Treacle Valley Campsite

Treacle Valley, (formally Manor Farm), is an easy-going, traditional, family run campsite in the tiny village of Daccombe close to Torquay.

Our family have had the pleasure of carrying on the 40-year tradition of a campsite here in the valley since 2006 when the working farm and surrounding woodland came up for sale.

The hidden and picturesque valley village of Daccombe (a secret to even some Torquinians) won our family’s hearts over generations. Grandchildren were told legends of the valley, and we had all either worked here on the land, wandered through its woods and lanes, or stayed here as 4th generation Scouts or simply as visitors to the Torquay area.

Now it is our turn to champion its many wonders. A beautiful steep-sided valley with 500-year-old oak trees and uninterrupted views of Dartmoor’s National Park. The perfect location to explore literally dozens of beaches over the other side of the hill and the great number of things to do & places to go, beaches, boat trips, nightlife, and entertainment that Torbay has always been proud to offer.

Treacle Valley Campsite is ideally located to Torquay, Paignton & Brixham with plenty to do for all ages.

Treacle Valley is nested in a beautiful unspoiled west-facing valley, just on the outskirts of Torquay, in Torbay.

If you choose to spend your camping holiday with us at Treacle Valley campsite, you will be able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of natural woodlands, and panoramic views which to the west, stretch for miles over unspoiled Devonshire countryside right up to Dartmoor National Park.

Liked: lovely quiet, laid back site, in a rural, farmed valley spacious gently sloping field with pitch where you feel happy ethos. Clean large facility block with plenty of hot showers and hot water at the taps. Ideal for families (room to run and play area) hikers, cyclists etc. The perfect location for exploring South Devon, close to beaches and stunning coastline, English Riviera towns, steam railway and boat trips. Helpful Owners family farm so local knowledge, swimmer, walker, own guide to beaches. Good phone, data connectivity for those unable to suspend their disbelief that independent self reliance is possible. Just a nice place to unwind. Disliked: It rained and my tent leaked, hardly their fault, but did help resolve problem, thanks again.

Great location.. Quiet and dog and child friendly. Not far from local amenities and far enough to avoid the noise. Good charging area for mobile phones etc with padlocked cupboards and multi Adaptors. Friendly staff and willing to help but without being intrusive. I have to disagree with some of the comments about the toilet and shower facilities being good or excellent. Personally I have experienced much better, more modern facilities elsewhere at the same cost and shower cubicles need to be larger and hanging/seating areas in the shower cubicles being included somehow. Overall a decent site and accessible to the local area.

Liked: Lovely location and views. Clean facilities Easy to walk to places-even if a little steep at times 😀. Friendly, helpful staff at reception. Disliked: The only problem I had was charging my phone, finally got a day with an empty locker, but no key to the padlock so put my own on, only to go back ah hour later for it to have been removed and phone placed on top of cabinet, luckily no one had taken it.

Liked: We loved the laid back nature of this campsite. Just turn up and find a space! The kids loved exploring and playing on the play area and they made loads of holiday friends. Everyone was super friendly and just there for a good time. The location is really convenient for both Torquay and Paignton, and there’s plenty of stuff to do locally – we couldn’t get it all done in a few days. We’ll have to come back next year to tick more things off the list!!!! Loved the free fire pits and was lovely to have a camp fire and BBQ every night. 100% recommend.

Liked: What a lovely site, very well kept with clean toilets and shower block. Fire pits and BBQ’s also provided, they even have a padlocked area to charge your mobile phone. The best feature was a quiet corner where all campers were very respectful and quiet, what a good idea. The man that was running it was extremely helpful giving us loads of really useful fishing spots to visit when we asked, unfortunately I didnt get his name. We will definately be returning, we had a brilliant time.

Liked: There was a really friendly atmosphere at Treacle Valley. Could always hear people having fun which we loved. Plenty of space to choose own pitch. Plenty of toilets and showers. Never had to wait for either. Great washing facilities. BBQs/fire pits to borrow with logs to buy with the honesty box for money at all times which was nice. Shop with essentials was handy. Disliked: It is quite hilly, which can make some things difficult, like carrying water back to our pitch, and things sliding around on surfaces in the tent. We tried to pick a flatter area but still struggled with things sliding around. There was also loads of wasps (obviously we understand this is nature and nothing can be done about this)

Liked: Stunning views, toilet / shower block was nice, good facilities, friendly staff and liked that there were no restrictions on having bbqs, and fire pits are available too. Disliked: No water taps in next field. I’m a seasoned camper so sleeping on slopes is something I’m used to but although there are some fairly level areas it’s mostly hill just for others to bear in mind 😎 also for those with weak bladders diabetes etc make sure you pitch on the same field as the toilet block as it’s a bit of a walk, unless they put a toilet block on the second field 🙂

Liked: It was easy to get to from the main road and very close to everything we planned to visit as well as shops. Very family friendly, my kids have made friends within minutes from being there. Disliked: There was some late parties and a group of younger which been up very late. Not enough charging ports or I shall say some very selfish people kept hold of Keyes for entire stay!

Liked: Absolutely amazing facilities. The shower/toilet block was lovely and clean. They’ve made a lot of effort to make them comfortable to use. We were used to the riffy old showers full of spiders camping experience so this was a breath of fresh air!! Loved the fact you can borrow fire pits and buy wood on site too!

Liked: We had lots of space and the kids could play safely, the grass was short and the toilet/shower facilities were an added bonus. It was easy to locate And a couple of neighbours from the village we spoke to were super polite to us and our children. The pitch we had was on the top of the hill so we was on a slight slant but didn’t effect our stay for what you pay to stay here is extremely generous Disliked: There are no complaint from me to the campsite but a suggestion of maybe putting a bright sign in the main field by the entrance to warn drivers of the park so many times I have seen children running and a stupid driver ,driving like their on a normal road !!!! .
