About the site

Owned and run by the same family for 90 years, the site 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. All pitches allow cycles or cars. For days out, the site is within a 30 minute drive of Plymouth, the famous Barbican, Ivybridge, Totnes, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth, Salcombe and many beaches - Bigbury on Sea, Thurlestone, Hope Cove, Bantham, South Milton, Mothecombe. It is a central location and two minutes from the A379, which makes exploring the area easy and stress free. The site also offers two and three bedroom holiday caravans for hire if you do not fancy camping. Dogs can join you for your stay, with up to three pups permitted per pitch. There are even designated off-lead 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. The extremely popular onsite cafe is run by Richie and Alison, who serve amazing breakfasts, lunches and takeway meals, homemade cakes, coffee and tea.

Pennymoor Caravan and Camping Park is open from 15/03 to 01/11 in 2025 and 2026. Pitches from £12/night for 2 people.

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 very 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 and grandchildren.

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.

Pennymoor Caravan and Camping Park is ideal for...

Couples
Duke of Edinburgh Award
Older children (13+)
Rallies
Young children

Things to do on site and in the Modbury area

Bantham Beach is just 20 minutes away, a fantastic spot when the sun is shining. With golden sands, gentle waves and views of Burgh Island, it's a favourite for families, swimmers and surfers. At low tide, the wide beach is great for searching for shells!

Also nearby is Bigbury-on-Sea (15 minutes), where you can walk across the sand to Burgh Island, or take the quirky sea tractor when the tide comes in. Also available at Bigbury on Sea is paddleboard or kayaking lessons or board hire from "Discovery Surf".

Other nearby attractions include:

  • Woodlands Family Theme Park (20 minutes)
  • Dartmoor Zoo, Sparkwell (30 minutes)
