Island Lodge

The gentle lapping of water against the shoreline drifts across this peaceful Devon site, where morning mist often hangs low over the surrounding landscape before burning away to reveal the rich greens of the South West countryside. Island Lodge offers that increasingly rare combination of simplicity and year-round accessibility.

This is a site for those who appreciate uncomplicated camping without the trappings of leisure complexes. Families seeking a quiet base for exploring Devon's attractions will find it suits, as will couples after a no-frills rural retreat. The South West's famous coastline and moorland landscapes lie within reach for day trips.

With space for tents, campervans and caravans, facilities are kept straightforward — clean toilets and showers provide the essentials. The year-round opening means you can pitch up during quieter seasons when Devon reveals a different character. Check the campfire policy when you arrive if gathering round flames is part of your camping ritual. The overall feel is refreshingly understated and down-to-earth.
