North Devon Camping

Blackcock Inn nr Molland - Recommended

I cannot remember how I stumbled upon this place other than I was looking for a campsite with a pub.

Along with a host of other events the trip was a victim of Covid 19 restrictions and was rescheduled a number of times.

Entering the postcode in my SatNav took me to a farm, the pub wasn’t too much further on the same road. On arrival I presented myself at the pub who told me where the camping pitches were, there was some with electric but we didn’t bother.

We were the only tents, most others seemed to be semi permanent with very little activity. Toilets and showers were old but working and clean.

The pub served basic evening meals, very nice but not massive, good value for money, well kept beer.

Three of us stayed for two nights and paid £20 each for the camping, £20 and £24 each for dinner and drinks, all very reasonably priced. I think we had three pints each the first night and four the second.

The only downside was next doors cockerel kicked off about 0400.

I contacted them through Facebook messenger and their communications are hap hazard, but very welcoming and would definitely use the site again.

The tarp came from Wapping, great bit of kit, thanks.

I tried rotating clock and anti clock, before uploading, sadly neither works.
 
Why I do not know - But when I post a pic from my iPad I first go into edit and rotate it 360° (so cal where it started) and then they load right way up

Previously I thought I had cracked the photo rotation issue, the forum software seemed to only rotate photos very recently uploaded, so I left these overnight. The photos were taken on my iPhone 12, transferred to my other Apple a/c by airdrop then uploaded on to here using the manage attachments on the forum software. Maybe I will try it on the Tapatalk
 
The ‘Wapping tarp’ in all its glory…..

You were taking a big risk chance, parking your awesome so far away from your tent. Someone might steal it or tip sand into the oil filler *




* Does anyone know of this ever happening?

It's OK, he has one of those Wunderlich ones that needs a 7mm Allen key to prevent that from happening.
