The grassy camping meadow. no marked pitches

Communal ex-army tent for eating, entertaining and chilling

Peaceful, dog-friendly site in Dartmoor National Park
Walking distance from reservoirs; a 25-minute drive to Fingle Bridge
Ex-army mess tent for dining and relaxing; natural firepit area

Wild swimming, cycling, hiking or horse riding down lush Devon lanes… the wild and windswept Dartmoor National Park is where you’ll find Beech Tree Farm. At this peaceful site you’ll all have the run of a flat farm meadow with an adjoining copse of mature trees. There's plenty of space to go around too, and it's all centred around a natural firepit area and a large vintage army mess tent space for chilling out and cooking. The other facilities on site have a nice touch too – and that includes a railway carriage conversion with two loos, two hot water showers rooms, a mobile phone charging point and running water for dishwashing, drinking and cooking. Very well-behaved dogs are welcome (the usual doggy rules apply and bins are provided), as are children (there’s a huge area for them to run around). There is livestock on the farm, so guests are asked to be mindful (stag or hen parties are not permitted for this reason). The way here is quite hidden and you’ll pass Blackingstone Tor on your way. But you won’t be too far away from Moretonhampstead (10 minutes’ drive), where there are all the usual amenities including pubs, restaurants, cafés and takeaways, plus a supermarket, butcher, greengrocer and zero shop, all with locally-sourced food.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Excellent field for pitching tent - very flat. Quiet location with lovely views. Facilities were clean & excellent with hot shower rooms and toilets. Adequate wash-up area too. Most impressive was an excellent communal large ‘army tent’ which was great for when the weather turned.

Disliked: Nothing - amazing spot which I look forward to returning too very soon

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: There are only 2 showers and 2 toilets at this site, but they are excellent. Clean, plumbed toilets and hot showers. There’s one big open field with lots of flat ground and one wooded field suitable for tents. Lots of nice walks nearby, some very narrow lanes if you’re in a campervan! We had a great weekend, we almost had the place to ourselves and the big mess tent was very handy when it rained.

Liked: What a lovely site. Very thoughtful and well set out. Really spacious and in beautiful surroundings. If the weather is wet there's a big army tent to take cover if needs be- and, if dry, we loved the big communal fire pit in the copse area next door. A lovely getaway!
