  • Large adults-only park next to Chudleigh Knighton Nature Reserve
  • About 5 minutes' drive from Chudleigh Knighton and Bovey Tracey
  • Walking paths from the site; 10 minutes' drive from Dartmoor
Whether you've decided that your next trip is going to be all about sitting yourself down in stunning surrounds or strolling through them, have either – or both – at the adults-only Oakmoor Touring Park. This quiet and peaceful place set up by a couple of keen campers is in three acres of Devon countryside next to a wooded section of a Wildlife Trust nature reserve. Walks can start off from the site towards the nearby village of Chudleigh Knighton (a 20-minute stroll) and lead through Chudleigh Knighton Heath’s gorse, heather and grassland on the Ant Trail, taking around an hour all in all. To roam further, go forth towards Bovey Heathfield and Little Bradley Ponds nature reserves from the heath on a four and a half-mile hike in lush Devon countryside; the park's also about a five-minute drive from Bovey Tracey, the gateway to Dartmoor National Park, if an especially lengthy amble around the tors is what you're after. And if it’s mainly lazing you're after, resting comes into play on the flat pitches with fresh air and views of grassy meadows all around. You can lie back and rest while waiting for wildlife to appear: the owners have spotted species including deer, wild ducks and rabbits at this pretty park. Of course, it can’t all just be relaxing or rambling… when practicalities need organising, an essentials store is on site and a shop and pub are in Chudleigh Knighton. The park also has spacious showers, a washing-up area and baby changing facilities.

Robert B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Everything, with no exaggeration, exceeded my expectations, and I’d already read the reviews. Debbie and Allan made me feel welcome as soon as I arrived, explained where my pitch was and said if I didn’t like it I could move. But it was perfect. The pitches are large, totally level, and easy to park in. I was hooked up in minutes and settled in. Friday night the local farmer was putting on a barbecue for the site so I treated myself to a ribeye steak with sautéed potatoes! A great start to my break.

You have plenty of space - easily get a van, tent/awning and car in if you want. The whole site feels open, and not at all cramped like many places. Campers with dogs are welcome but they must be kept in a lead at all times. Everyone was respectful of each other for noise and keeping places clean and tidy.

The toilets and showers are immaculately clean, tidy and well lit. The water is hot and the shower rooms have a handy seat as well as hooks on the doors. It’s no wonder they’ve won several awards for the quality of their facilities.

Water points at all four corners of the site, and a dedicated washing up room with hot water and 3 sinks, plus a freezer for ice blocks

The site is in a bat conservation area so vans have to be dark at night - no rowdy parties at this place! Just what I needed to wind down from work - peaceful, no hassle, lovely atmosphere and a friendly knowledgeable couple keeping everything running smoothly.

This was my first trip in my campervan and it was perfect. I’ll be back and cannot recommend Oakmoor enough

Disliked: That I had to come home, and prepare for work!

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: Lovely couple running it and very friendly and helpful. Toilet/showers were spotless and loved the local butcher coming on site cooking a bbq, we had the steak and it was delicious. We have two dogs and they were chilled and enjoyed it. Plus loved the quiet site. Added bonus pub within walking distance with was a little gem.

Disliked: That it isn’t closer to where we live!

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: The site was immaculate, peaceful and spacious. The hosts were so friendly which made a huge difference to our stay. Great little shower block and large pitches. Such a great location and we were lucky with the weather. Sadly we only stayed the one night but there is nothing to dislike about this rural site and we will definitely be back. Loved the fact it was adults only which added to the tranquil atmosphere.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Lovely people and a well kept site. Immaculately kept facilities. Lawns kept nice and short and tidy with grass picked up. Short 20 minute walk through woods and nature reserve to local village pub. Bus stop in village to local towns. Peaceful adult only site, nice for a quiet break. This was a return visit and will certainly book again soon.

Local attractions

It really is all about the rambles from this site… the traditional Devonshire village of Hennock, sitting 800 feet above the Teign valley, is under 10 minutes’ drive for treks around the Trenchford, Tottiford and Kennick reservoirs (plus plenty of pubs) while Stover Park’s 114 acres of woodland, heathland, grassland, lake and marsh is five minutes south next to a golf course. The traffic-free Stover Trail passes through here and links the historic town of Bovey Tracey with Newton Abbot; if you’re riding a bike, stop off at the cycle-friendly café in the former, which has indoor parking (about a 20-minute journey on two wheels). Also near this spot is the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery if you’re curious about checking out what Devonshire-made booze tastes like. For long journeys on foot or the saddle, The Templar Way starts off at Teigngrace (10 minutes’ drive), coming close to Oakmoor Touring Park and stretching on for around 18 miles towards rocky Hay Tor on Dartmoor.
