Devon Campsites
Find your perfect campsite in Devon, from moorland farm sites near Dartmoor to coastal pitches along the South Hams. With two national parks, miles of coastline, and a strong tradition of family-run sites, Devon is one of the best counties in the country for camping.
Why Camp in Devon?
Devon offers a genuine mix of landscapes within a single county. You can pitch up within reach of Dartmoor’s tors and wild ponies one trip, then return for a coastal site near a sandy beach the next. The county has a strong network of independent, family-run campsites, many of them working farms, alongside larger holiday parks with full facilities for those who want pool, play areas, and on-site amenities.
Best Areas to Camp in Devon
Dartmoor – For campers who want wide open moorland on their doorstep. Sites around Bovey Tracey, Moretonhampstead, and Princetown put you within easy reach of the park’s tors, ancient stone circles, and walking trails. Dartmoor is also one of the few places in England with byelaws permitting wild camping in designated areas, for those after a backpacking-style trip.
Exmoor – Sweeping hills, a dramatic coastline, and some of the clearest night skies in southern England. A strong choice for stargazers and walkers alike.
South Hams and the South Devon Coast – Harbour towns, sandy beaches, and the South West Coast Path running through it all. Ideal for a relaxed coastal camping trip.
North Devon Coast – Quieter than the south coast, with dramatic cliffs and surf beaches around Croyde and Woolacombe.
Things to Do Near Your Campsite
Devon is built for outdoor holidays. Walk or cycle sections of the South West Coast Path, hike Dartmoor’s granite tors, or try kayaking on the River Dart. For families, attractions like Becky Falls, Canonteign Falls, and the River Dart Country Park offer a full day out, while Buckfast Abbey and its gardens make for a quieter visit.
Devon’s food scene is also worth building a trip around, local farm shops, cider producers, and seafood restaurants along the coast are part of what makes a Devon camping holiday special.
