We want to further enhance the natural environment through planting native trees and shrubs which will provide a haven for local wildlife. Recycling: We offer onsite vegetable waste composting and a full recycling facility for other food waste, glass, paper, card, plastic and cans. Tree planting: We have a five year plan for the land at Greenslade. Your visit will help us fund this work. Every booking will be marked with the planting of a new tree sapling or shrub. In time your contribution will grow to provide a woodland and scrub area to enhance the existing wild flower and grass meadows. Update: After our first year of camping in 2020 we have planted over 300 trees in the field and started an apple orchard too. We have also built a circular grass bank around one of the fire pits and seeded the top area of the field with wild flowers. The field is now a regular hunting spot for barn owls and we plan to install an owl box in the far corner to provide shelter and a place to nest. Guest access Blackawton village is situated one mile off the A3122 road to Dartmouth. The one mile drive off the main road is along a mainly single carriage lane with passing places. The car is the most convenient way to explore the area. However, you can travel here by train and explore the local area using buses, boats, bikes or on foot. If you arrive on public transport and would like a collection please let us know and we will do our best to help. The nearest bus stop is about one mile from the village and the nearest train station is Totnes with a regular express train to London Paddington (under three hours). The local bus stop offers a daily bus service on the 92 bus route between Dartmouth and Totnes where connections can be made to the surrounding towns and coast. Parking is provided at the campsite and is free within the village. If travelling to Dartmouth it is advisable to use the Park and Ride service at the top of the town. There is ample parking at local beaches and neighbouring towns. Other things to note The campsite is situated in a wild grass meadow which is a rich habitat for flora and fauna. We ask that guests take care to look after the space and do not disturb the long grass areas as these provide a natural habitat for mice, voles, hedgehogs and other creatures. Our campsite is a quiet space with no amplified sounds or car access to your pitch.
