Evening folks, have a special friend visiting and am looking for a place to camp. Must be in devon, near exeter, newton abbot or dartmoor.
Proper paid site is ok if it is going to be really quiet or anyone recommend just a pretty spot to pitch a tent?
Thank you for your help.
Jon

Have a look at ukcampsite.co.uk for excellent review section of paid campsites…it's the STW of camping I reckon. Failing that, I don't know of any pretty spots in the area to which you're referring…sorry.

Thanks dd I will check that out. Meanwhile if anyone can suggest a good spot that turns out good I will make a small but worthwhile donation to a charity if their choice.
Cheers

You can camp on Dartmoor for nothing as long as you can't be seen from the road-How special is your friend? how about Lustleigh?

plenty of people camp on dartmoor well within sight of the road. i drive past them on the way to work every morning.

I've never really considered camping in Devon cos I live there… so any camping is usually whatever bit of land looks nice or in a mates garden..

so.. errr
As a child we went camping as a family to

the River Dart Country Park and also Finlake.. both are quite big commercial ventures.

The one behind the Plume of Feathers pub in Princetown isn't too big, is nicely kept and the pub does great food/beer. It's also right on the moor with good riding about 20m from your tent (about 1 1/2 miles from the Widowmaker which is a cracker).
