The Lakehouse

The early morning mist lifts off still water as moorhens paddle between the reeds, their calls echoing across the lake that gives this Devon site its name. Sunlight filters through lakeside willows, catching the ripples and casting dancing shadows across neighbouring pitches.

This peaceful spot in Devon's South West welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to generous pitches overlooking the water. It's ideal for families seeking a quieter escape and anglers who appreciate waking steps from the shore, with the Devon countryside offering lanes perfect for cycling and walking. The region's market towns and dramatic coastline lie within easy reach for day trips.

Facilities are straightforward with toilets and showers keeping things simple and functional. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so confirm when you book if you're planning evening fires by the water. The atmosphere here is all about that lakeside setting – watching dragonflies dart across the surface, listening to birdsong at dusk, and enjoying the kind of uncomplicated camping where the natural setting does all the talking.
