  • Family-friendly campsite with rural views in Devon’s South Hams hills
  • Dartmoor National Park 10 minutes’ drive; Castle Drogo 45 minutes
  • Well-equipped communal kitchen and barn; pristine modern amenities
If you love spending time outside but don’t love compromising on comfort, you should be very happy at Meadowfields Campsite, five minutes’ drive from Dartington in Devon. You can expect smart modern facilities and communal spaces to relax or cook, all surrounded by the hilly South Hams, with easy access to Dartmoor National Park (10 minutes’ drive) and about half an hour by car from the south coast. The communal barn is a welcoming, relaxed and light-flooded space where you can get together, chill and stay dry in any rainy spells. There are board games so you can engage in a little friendly competition, and outdoor sofas and tables for lounging on clement days. No need to bring your own cooking gear either, as the communal kitchen has everything you need for stress-free meal prep; you can also spark up your barbecue if you’re going down the self-catering route. New in 2025, the accessible shower block has plenty of space, extra-roomy showers and cosy underfloor heating to make camping comfortable whatever the weather. There are also washing-up stations for easy clean-ups, and laundry amenities include a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Local attractions

Where will it be first? Perhaps you fancy exploring Dartmoor National Park (10 minutes’ drive)? You can hike a myriad of family-friendly routes like the path along the River Teign from Fingle Bridge (45 minutes’ drive), or have a potter around Lydford Gorge (55 minutes), all the while keeping an eye out for Dartmoor ponies and birds of prey. Ride the scenic Granite Way and Drake’s Trail by bike, go horse riding (15 minutes) across the high moor, and then cool off with a refreshing dip on the River Dart at Sharrah Pool (15 minutes) or Spitchwick Common (20 minutes). On cultural days out, go right back to the beginning of history to see the remains of Bronze Age roundhouses at Grimspound (35 minutes). Other ideas for family trips include touring the manicured grounds at Dartington Hall Gardens (10 minutes), visiting the sensory gardens and stunning abbey with its rich ornamentation at Buckfast (also 10 minutes), or admiring the designs of uber-architect Sir Edwin Lutyens at spectacular Castle Drogo (45 minutes).
