  • Six-acre farm site with spectacular views towards Dartmoor
  • Half an hour's drive from the coast including Teignmouth
  • Meet the farm animals and have a tractor trailer ride
Old MacDonald had a… Parkers Farm? Herd your fledglings here to meet Douglas and Jimmy the donkeys and the rest of the herd: ponies, lambs, guinea pigs, rabbits, pigs, ducks, chickens, sheep, goats, alpacas and cows all live on Parkers Farm Holiday Park, right in the middle of the south Devon countryside with quacking great views towards Dartmoor and a 12-mile drive from the coast. (Naturally, dogs are welcome too.) Farm fans can milk their holiday for all it’s worth with free tractor-trailer rides around the site and farm walks to meet, greet and feed the menagerie (on a Monday, Thursday or Saturday during English school holiday periods only); safe play areas and six acres of fields are available for the kids and dogs to go free range at too. Off site, the farm is near a flock of other Devon animal attractions: Pennywell Farm, Paignton Zoo and meeting the ponies of Dartmoor are within a quick drive. The Parker family have run the farm as a holiday park for over 60 years. Miss Piggy's bar and restaurant dishes up home-cooked and well-cooked meals (opening days and times vary throughout the year; see the terms and conditions), and has evening entertainment during the school holiday periods. (Dogs are welcome, too.) In the bar and restaurant, there is a soft play area for toddlers to let loose in, while older kids can play in the games room with video games and pool tables. Guests also have access to the stacks of clean and up-to-date facilities: two tiled shower blocks with free hot showers, two big family rooms, well-equipped disabled facilities and a large area for washing up and prepping vegetables. Other amenities include a shop, a launderette, free ironing facilities, an information area and an ice pack service. There's also an on-site breakfast catering van to tend to hungry tummies every morning during the high season (and only at weekends during the low season).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re pleased to hear that you found our site clean.
We do, however, feel it is important to clarify a few points. We can see that you stayed with us for just one night, on Bank Holiday Sunday, when the park was completely full. As stated in our Terms & Conditions, and also highlighted in our welcome email, WiFi can be less reliable during particularly busy periods. Our WiFi is provided completely free of charge, whereas many other holiday parks charge an additional fee for this service.
With regards to the comments about noisy dogs in the bar, I personally worked in the bar on Sunday evening and can confirm that no complaints were raised with me at the time, nor did I hear any excessive noise from dogs while I was working. Had we been made aware of any concerns during your stay, we would always have been happy to look into them and do what we could to assist.

Great park to stay with family…

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The camp offered additional activities at no cost like the farm tractor ride and doing a farm walk/feed. The owner ,who was a farmer , lead the tra tor ride and was very friendly. They put on bingo too!
Restaurant was good and the children loved the animals , play parks and facilities.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us. 😊
It’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed our free activities, including the farm tractor ride and farm walk and feed. We’re especially pleased that you found the tractor ride enjoyable and that you had the chance to meet one of our farming team.
We’re also glad the children had a great time meeting the animals and enjoying our play parks and facilities, and that you enjoyed the bingo and restaurant too!
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you and your family back to the farm again soon! 🐄🚜

Local attractions

You might be all of a dither trying to decide which Devon attraction to visit first, as coast, country, active options and peaceful pursuits are all near Parkers Farm, whether you prefer off the beaten track or more famed areas like Dartmoor National Park. Beaches first? Your pitch is a paltry 12 miles from the Devon coastline and the seaside towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. If you’d like to cram as much activity as possible into one area, Dartmoor National Park's your spot: start off with horse riding or pony trekking from one of the several stables (the park has different areas marked off for different levels of rider). More urban(e)ly, Exeter, Newton Abbot and Ashburton are close to hand too if you fancy some shopping, a dip in Ashburton’s heated outdoor pool or a small flutter at Exeter Racecourse on the Haldon Hills.
