Woodland Ways

The morning mist clings to ancient Devon oaks as wood pigeons call overhead, while dappled sunlight filters through the canopy onto your tent. This is camping as it should be—sheltered by woodland, wrapped in birdsong, and gloriously unhurried.

Woodland Ways offers a back-to-basics retreat in the South West, ideal for families seeking adventure and couples craving quietude among the trees. With space for tents, campervans and caravans, it strikes that sweet spot between wild camping and creature comforts. Devon's dramatic coastline, moorland walks and market towns are all within reach, making this an excellent base for exploring one of England's most diverse counties.

Facilities are refreshingly simple—clean toilets and showers provide the essentials without overwhelming the natural setting. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so there may be evenings gathered around crackling flames beneath the stars. The overall atmosphere leans peaceful and woodland-focused, where the rustling leaves and filtered green light become part of your daily rhythm. This is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with simpler pleasures.
