I am afraid I gave the wrong url.  The correct Manor Farm is indeed in Strete and can be found by searching "Naturist Campsites in Devon"

yes, that's the correct url but the site doesn't work. I did try to email them through one of the camping sites but no response

I have just Google Manor Farm naturist campsite. The first link on the list was uk campsites they have a phone number for manor Farm, but no website listed, why don't you give them a ring and leave a message if Kate doesn't answer.

Just try - manorfarmstrete@hotmail.com. and they do appear to still have a website but perhaps a bit dated now.

The Suntrecker rally is on at Manor Farm now , so yes it is open !

It is very hard to describe the inner enjoyment of being naked .

It's all sounding a bit bleak.  It would be a great pity if Kate and the camp site ceased operating.  Everything was looking good, with the naturist area being expanded, gravel driveway to the naturist area etc. We need a local person to go and have a look.  :-

We camped at Manor Farm for a few nights this summer. Charge was about £14-15 a night for two camping. Details of the charges for 2017 are here They will probably be only a slightly bit more for 2018.
We found we only had to give Kate a few days notice, but you may need to give more if camping in the School Summer Holiday period.

The Coast Path walk down to Slapton beach is well worth doing; lovely views across the bay.

We've not been for a couple of years - but having visited on and off for over 40 years - one of the things we like, apart from the informality, location and views, is the fact that I don't recall ever having to book. We just turn up when we want - on a whim, when the weather is fine. How many naturist sites in the UK can you do that??

On occasion, the naturist field has been quite busy, but we've always managed to 'squeeze in'. As already mentioned, the electrical hook-ups are limited, however, so may not be available in season.

There is an interesting page on the website about the more than 60-year history of the campsite I hadn't seen previously:

Can't really call this an update as it's now over 2 years but we stayed there in September 2018. Originally planning on a few days we ended up staying nearly a fortnight and only left because of hurricane Bronagh. 

You really need your own transport. There was a bus from Taunton to Dartmouth (and back) that dropped off in the village, but that's your only public transport. A taxi from Taunton would be very expensive, from Dartmouth not so bad, and you could get to Dartmouth on the steam train to add a touch of class.

The post office in the village doubles as a small shop, but expect higher prices than Tesco. There's a Sainsburys on the outskirts of Dartmouth if you can get there, with one of the Aldi  / Lidl supermarkets almost opposite it.

Kate was still around but no longer lives on site,  basically just drives around collecting money and checking everyone is okay.

Shower and toilet facilities are still in the big barn, so covering up to cross the textile section is still required, but I did it in loose shorts and my wife did it wrapped in a towel. 

We didn't use the cooking or laundry facilities, but the freezer was useful for our iceblocks. 

There was still no option for caravan hire, so if you can't get your "accomodation" there off your own back you are stuffed. (I can't imagine that you arriving there and sleeping in the "barn" is an option.)

At the time there were quite a few workmen from the Seaton Road improvement living there on the textile side, but apart from one idiot (who apparently had just been sacked ) deciding to drive around at 5am one morning like a maniac, there was no problem. Works are now finished so they should have gone.

I think if I was retired and single I would offer to be the resident caretaker, dealing with bookings, living on site in a caravan,  and working for nothing but my accommodation.
