About the site


This family-run park enjoys panoramic views of Dartmoor and the Devon countryside. It's great for a traditional camping holiday with handy facilities including an onsite shop and takeaway menu. For tents, trailer tents, roof tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes, there are a range of grass and hardstanding pitches. Some also include an optional 16 amp electric hook up. If you are travelling light, there are ten small non electric grass pitches for cyclists, walkers and motorcyclists. These pitches don't allow cars. For days out, the site is within a 30 minute drive of Plymouth, the famous Barbican, Ivybridge, Dartmoor National Park, Totnes, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth, Salcombe and many other beaches. It's in such a central location that's ideal for exploring. The site also offers holiday caravans for sale. Dogs can join you for your stay, with up to three pups permitted per pitch. There are even designated walking areas onsite for you to explore. In the evening, you can cook up a BBQ as long as it is raised from the ground. Open fires are not permitted.

A note from the site themselves...

Pennymoor was opened by our Grandmother in 1935 and was passed down to our parents, who have since passed away. It has always been a huge part of our lives, helping out at the site from a young age. It is a way of life.

We meet so many lovely families who return year after year. Indeed, we have many visitors whose parents and grandparents visited us many times and now they themselves bring their own children,

We are very proud of the standard of the holiday caravans and the cleanliness of the whole site and the facilities. Every year, we look forward to meeting our regular and new guests.
