Have just returned, well yesterday, from a great holiday at River dart. Despite arriving to find that the Picnic meadow [which I booked] was not open until the school hols [except at the weekends], we were given by the site manager a great pitch at the top of the site slightly away from the last official pitch. He called it 77a. They were so helpful, the site is spotless, showers boiling, so much to do we hardly left the site other than to do a mini tour of Dartmoor.
There was a lovely mix of people from all over europe. We will return, the kids want to go with another family next time so they can have even more fun. Good luck to anyone else going over the summer, we loved it and hope you do too.
