About the site

The family run campsite is located within the 1,200-acre Dartington Estate, offering a backdrop of heritage and scenic countryside views. With a host of onsite eateries and activities, there is plenty for everyone to enjoy. There is a coffee shop, a bagel shop and a pub (all open daily), plus a unique cinema in a converted barn, grade II listed gardens, a play park and deer park trails! For tents, there are 27 grass 10m x 10m pitches without electric, and there are eight grass 8m x 12m pitches, also without electric, for campervans only. These are surrounded by woodland and farmland, with impressive views across the estate toward Dartmoor. If you want to leave the tent pegs at home, there are seven cosy camping pods. The pods sleep up to two in a double bed with bedding provided, along with towels, a dining area and heating. Shared campsite facilities can be found within a short stroll. Explore trails across the estate, wander through the gardens filled with sculptures and ancient trees, or enjoy live performances, workshops, and cinema sessions on the estate, quiz nights, or a stroll around the deer park. For days by the sea, Paignton Beach and Broadsands Beach are within a 25 minute drive. For those wanting to cook up their own dinner, raised fire pits and BBQs are permitted. Up to three dogs are welcome per pitch, but the pods are pet free. There is even an off lead area for walking canine companions.
