We decided to go to this site after reading the great reviews previously posted and we weren't disappointed.
Site was very easy to reach off the A38 and we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. We were even escorted to our pitch and shown the amenities. The pitch was plenty large enough and level and the shower block was always clean.
The bar was very well priced and it was very welcome to find they had an inside room where we could go and sit with our dog which was a lovely change from huddling outside! Although we didn't eat in the bar / restaurant the food looked lovely and everyone around said how nice it was. The Friday night quiz was enjoyed by all.
It was a very pleasent walk into Ashburton where there were friendly pubs and local shops and although we didn't explore much only going for a short break there looked to be lots to do in the surrounding area.

We stayed for a week at the end of June. After a good run down from the North West we reached the site before lunch. The staff we met were very helpful and once the paperwork was sorted the ever so helpful warden took me up to the new superior pitches and after watching me back in to spot, informed us of all the facilities.
The superior pitches came with water, waste and tv,and had a great view of the dartmoor hils in the distance. They are hard standing and as this is the first year with them they are still doing minor work to them, but of no distraction or distrubance to us.
The shower block was clean and plenty of hot water. Our one and a half year old loved the Family bathroom. If one complaint and a minor one not enough hooks in the shower cubicles or shelf space to keep clothes dry!
The shop had all you needed if you ran out but the major supermarkets are only 15 mins away at most, or the small village of Ashburton has 2 small store and is only a 15 minute walk away! There is also a small caravan dealers in Ashburton if you find yourself wanting anything!
The bar looked great although I only visited it once as it only opened at 6.30, just as we were getting our little one ready for bed!
She loved the playgrounds and farm animals and even got to feed a baby lamb.
We even had good weather! well except a really windy nite! I think being on the top level of the site we felt the wind even more.
If you want a central location for South Devon I'd certainly recomend the site.
The Pub on the way to Newton Abbott did serve great food all day and had a little childrens play area.

We would just like to say a very big thank you to Parkers Farm for helping us on our first trip out with our caravan. We had only just collected it when we arrived at Parkers Farm and, although arriving late, we were met by a very friendly lady and gentleman. The gentleman even helped us reverse and unhook the caravan in appalling weather conditions.
The shower block was spotlessly clean and the pitches were well maintained. All in all a very pleasant, but short stay.

Our first camping trip as a family, and very pleased we found this site! Pitches were roomy, and being tiered you didn't feel boxed in. The toilet/shower blocks were clean and we never had a wait (though we did use the family room). One thing I would say is that the family room was a little small and would benefit from a bench or similar to keep wriggling toddlers off the wet floor when trying to dry them.Oh, and more clothes pegs to keep clothes off the floors.
We didn't use the onsite shop, but from what I gathered they can order in papers for you and seemed to have most things you could want/need.
The play area was a huge hit with our two and a half year old.She actually wandered off when we were packing up and was found by the gate saying she wanted to go to the playground! I would like to have seen a few more toddler toys like a little slide or swings but she was more than happy with the trampoline.
We went to the bar twice, but sat in the toddler room with our little one. This was a great idea and had lots to keep her entertained - a less protective parent could happily leave their little ones in there while they had a meal or drink at the bar. I would like to have seen the 'toddler room' kept for toddlers, though, as there were quite a few boisterous older children messing about in there and there was apparently a games room for older children. The restaurant did a lovely sounding range of meals at a really good price, all available as takeaways. Next time we'll be sure to try them out and give me a night off the camp stove! Husband loved being able to go to the 'pub' - we put little one in her PJs and went down with her toothbrush to stop off on way back, and others did the same.
The animals were a great hit with us, especially the lambs though we didn't make the farm walk unfortunately. You could hear the road, but it only bothered us the first night and wouldn't put us off going again

Great site, toilet facilities very clean. Wardens Shirley and Cliff were the best wardens ever, very helpful and would help even on their days off. All staff are very friendly. Plenty of things for the kids to do. Bar and restaurant, beer cheap, food great. Shop on site with bread, milk and most of the essentials. Weather was not great but lots of places to go.

We use this campsite as a stepping off point for Brittany, catching the early ferry.
As such we don't tend to use the facilities beyond the showers and toilets which are of a high standard.
Seems to be things for kids going on and the staff are OK.
Prices to someone used to camping in France are a bit steep but that's a reflection of the shorter season I dare say.
The restauraunt we have used once and found the food dear and menu bland.
But, as a transit site it is worth using if only for the cheaper crossings it allows you to use.
