About Hennock Hideaways
Hennock Hideways is just inside Dartmoor National Park, about seven miles from the coast and a 15-minute drive to the infamous Haytor Rock. The site is popular with ramblers, cyclists and visitors seeking a secluded getaway to soak in the countryside, as well as families looking for a budget back-to-basics camping getaway. There are 20 non electric spacious grass pitches that each allow up to ten people, for tents only Additionally there are two glamping bell tents, each sleeping up to five people. Inside you'll find a double bed with bedding, towels for two, an extra double futon mattress, a projector, cooking utensils and crockery and a fridge and double ring gas hob. For those groups larger than two, you'll need to bring your own bedding. Outside the bell tents you'll find your own fire pit, BBQ, private covered kitchen area and seating, perfect for dining al fresco on those warmer evenings. While the kids are doing endless and happily tiring laps around the Hennock camping field or playing in the play area, the big folk can get on with what's important in life, such as sparking up a campfire and cheerfully considering where to visit next on their Devon holiday. As the site say themselves, "feral children are welcome, and so are well-behaved grown-ups." Dogs that can behave around livestock are welcome too.
Open from 3 May to 30 September
Facilities include hot showers and toilets, water taps, and a tea shed with washing facilities and information about the local area. There is a seperate toilet for glampers. There are also picnic tables and a children's play area at the bottom of the pitching field, plus a bonfire area and supply bricks for campers to have their own BBQ on their pitch.
Onsite there is a great honesty shop for food. Devon ciders, real ales, wine and well-priced pub food are available at the local sixteenth century free house, the Palk Arms, a two-minute walk away.

Things to do on site and in the Newton Abbot area
There is a local park in the heart of Hennock village and three amazing reservoirs within a mile or two - one of which is a premier trout fly fishery. Pike fishing is also available, along with boat hire.
Two miles away is Bovey Tracey, a model national park town with a few quaint shops, food shops, a few more pubs, takeaways and a craft centre along with a lovely park that you can walk the River Teign by.
Dartmoor is the place to go for walking. Letterboxing is fun and the tor-to-tor walks are breathtaking. It doesn't hurt that Dartmoor ponies are also adorable.
Canonteign Falls (5 minute drive) is England's highest manmade waterfall (over 70m), and a magnificent example of a Victorian folly set in a magical natural paradise.
For the golfer, beginner or pro, Teign Valley Golf Club is also a ten minute drive. The 18 hole course at just over 6000 yards (par 70) is fast-draining and provides excellent all year round playability.
The coast is only seven miles away at Teignmouth, from where you can follow the coast to Torbay and the English Riviera all the way to Brixham.
Other local activities include horse riding, Go Ape and Segway at Haldon Forest, Paigtnon Zoo, Dartmoor Zoo and more!
