The rush of the River Dart provides a constant, soothing soundtrack here, its clear waters catching the dappled sunlight that filters through the surrounding ancient woodland. This is Devon at its most gloriously verdant, where the dramatic landscape of Dartmoor National Park meets the lush valleys of the South Hams.
Perfect for families and outdoor enthusiasts who want nature on the doorstep, River Dart Country Park occupies a spectacular riverside setting that invites exploration and adventure. The South West's wild beauty surrounds you, with moorland tors visible in the distance and woodland trails winding through the valley. Open throughout the year, this site welcomes tents, campervans, and caravans to pitches nestled within this naturally dramatic environment.
Facilities include toilets and showers to keep things comfortable after days spent exploring. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask at reception about evening fires. The real draw here is the setting itself—that ever-present river, the towering trees, and the sense of being immersed in Devon's countryside while still having access to essential amenities. It's outdoor living with a properly wild edge.
