The wind carries the scent of gorse and wet granite, and on clear mornings the high moor spreads out like a rumpled blanket stitched with ancient stone walls.
This is proper Dartmoor camping — tents, campervans and caravans all welcome on a site that suits walkers tackling the tors, families wanting space to roam, and anyone chasing that wild Devon upland feeling without giving up hot showers. The South West's most dramatic moorland is right on your doorstep, all heather and ponies and big skies, with market towns and proper Devon pubs a short drive down winding lanes when you need supplies or Sunday lunch.
You've got your basics covered — decent toilets and showers onsite — but this is more about what's beyond the gate than what's within it. Worth checking the campfire policy when you arrive if you're after an evening round the flames. The vibe leans rugged and unfussy, the sort of place where muddy boots and Ordnance Survey maps are part of the scenery.
