This site offers spacious hardstanding and grass pitches for tents and tourers alike.
Stunning views of the iconic Dartmoor National Park from your pitch
Easy access to Devon's north and south coast, and a short distance from Cornwall
Excellent facilities, including a small shop and WiFi throughout the site
About Lydford Caravan and Camping Park
This well-maintained park sits along Dartmoor's edge and is just a short walk from the famous gorge, with a village on hand and larger shops not far away in Tavistock, 20 minutes from base. A short distance away, you'll find the spectacular Lydford Gorge's 30m waterfall, and on either side, Devon's north and south coast. Caravans, motorhomes, folding campers and tents are all welcome. For the tourers, there are hardstanding or grass pitches with 16 amp electric hook up (max unit length 8.5m), and there is also a separate space for tents, which has expansive views across the national park. Electric is also available for those pitching a tent. A maximum of three well-behaved dogs per unit are welcome to join you.
Lydford Caravan and Camping Park is open from 08/03 to 27/10.
Site facilities include centrally heated showers, toilets (with a dedicated parent and child room) and a washing up area. There is WiFi on site and ice pack freezing. A small shop on site sells the essentials, camping gear, newspapers to order, plus Calor and Camping Gaz. It also has an off-license so that campers can buy wines, beers and spirits. The park offers a convenient 1km dog walk.
An easy walk also takes you to the Castle Inn in the village. Less than 1.5 miles away you'll find the Lydford Gorge tea rooms and the Dartmoor Inn is just a half mile east. A bus stop is just 100 yards from site at the war memorial.

Extremely friendly, professionally run and spotlessly clean site. Great location within easy walking distance to Lydford, Lydford Gorge and Dartmoor, with many circular walks of various lengths directly from the campsite. Then just a short drive into Tavistock. All facilities were well maintained and very clean. We stayed on a grass pitch with beautiful views over the moors. Also just a short drive away from the A30 so convenient for arrival and departure. Will highly recommend and hopefully return. Thank you.

We spent 2 nights at Lydford Caravan and Camping Park and it was wonderful. The wardens were friendly and helpful and the facilities were spotlessly clean. Lots of lovely walks from the site and an excellent pub in easy walking distance.

Things to do on site and in the Okehampton area
The pretty village of Lydford is home to the historic world of a 9th century former prison and a charming church which has its own intriguing history.
You can walk to the Castle Inn and raise a glass or if you feel like going further (and ignoring the car), it's an easy bus ride to Tavistock or even Okehampton. You'll find the bus stop only 100m from the site entrance.
Lydford Gorge's claim to fame is that it's the deepest gorge in England, so it's well worth the five minute stroll to see how far down it really does go. There's a picturesque trail which will also bring you past Whitelady Waterfall and Devil's Cauldron - surely a name that would fascinate any visitor!
If you've got the bike in tow, you'll find the nearby Granite Way perfect for exploring.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Lydford Gorge Alpacas (5 minutes)
- Dartmoor Brewery (25 minutes)
- National Trust - Cotehele (35 minutes)
- National Trust - Buckland Abbey (35 minutes)
- Burrator Reservoir (35 minutes)
