  • Six-acre farm site with spectacular views towards Dartmoor
  • Meet the farm animals and have a tractor trailer ride
  • Bar and restaurant, toddlers' play area and games room for older kids
Old MacDonald had a…Parkers Farm? Herd your fledglings here to meet Douglas and Jimmy the donkeys and the rest of the herd: ponies, lambs, guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs, ducks, chickens, sheep, goats, alpacas and cows all live on Parkers Farm Holiday Park, right in the middle of the south Devon countryside with quacking great views towards Dartmoor and a 12-mile drive from the coast. (Naturally, dogs are welcome too.) Farm fans can milk their holiday for all it’s worth with free tractor trailer rides around the site and farm walks to meet, greet and feed the menagerie (during English school holiday periods only); safe play areas and six acres of fields are available for the kids and dogs to go free range at too. Off site, the farm is near a flock of other Devon animal attractions: Pennywell Farm, Paignton Zoo and meeting the ponies of Dartmoor are within a quick drive. The Parker family have run the farm as a holiday park for over 60 years and know the ropes in keeping guests relaxed and a-moo-sed: Miss Piggy's bar and restaurant dishes up home-cooked and well-cooked meals as well as takeaway, and has evening entertainment during the six-week school summer holiday period. (Dogs are welcome too). In the bar and restaurant, there is a soft play area for toddlers to let loose in, while older kids can play in the games room with video games and pool tables. Guests also have access to the stacks of clean and up-to-date facilities: two tiled shower blocks with free hot showers, two big family rooms, well-equipped disabled facilities and a large area for washing up and prepping vegetables. Other amenities include a shop open from Whitsun to mid-September, launderette and free ironing facilities, an information area and an ice pack service.

Liked Stayed on pitch N4. Was great location and by the toilet block like I had requested. Lovely camp and friendly lady on reception. Didn’t use the bar, except to pop in and get some ice for my dog which they were happy to help.

Had breakfast at the food truck which was lovely. Young lad running it was super friendly!

Only downside was the noise from my main road but it didn’t bother me personally. Definitely going to return.

Liked Lovely big pitches, everything there was clean and tidy! Facilities were excellent! Staff were friendly, informative and accommodating.

The animals on site were a lovely addition and the site as a whole felt amazing for family groups!

Absolutely loved it here and we will be back

Disliked The *only* thing was the noise from the A38 but thats out of their control and we knew about it already, so it's just a point for people to consider if they've missed that on the map. But it was only a tiny gripe!!

Liked Facilities. Pitch size. View.

Disliked Burger in the clubhouse. Could do with upgrading to a butchers burger and charge the extra instead of using a catering burger. I would be happy to pay more. Service was great. Jacket potato was amazing. This is my preference.

Local attractions

You might be all of a dither trying to decide which Devon attraction to visit first, as coast, country, active options and peaceful pursuits are all near Parkers Farm, whether you prefer off the beaten track or more famed areas like Dartmoor National Park. Beaches first? Your pitch is a paltry 12 miles from the Devon coastline and the seaside towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. If you’d like to cram as much activity as possible into one area, Dartmoor National Park's your spot: start off with horse riding or pony trekking from one of the several stables (the park has different areas marked off for different levels of rider). More urban(e)ly, Exeter, Newton Abbot and Ashburton are close to hand too if you fancy some shopping, a dip in Ashburton’s heated outdoor pool or a small flutter at Exeter Racecourse on the Haldon Hills.
