We came to Wheeldon for camping and to give the kids a go at motor biking. We liked the relaxed family run atmosphere here and the facilities were excellent. If you have a camper with awning, children and or dogs this is the perfect place. Central to all the stunning places around the vicinity. They really looked after us and nothing was a problem. The owners were the nicest people. We are seasoned campers and have been to a variety of places in Europe and the UK from 5 star rated to field camping and this is easily one of the best. If you are after something that gets you back to nature and brings you back to earth a bit but without it being too much, then this is the place for you. The River Avon runs past at the bottom of the valley and is a great little adventure for all ages and dogs. Please don’t moan about the tight lanes, this is Devon that’s why people come here lol. Drive sensibly and be courteous and you’ll be fine. Thanks for such a lovely week. Cass, Fred, Tom, Oscar and Nessa 🐶 (Miss Cranky 🤪) We Miss Yogi too x

We visited today with our 5yr old and 9yr old and had such an amazing time. It is so well organised. The staff running the session were fun, friendly and professional. Our children absolutely loved the time on the track and came away feeling very proud of themselves and super happy. Really great day thank you so much! We will definitely be back!

Now using electric motorcross bikes this is a great place to experience off road riding. I've been a keen biker for most my life (some 25years) and never been off road sonot was a first for me. Out of our family of 5 three of us took part. Me, my 12 and my 5 year old daughters who have never ridden a motorbike before. All of us loved it. There are a range of bike sizes and 5yr old was on a motor assisted balance type bike. She was very daunted by it but had some practice and when then bikes weren't on track she was allowed to play a little on the track. She eventually had enough due to being a bit scared but the guy running it (who's name I embarrassingly forget) gave her some time to get her back on again and used the bikes. He was also brilliant with my 12yr old who stacked it almost immediately after getting on track. He was reassuring and got her back on the bike immediately. Through out the 2 hour session (which is more than enough) he gave her tips and showed her the ropes. Come the end she was so confident. Not doing jumps of getting out the seat but was quicker and enjoying the whole experience. I was pretty much left on my own which I was happy with. It was great experience for me using the berms, getting some jumps in and braking traction with the bike a little to get the feel for dirt track riding. There is a viewing platform for spectators and while there is a small campsite playpark there's nothing to do outside of watching everyone have fun. All kit is provided too. Helmet, gloves, tops, bottoms and boots, the lot. I'd definitely go again and the others said they'd like to go next time. It's not a cheap morning/afternoon out at £40 each but dare I say it's worth it. It was so much fun and the 2 hrs may not seem a lot but it is exhausting and plenty of time.

The guys were brilliant. Andrew and Jim, one of them likes fruit and nut and the other likes something else 😁. My boy had a brilliant time, it was the first time he had ever ridden a motorbike. He was on the main track in no time. All equipment is supplied. Loads of feedback for the kids. Really good experience. Panda and Billy were awesome too.
