  • Small family-run site on a smallholding in Dartmoor National Park
  • Close to River Teign and Two Moors Way; 25 minutes' drive to Exeter
  • Simple pitches with well-kept facilities, plus play area and hammocks
Three Hares Campsite is a small family-run site in the Dartmoor National Park, part of a 25-acre smallholding run by friendly Chinnie and Henry. Simple, secluded and scenic – that’s the style of this little Devon site full of wildflowers and trees and bordering a little stream. It’s got hammocks set up in the willow trees and a small play area with a tree swing for the kids, and welcomes barbecues and campfires (as long as they’re kept off the ground). There’s also fab farm shop five minutes' drive away for top-notch sausages and local veg to grill. There’s much to do in the surrounding area, whether you’re planning hikes on the Two Moors Way, bike rides on the Wray Valley Trail or Granite Way, kayaking, swimming and climbing around the River Teign or simply sampling all the Devon cream teas you can possibly manage. Exeter’s about a 25-minute drive away for a city fix, and you can get to beach days within about 40 minutes. This is a simple and eco-friendly site but all the necessary facilities are in place: guests have access to fresh water, hot (and strong) showers, flushing toilets, a chemical waste point and a lovely timber-framed washing-up area. Sorry, but no dogs are allowed on site as it has sheep for neighbours.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Small site, large plots, kids play area was great with a den, swings and tree swing, quiet location not too far from shops etc. if needed. Easy to check in and hosts came round to say hi and check we were ok.
Toilets/showers were always clean.

Disliked They advertise a microwave on site which we nearly planned to use for dinner Friday evening but luckily didn’t as we couldn’t find it.
There
Were several bulbs out over the ladies showers which made things a bit dark.

Perfect for me

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Small play area with natural material swings.
Small site so 6 year old could have some freedom to wander to play area or toilets by herself.
Clean site and toilets. Water easily accessed.

Disliked Very noisy stream and animals, no barrier between play area and stream.
