About Lakemoor Devon Campsite

The campsite is located within a 1.5 acre field, which runs along the River Taw and there are lovely river views from your tent. Tents are pitched up in a lovely field sheltered by trees and surrounded by wildlife. Go back to basics in a field that allows plenty of space to play and explore, relax and do things you enjoy. BBQs and campfires are also welcome with a communal fire pit, BBQ and undercover table and benches for guests to enjoy. No cars are permitted in the camping field, so you will not be disturbed by fellow campers driving in late or going out early. Caravanning is in the top field, overlooking the small holding, so you can sit and watch the pigs, chickens, goats and ducks. Stay on comfy grass and gravel hard standings, four of which offer optional electric, and one without. A short walk takes you to eco friendly facilities for campers and tourers. For a spot of extra luxury, stay in The Ark, a unique glamping unit with a double bed, cosy interior and an outside private decking area next to the lake. For even quirkier glamping you can stay in the Egyptian inspired Pyrapod with its unique geometric shape, tucked away next to the lake- and there's a cosy lakeside cabin too. Both offer a toasty log burner, comfy double bed and furnishings. A spacious bell tent - The Lotus is the perfect home away from home with a chic interior, plus an excellent double bed, single futon and log burner inside to keep you cosy. There is also catch and release course carp fishing available if you are staying at The Ark, The Cabin or The Pyrapod, all of which are situated around the lake. This is an extra charge per day. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome, with two allowed per pitch and one in the cabin. Please note, the glamping units are pet free.

Lakemoor Devon Campsite is open from 28/03 to 31/08.

A note from the site themselves...

We call this our little piece of heaven in Devon. It feels so rural once you are through the gates, surrounded by farm land, but still easily accessible from the A377, with a direct route to Exeter, or Barnstable or the Sea. We love working towards having an eco site with water from our borehole and compost toilets, it is definitely a back to nature site. We are always busy with the animals or growing our own veg, come and talk to us as we are happy to share our new learned skills.

We love having groups of friends and family to stay, we cater for the campers, the caravanners and the glampers.

Glamping - The LotusAug 2023

Great facilities and well thought out. Love the eco-friendly vibe of the facilities as well. Really friendly welcome and happy to help out. We loved our stay in the "Lotus" glamping tent, all we said was that we wished we stayed for longer.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding PitchJul 2023

The owners, Claire and Justin, are extremely friendly and accommodating and the small holding animals are very cute - goats, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. There's also a small lake and access to the river for paddling. But, if you're looking for peace and quiet in the countryside this site is not for you due to the close proximity to a noisy road which is a shame. Great spot for exploring the mid-Devon area though, including two woods and a motte and bailey castle close by.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. I understand your comment about the road noise, which is not noticeable in the camping field and glamping area. Our location, as you say, is good for exploring Devon.
