Dartmoor Camping is a beautiful wild camping site situated on Dartmoor in Widecombe-in-the-Moor

Hi everyone, we have had some bad news regarding the 2024 season. We are not able to open the site due to a new planning law that has been brought in about temporary summer campsites.

Due to our site being near a river it is in a flood zone 3 area which means we had to obtain planning permission. We applied and the application got refused by the local council. (Teignbridge). Even though there has been no recorded flooding there for decades since the river was straightened and dredged and we have been operating the campsite for the last three years with no issues... they have taken away our ability to operate with no real consultation or evidence based decision making.

I am really sorry for those of you who were planning on visiting us this summer. I have emailed out to all the bookings we had taken to inform them of this development.

I can recommend two other sites in the village... one just around the corner at the Rugglestone Inn. They have a great little site behind the pub with a wild camping feel. The other is Cockingford Farm campsite up the valley which is a short drive from the centre of the village.

Again, I am really sorry for the bad news but it's completely out of my hands at the moment.

The sun may have set on this site but keep an eye out for future exciting developments. We will be keeping this page open with updates.

Regards, Dan

Hi all, we are now closed for the 2023 season. Its been an interesting August with the weather but it has not deterred our campers who have braved the showers and unpredictable conditions. We would like to thank everyone who has come and stayed with us at Widecombe Valley... we appreciate your custom. Look forward to welcoming you back next year in 2024.

We are in our final few days of camping at Widecombe Valley. Our last night is Widecombe Fair night on Tuesday 12th September.

If you want to join us for the fair celebrations then get yourself booked in. We advise booking for the night of the 11th and 12th September as the roads around the village will be operating a one way system so it could be tricky to arrive and leave during fair day. . It also means you can enjoy the fair and evening bash without worrying about driving... just walk back to the campsite. More details on how to book are available on our website... https://www.dartmoor-camping.com/

WIDECOMBE FAIR... don't forget we have our annual village fair on Tuesday 12th September. It's a big fair for a small village!

Lots of things to see and do throughout the day for all ages including live music and a late bar on the fair field. We are open for camping at this time so if you fancy being part of the celebrations... get yourself booked in.

We advise staying the night before and the night of the fair because the whole village is closed off to vehicles on the day. Enjoy your time at this traditional country fair and have a drink safe in the knowledge you can simply walk back to your tent or campervan for a good nights sleep.

Book direct with us now through the website... https://www.dartmoor-camping.com/Contact
