At East Prawle in Devon. The Retreat is a great back to basics site. Friendly owner. Bit of a tough tow in but worth the effort. Sea view from lounge. No others here this time of year. Recommended, assuming you don't have an 8ft van that is :).

I must admit it is nice to get away in the Autum / Winter but I do prefer a hardstanding pitch, with a nice warm pub nearby.

Hutch, Donnewell Farm at Sedgefield. Fully serviced Hardstanding and a not too long walk to Sedgefield up a car free Lane. Great for the chariot.

I see that hardstanding is often a more reliable option for sure. This particular site seems very well-drained with pretty good solid grass cover. Looks nice at minute, lush and green. Cross country to the pitch is easy. Not much use is a factor. No mud bath generated outside. But I’m sure some sites not always so good,

Admittedly that would save you the joy of many miles of towing the accommodation through single track Devon lanes and some very interesting discourse with the numerous professional bus and small HGV drivers we met during the journey

Brave man towing out to Prawle. My parents kept a pub there when there was 2 ( not the Pig's). Stunning part of the coast !
