  • Level field with large pitches on the banks of the River Avon
  • Several beaches within a half-hour drive; 10 minutes to Dartmoor
  • In the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Oakenhambridge Camping is a peaceful site on the banks of the river Avon, just outside the village of Diptford up at the northern end of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There’s plenty of space on the large pitches here – each one measures about five square metres, and they’re all on a pleasingly level field. That means lots of scope to run about and play games, or to set up a barbecue at a safe distance from all such action. It's a simple setup here so there’s no running water or other luxuries, but you’ll have access to portable toilets in the field. Supplies for your grill can be picked up at the shops in Totnes, 15 minutes’ drive away; if you’re not in the mood for cooking, there are easy eats on hand at the family-friendly local pub – it’s just over a mile away, with a large beer garden for those warm evenings. As you’ll be staying in an officially scenic area, it’s no surprise to hear that there are lots of places to get out for walks and bike rides nearby – and the trails of Dartmoor National Park are only about 10-15 minutes away by car, too. And of course you’re never that far from the coast in Devon: here there are several lovely sandy stretches within a half-hour drive, including Blackpool Sands, Bantham beach, Torcross and Bigbury-on-Sea (where you can ride the sea tractor out to Burgh Island).

Lauren D.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The big open space, it was absolutely gorgeous and we loved the river that ran on the side of the field, made sleeping so cosy with the sound of the water! The bridge to get into the field is narrow but we only have a small car anyway so was not an issue! Myself and my partner took our dog with us, he’s a rescue so can get overwhelmed with everyday life. To see him unbothered with lots of space was amazing. A weekend well spent! We will 100% be staying again!

Disliked Could not fault it!
