Dartmoor Halfway Inn

The creak of the inn's weathered sign and the distant bleat of moorland sheep set the soundtrack here, where Dartmoor's ancient landscape rolls away in every direction. Morning mist clings to the tors before burning off to reveal that signature Devon patchwork of purple heather and granite outcrops stretching to hazy horizons.

This traditional pub-with-pitches setup works beautifully for those wanting proper moorland immersion without sacrificing a warm welcome and a well-pulled pint at day's end. You're genuinely in the thick of Dartmoor here, with walking routes onto the moor practically from your tent door, making it ideal for hikers, cyclists tackling the Devon lanes, and families keen to explore one of England's last great wildernesses. The South West's dramatic coastline lies within striking distance for day trips.

Facilities cover the basics with toilets and showers available, while tent, campervan and caravan pitches mean most setups are accommodated. Check campfire permissions on arrival if you're hoping for flames under the stars. The overall feel is refreshingly unfussy—moorland camping with that welcome sight of a proper country inn nearby.
