Fabulous value, fabulous walks, lovely pub.
The Retreat
Flat grass site. Big pitches with EHU. All for a great price.
Along with the pub, cafe and small shop with a couple of minutes walk, there are also clean tidy public toilets, so while none on the site, it is really easy not to have to use your van's or caravan's.
The coatal walks are simply fantastic.
Be aware that the single track roads to get here are tight and the passing spaces small. However, some big vehicles get here, so it is possible.
Exactly as described
The Retreat
This site is a haven very well kept, peaceful and convenient for the village cafe who make wonderful sandwiches, the village shop and busy pub. The coastal walking is spectacular and on the doorstep. It is possible to walk to the ferry for Salcombe but it’s quite uphill on the way back.Richard the owner is one of the nicest, knowledgeable and helpful gentlemen you could wish to meet. Just a note to fellow campers it would be more relaxing for everyone if your dog was on a lead and the site is not used as a park for it to roam and exercise etc.etc. Otherwise nothing but praise for this site and the hard work Richard does to keep it clean and tidy. Very happy to return.
Large, peaceful, well-kept site
The Retreat
A big, flat, grassy field with plenty of room for five pitches. As others have stated, the drive to East Prawle can be hairy after leaving the main road (5 miles) but the destination is worth it. With the characterful and popular village pub (The Pig’s Nose), shop and café all 2 minutes walk away, everything you need is here. Warm friendly welcome by Richard the owner. With good EHU included the price is a bargain. Plus there’s a spectacular circular coastal walk that we did around Prawle Point. A visit to the Coastguard lookout is recommended.

Above and beyond!
The Retreat
We have just spent 6 nights on this lovely level CL. On arrival our fridge\freezer had decided to stop working.....a couple of fellow-campers were very kind, lending us a cool bag and blocks, and putting our wine in their fridge!!! However, Richard the site owner, went above and beyond; he parked his own motorhome next to ours so that we could use his fridge......what a star. He was helpful in many other ways, so friendly.
As everyone has said you must follow the Lorry Route signs into the village as the other lanes are even narrower!
The Pigs Nose must be booked in advance at the moment, and the food (and beer) are very good.
We will definitely come here again.
