Exmoor Youth Hostel Campsite

The soft bleating of moorland sheep drifts across the valley as dawn light touches the heather-clad hills surrounding this simple campsite. Tucked into Exmoor's ancient landscape, you're waking in one of England's most atmospheric national parks, where wild ponies roam and red deer still call across the combes.

This straightforward site suits adventurous campers, families seeking an affordable Exmoor base, and anyone drawn to the moor's brooding beauty. You're positioned perfectly for tackling the South West Coast Path, exploring wooded valleys, or simply disappearing into miles of open moorland. The Devon-Somerset border country here offers serious walking, cycling, and wildlife watching, with Exmoor's dark skies delivering spectacular stargazing when night falls.

Welcoming tents, campervans, and caravans, the site keeps things refreshingly unfussy. Check on arrival about campfire policies if you're hoping for evening flames. The youth hostel association ethos means functionality over frills, but when you're surrounded by such raw natural drama, you won't need entertaining. This is Exmoor camping at its most honest and accessible.
