The Bus on the Hill

The creak of a vintage bus door, the rustle of canvas in the Devon breeze, and views that stretch across rolling countryside – this is camping with character. The Bus on the Hill sits proud in its hillside perch, where morning mist lifts to reveal the gentle contours of the South West's pastoral landscape and evenings bring spectacular sunsets that paint the sky in shades of amber and rose.

Perfect for traditional campers, caravanners, and campervan tourers seeking an unpretentious base in Devon, this site strips camping back to the essentials. Its location offers easy access to both the county's dramatic coastline and the wild expanse of Dartmoor, making it ideal for those who plan to spend their days exploring and return to a peaceful pitch come evening.

Facilities keep things simple with showers and toilets serving those who prefer their comforts straightforward rather than spa-like. The eponymous bus adds a quirky focal point to the site, and there's potential for campfires – though you'll need to check what's allowed when you arrive. The overall vibe is refreshingly low-key and genuinely welcoming.
