Family site in Dartmoor National Park, seven miles from the coast
A couple of minutes' walk from a 16th-century pub
Teign valley views; shop; high-season weekend takeaway with breakfasts

'Feral children are welcome,' say the amicable owners of Hennock Hideaways near Devon's Bovey Tracey – and so this should be a site of happy days for their well-behaved grownups too. (Dogs that can behave around livestock are most welcome here as well.) While the kids are doing endless and happily tiring laps around the Hennock camping field, the big folk can get on with what's important in life, such as sparking up a campfire then cheerfully considering where to visit next on their Devon break: Hennock Hideaways is just inside Dartmoor National Park, about seven miles from the coast and less than 10 miles from Dawlish. Sitting back with a beer and submerging oneself in the Teign valley views might be a considerably clever option from here too… The site has basic facilities including four main toilets, two hot showers and a washing-up area (you're welcome to bring your own camping shower and toilet too). In high season, an on-site takeaway opens up on weekends only, selling fresh barista-style coffee and breakfasts. Take them back to your digs if you like, or settle at the outdoor seating for food with a view. Rather take a little walk? Pay a visit to the site's pygmy goats, which guests can feed. The family-friendly atmosphere, Devon ciders, real ales, wine and well-priced pub food of the local pub, a 16th-century freehouse, a two-minute walk away; cooked breakfasts are often available here too. On site, there's also a fully stocked 24-hour honesty shop that accepts card or cash payments. In the shop, there are limited lockers which can be used to charge phones or battery packs; they can be hired for 24 hours for a small fee. The site also has a communal fridge and freezer and a couple of electric points can be used to blow up air beds. (Hennock can't take tourers or large motorhomes because of its secluded location and narrow lanes; please also be careful with wide vehicles and sports cars when approaching the site.)

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Spacious, very tranquil when I stayed, lovely honesty shop, good clean showers and toilets. Would suit lots of different travellers.

Disliked: I guess the pitches aren't the most level as it's a rolling hill but it wasn't busy when I was there and not a problem.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: This site has everything you need at a great price. The view is stunning, It is friendly and the facilities, whilst basic are clean. There are not to many rules, just the basics to ensure everyone has a good holiday. The added bonus of a hearty cooked breakfast at the weekend and an easy walk to the village pub .

Disliked: The approach road is so narrow that I was discouraged from too much coming and going.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Definitely going back, absolutely brilliant campsite

Local attractions

Hennock Hideaways is only two miles from the A38 so has easy access to many Devon attractions inland and down towards the south coast (feel free to tackle the north Devon coast too: it's less than two hours away). Very close by, a local park is in Hennock village and three reservoirs are within a mile or two, one of which is a trout fly fishery. Pike fishing and boat hire are also available. Two miles away is Bovey Tracey with shops, a few more pubs, takeaways and a craft centre along with a pretty park with walks by the River Teign. And talking of walks... the letterboxing, hikes and tor-to-tor walks of Dartmoor are very close to base; small sorts heading here can also ride Dartmoor ponies. The south Devon coast of seaside town Teignmouth is about seven miles away: follow the coastal road from here to Torbay and then Brixham, where you can see the Hennock Hideaways' own fishing trawler the Katy Jane.
