Lemonford Caravan Park

The soft murmur of the River Teign provides a constant, soothing soundtrack at this unpretentious riverside park where dappled sunlight filters through mature trees onto well-spaced pitches. Located in the gentle Devon countryside, Lemonford offers that increasingly rare commodity: a straightforward, back-to-basics camping experience without bells and whistles.

This is a site for those seeking peaceful riverside camping within reach of Dartmoor's dramatic tors and the South Devon coast. Families wanting simple outdoor time, couples touring the region's market towns and cream tea haunts, and campervanners exploring the moors will all find Lemonford's quiet, rural setting appealing. Its year-round operation makes it particularly valuable for off-season explorers when Devon's lanes are quieter and the moorland takes on its most atmospheric character.

Facilities are functional rather than fancy—clean toilets and showers serve tent, caravan and campervan pitches dotted among the trees. Check about campfire policies when you arrive. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and traditional, the kind of place where birdsong competes with kettle whistles and the river's gentle flow marks the passing of unhurried days.
