Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Fantastic site, very Clean and tidy, owners are really friendly , swapped our pitch for us so we had sun most of the day and evening.
The dog exercise area was great allowing the pooches off the leads.
Nice Hot showers
Will definitely stay again

I would absolutely want to stay again.
Power optional grass site
Liked Immaculate site, consistently well maintained. good facilities including wifi. very welcoming staff. small “games room” a pleasant surprise. walking area for dogs, large level pitches. no children. amazing views of stars at night. quiet camp. you can park where you camp. easy number plate recognition barriers.
Disliked onsite shop somewhat misleading. more helpful items such as disposable bbq, basic cutlery sets would have been helpful. checking after 6pm not ideal means we missed a day of our break. “no groups” rule which was confusing- we made three separate bookings due to number of tents. we were a group of 5 (two couples and a friend) yet, can have up to six people on one pitch!- slight discrimination based on our age.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. However to cover your dislikes. We are only a very small shop, not a super market. We do not sell disposable BBQ's because we do not allow them. The latest check-in is very clear when booking and as there are only two of us who work 7 days a week, we have to have a cut off. We were accommodating and said that as you could not arrive by 6pm that you could arrive from 9am the next day. With regards to how many people per pitch it is actually a maximum of 4 people per pitch. We do not allow group bookings and were very accommodating to the fact that you all booked separately and did not mention that you were with friends. It most certainly nothing to do with your age! I politely spoke to you all and said that we do not allow group bookings and hoped that you would all be quiet. We rate ourselves on being a very quiet site. However I'm pleased to see that after all this you would return. Best wishes from Leigh and David

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Barley Meadow Touring Park is a true gem for anyone who enjoys camping in a peaceful, beautifully maintained setting. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome that set the tone for a wonderfully relaxing stay.
The pitches are spacious, level, and thoughtfully laid out, giving you plenty of privacy while still feeling part of the friendly atmosphere. The facilities are spotless and modern—showers, toilets, and washing areas are maintained to the highest standard, and it’s clear the owners take real pride in keeping everything immaculate.
What really makes Barley Meadow stand out is the location. Nestled in stunning Devon countryside, it’s perfectly situated for exploring Dartmoor, nearby villages, and the coast. The site itself is tranquil and quiet, ideal for switching off and enjoying the fresh air, yet it’s close enough to attractions, walking trails, and pubs for when you want to get out and about.
The team running the park go above and beyond to make sure guests feel comfortable. They’re approachable, knowledgeable about the local area, and always happy to help with recommendations.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-run, and welcoming site with fantastic facilities and beautiful surroundings, Barley Meadow Touring Park is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be returning!

Give this Campsite a try. You’ll not be disappointed.
Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Loved our one night at Barley Meadow. First time here but not our last. This lovely site has super maintained grounds a pitches. You may need chocks on some. The site is close to the A30 and a nearby Petrol station is very handy, and not motorway prices! We didn’t use the ablution block, but I’m sure it was spotless. Great friendly welcome from the Gentleman/ owner, and why don’t more campsites used ANPR cameras at the entrance, instead of codes? Much better idea!
Disliked Nothing.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site
Liked The facilities were excellent, everything was well kept, clean and tidy. Great information and communication too. Super value too.
Disliked Only the occasional road noise and hum of the A30 in the distance but that can't be helped and we could see from the location there was a road so our choice to book.
