  • 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.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: We had a lovely 2 night stay for a weekend break and loved it. The owners are very helpful and welcoming. This site suited us perfectly we loved the natural, rustic feel which matches the area as it is next to a nature reserve and heathland. Great stroll through the wood to the pub. So lots of walks from the site, great if you have a dog like us. No outside fairy lights etc allowed, as it is a bat conservation area, therfore dark at night which allowed us to see the sky full of bright stars. We felt very comfortable there, very peaceful which is what we wanted. The toilet and showers are spotless and also the washing up area. We will be back next spring when they reopen and look forward to it.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: A very clean and well cared for site. Surrounded by trees and close to Chudleigh Knighton Heath it was a delightful site for a quick escape. I was only there for two nights but had the opportunity to partake in a Mobile barbecue van and a mobile coffee van. For a small site, it delivers a lot.

Disliked: Nope. I can’t fault my stay or the site.

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.
