showers covering the essentials. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask when you pitch up if you're planning to toast marshmallows. The overall vibe is relaxed and community-minded—the kind of place where children can safely roam and you might find yourself discussing boundary decisions with locals over the hedge.
