Non-Electric Grass Tent Pitch

Non-Electric Grass Touring Pitch 

Pick your own pitch and get a load of the local landscape at Drakes View, a basic pop-up site in Devon with spectacular views over Plymouth Sound.

Located just 20 minute drive to the east of the city centre near the small village of Bovisand (and five minutes drive from Bovisand beach), Drakes View is all about keeping it simple. No flashy facilities or complicated set-up here: just a small number of grass pitches without toilets, showers or waste-disposal facilities (essentials like water are taken care of, though).

After gazing out over the cliffs and coves that make this part of Devon's coastline so scenic, you can head out for strolls along the South West Coast Path a quarter of a mile from the site, or stroll through the green countryside of the nearby South Hams, where all sorts of footpaths lie in wait.

It's not all about the scenery, though. This site is also a practical option, within a mile and a half of pubs, cafés and the various facilities around Plymouth Yacht Haven. Getting around by public transport is possible at Drakes View too, as this well-connected site is just under a mile from a local bus stop.
