Uplands Adults Only CC CL
Chittlehamholt,
Umberleigh,
Devon,
EX37 9NS
Open 1st April 23 to 31st Oct 23
Arrival not before 2pm due to very narrow roads
£19 pn incl EHU, (even though the CC website states metered usage, which clearly is wrong, as the hook ups have no meters installed in the bollards) Awning, Showers and toilet, Enhanced pitches, Free Wi-Fi and nice views
We stayed here for 7 nights The owner sends out an email prior to visit to show various routes into the site, but we still missed the turn and ended up doing about 20 mile detour to get to the next advised route in with the caravan. Roads are very narrow and would certainly put us off from visiting again, and we have done many years down narrow roads.
The pitches are set on very well compressed materials, making it a very good challenge to getting the rock pegs into the ground, I have now 15 extremely bent pegs that will need replacing. The owner said on our arrival we can pitch how we like within our allocated space, But chose the standard way as the views were great and the sun was maximised, the best pitches were 1 & 2 as there are no trees behind to spoil the afternoon sun. Toilet and shower facilities were immaculate and cleaned every day by the owners. Waste grey water is to be collected by the van but is to be emptied at the edge of the grass in front of the pitches.
Within the old stable the owners have created a very nice exceptionally clean washroom with free showers. If you have extra supplies for the fridge, there is a freezer and fridge to use, along with free use of books and DVD’s. The use of green chemical fluid is essential here, so if you run out or have none there are supplies in the foyer to purchase at cost. Recycling bins are located at the side of the Stable. The chemical empty point is in the middle of the lawn behind the site.
Just 5 mins walk to the left of the entrance as you go out and you have a community shop selling the basics, also to the right out of the site is the local pub serves food and ales we did not try it as the need to book a table was advised due to its popularity, and looking at the menu, it did not suit our taste. There are plenty of public footpaths nearby so walking dogs or wondering off is perfect.
The locals were very friendly. On site dog field to exercise dogs, the owner has created a wildlife haven with the walkway cut into the field.
On our last day when we returned back to our van, the new neighbours must have wanted our pitch due to how they parked, certainly violates the distance ruling, needless to say I never turned the TV or radio down.
