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, including; beaches, boat trips, eating out, water sports, local pubs 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 or glamping holiday with us at Treacle Valley campsite, you and your family 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.

The toilet and shower facilities are clean and modern. They also provide a small laundry room, charging points, washing up area and a very small shop with a couple of supplies. We walked to babbacombe while we were here. Once you have walked up a steep hill you then have a downward walk into the town and seafront which is handy. There is also a couple of pubs about 20 mins walk. We totally enjoyed our stay here and will revisit in the future. Note.. Bring levelling ramps as the site is sloped in places.

Positives: Great location, close access to the harbour and nearby towns, easy commute, good utilities (i.e showers and toilets), wonderful views in heart of countryside, respectful staff, very nice cows and family-friendly feel, toilets are spotless as the cleaner never leaves the facilities, even if the showers are occupied.

Concerns: GEMMA.
Brilliant place stayed many times, will definitely be going back this Easter and summer with proper genuine people
Rooms: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5
– Very flexible check in and out times. - Beautiful, countryside views. - Clean and well maintained toilet block and washing up area (a tricky job with the amount of dry grass being traipsed in there all day long). - Small, onsite shop for drinks and snacks. - Small play area for children. - Choice of pitch (all non electric FYI). - 15 minutes from Babbacombe/Oddicombe beaches.

– Not much flat ground to work with. Luckily, we have a camper van, so we were able to use levelling blocks to get closer to flat, but you’d need to be ok with the high probability of a sloped pitch if you were camping in a tent.
- Occasional whiffs of cow from the barn next to the camping field. Depends on which way the wind is blowing (which is obviously not under the staff’s control).
Great site it has slopes but still has flat areas, the toilet and shower block were really clean and there’s enough space so there were never instances having to wait, the staff are really nice and helpful, I would definitely come here again
Great view, Great value

The worst camping dite we have ever came across. Toilets absolute nightmare, disgusting, unclean, stinks before you even enter the facilities. Means having a shower is nearly impossible, they were unclean too. The crowd here very specific- loud music, shouting etc till early morning hours. Read other comments, looks like this is very normal for this campsite. We would not return.

Worth noting, a lot of the site is on a steep hill, which made life a little difficult. There is a small section that is level but that was already full by the time we arrived midday on a Friday (not even school holidays). Everything kept falling over, cooking was a nightmare as the pots and pans kept sliding off the stove. And sleeping was difficult as you’d wake up sliding down the hill. Also, the site is down some very steep and narrow hills. Getting there in a large vehicle would be difficult, the bends coming out of the site towards Torquay were difficult to navigate even in a VW polo.
However, it site was lovely, the connections to Torbay were great, and it was very peaceful. I would absolutely recommend this site and look forward to returning.

Not so good points ..now I’m ok with people having a laugh at night it’s a campsite but at 6am every morning I was here there was a man staying in a trailer tent with two dogs …2 very noisy big staffys one was actually being called by the owner a man eater ……

every morning at 6 am I woke to him shouting at the dogs to be fuxking quite …he left them in the tent in some extreme hot weather ……this went on for 4 days ..he them decided to put them both i a cage …this seems to be what he was doing most of the time …but then put them.outsode in the sun for hours locked in the cage together…at this point a few people was having words with each other woundering what to do IT WAS 28 DEGREES..I called the police but sadly they didn’t want to know …staff was very aware of the issue …and to be fair I think they just wanted him to leave with no hassle..but I spent my whole time there with my friends worried for the dogs and listening to him lose his rag constantly with them infront of a prety full campsite ….
Rant over but for what I payed this stressful situation shouldn’t have happend …camp site was nice staff was nice BUT ….!

We had an excellent meal on the Friday evening at the ‘Linny Inn’ which is only a mile away on a walk down a quiet country road.
When we arrived we thought this was going to be a quiet country campsite – how wrong we were! By Saturday evening it was packed with tents, adults, children and dogs. There was a large party of approx 6 tents and about 30 adults and children gathering to celebrate a birthday. These children were screaming in the playground until 2130. A minibus of teenagers on an outdoor pursuit trip turned up and we found our tent surrounded by their tents. Needless to say it was not a peaceful night 😕. We will not be returning
Nice scenery 👌

The toilets were incredibly clean! I was actually blown away by how nice the showers and toilets were. The phone chargers were also super handy and safe, and the free WiFi was an unexpected benefit.
The campsite provided fire pits and had firewood you could purchase for £5 a bag – both with cash and through bank transfer.
I put 4/5 stars for location as, whilst the camp was incredible, the surrounding roads are incredibly narrow and those in larger cars and vans may struggle.
I would 100% recommend Treacle Valley to anyone visiting Torquay!

Also we were very pleased with the cleanliness of the toilets and showers. This place is a real find. We hope to come back more in the future 🙂
Some wonderful pitches available that are flat but, as Devon is very hilly, not all pitches level.
Loved the relaxed approach to finding your own pitch. The camp site has wonderful views over the countryside.

quiet, peaceful sleep. If you are wanting to walk on foot to anywhere from the campsite, be prepared to walk up a very steep, long hill!

Auflademöglickeiten. Sehr gut! Sehr netter Empfang, einfacher Campingplatz, die Sanitäranlagen könnten sauberer und moderner sein. Es gibt keine Regeln. Leider ist es dadurch laut, vor allem Abends. Es gab eine unangenehme Erwachsenengruppe die bis spät in die Nacht laut Musik hörte und Party machte. Absolut rücksichtslos und unmöglich
