A lovely, well laid out site. Excellent facilities and spotlessly clean. A warm welcome at reception and only £26 for the night. The only drawback were the potholes on the approach lane that could do with attention, but would happily stay again.

Thank you for giving us a great review. It is really appreciated and means so much to Allan & I I understand the concern about the track leading to the campsite. We don't own the track. It is owned by a mining company who subleases the surrounding land including the track to a charity. We have asked permission to tarmac the road but the charity has refused. We continually fill in potholes with road planning. This has to be done when there is dry weather. Of late we haven't had any and in fact we had a months rain in 6 hours last week. We are hoping to meet with the charity CEO over the winter to see if we can get the decision changed. We will continue to maintain the track and through most of the season, the track is fine.
A beautiful and peaceful site

This site is beautifully maintained, the ablutions are the best I’ve seen. The owners are great and very attentive. The site is very peaceful and tranquil. We stayed an extra night and would definitely stay there again.
Brilliant

It's a shame that other sites can't follow the cleaning system and standard of Oakmoor. It should be a 10+

Things to do on site and in the Newton Abbot area
Chudleigh Knighton Heath is a heathland mosaic of gorse, heather and grassland. This was once the landscape which stretched for miles across what is known locally as the Bovey Basin. Spot the wildlife including the nightjar, stonechat, glow worm and the four spotted chaser.
Dartmoor National Park is just moments away from the park. Explore this incredible open landscape and spend the day admiring the waterfalls, heading through forests and wandering by ruins. Explore the picturesque villages, go rambling, cycling, letterboxing, horse riding or just picnicking and having fun beside the streams and rivers.
There is a short half mile walk through the nature reserve to Chudleigh Knighton. The historic town of Bovey Tracey is just over a mile away by car or bike, or a two mile walk away.
Bovey Tracey is one of the main gateway towns to Dartmoor, with a number of unique visitor attractions and a good mixture of shops. A pretty cob and Dartmoor-granite built town, situated on the River Bovey, it's home to the internationally renowned Devon Guild of Craftsmen, based in a 19th century watermill on the river.
Hennock is just above the site, towering 800 feet over the Teign Valley. This is a peaceful village with a proper Devon village pub, the Palk Arms, and stunning walks to the Trenchford, Tottiford and Kennick reservoirs.
One and a half miles away is 114 acres of woodland, heathland, grassland, lake and marsh that makes up Stover Country Park. Here, you'll see a wide variety of wildlife including birds, insects, dragonflies and damselflies as well as small mammals. Enjoy a picnic by Stover Lake and its marsh.
The coastal towns of Teignmouth and Torquay and the town of Totnes are all within easy reach to make your holiday different everyday.
