We have visited many campsites on our adventures some are good, some are ok but there
is one which stands out and in our opinion that okay yes we will say it may be one of the
best campsites we have ever visited.
Hole station campsiste is a hidden gem surrounded by lush Devonshire forests.
it is a former railway station the ticket office now houses the owners Greg and Liz.
We immediately fell in love with everything about the campsite,
from camping in the middle of a forest surrounded by trees to the adults only rule in which
you will not be woken up by excited children early in the morning that isn't something that
bothers us usually but is very welcomed
Once you have arrived down an old dirt road you are greeted by the very friendly Greg and
his lovely dogs who will show you around the facilities. They are very eco friendly and
everything is recycled from food waste to plastic of course we were very excited as we are
very eco friendly ourselves and its lovely to see campsites doing the same.
He showed us the composting toilets and their diner where they grow there own food at the
allotment, From the start this sounded like our dream campsite.
Greg then gave us a map and lead us into the forest to choose our pitch.
The pitches are scattered throughout the forest each with there own unique look, even the
walk is beautiful alone and each pitch is far away from each other with its own path winding
through the trees, and as a bonus has an outdoor kitchen shelter already set up.
You can choose to bring your own tent or use a tent the have set up themselves we used
our own tent but it is nice to have the option.
Everything is very relaxed at the site from the sounds of birds chirping in the morning to the
orange glows of the campfires lighting the forest at night you truly feel like you are wild
camping.
The toilets are a short walk from the pitches and the walk takes you through the forest.
With hole station being a small holding they have chickens free roaming the land and dogs
who sometimes will come to see you in the forest.
Its the little touches that count for us when we arrive at a campsite and this campsite just
keeps adding to them a lovely wash up area, good size showers with plenty of placed to
pop your stuff down without it getting wet and a nice little extra a charge point where you
can charge your electronics for free but its so not needed with the beautiful back to basics
style of camping. Hole station campsite deserves to be recognised Greg and Liz have
worked incredibly hard to create such a beautiful place to camp a place where you can
give back to nature and enjoy what it has to offer.
