Doone Valley Campsite

The curlews call at dawn here, and mist lifts slowly off the valley floor, revealing the dark moorland ridges that inspired Lorna Doone herself.

Tucked into Exmoor's legendary Doone Valley, this site welcomes tents, campervans and caravans onto pitches that feel genuinely remote without being inaccessible. You're deep in Blackmore Country here — walkers will find themselves spoiled with trails threading through oak woods and heather-clad slopes, and families will love the sense of proper wilderness just beyond the tent door. The whole valley hums with that Exmoor quiet, broken only by sheep and the River Lyn tumbling somewhere below.

Facilities are simple and straightforward: toilets and showers onsite, and you'll want to check the campfire policy when you arrive. It's the kind of place where you come for the landscape rather than luxury — moorland stars, red deer at dusk, and the feeling you've stepped back a century or two. Peaceful, properly rural, and utterly Exmoor.
