  • Small family-run site on a smallholding in Dartmoor National Park
  • Close to River Teign and Two Moors Way; 25 minutes' drive to Exeter
  • Simple pitches with well-kept facilities, plus play area and hammocks
Three Hares Campsite is a small family-run site in the Dartmoor National Park, part of a 25-acre smallholding run by friendly Chinnie and Henry. Simple, secluded and scenic – that’s the style of this little Devon site full of wildflowers and trees and bordering a little stream. It’s got hammocks set up in the willow trees and a small play area with a tree swing for the kids, and welcomes barbecues and campfires (as long as they’re kept off the ground). There’s also fab farm shop five minutes' drive away for top-notch sausages and local veg to grill. There’s much to do in the surrounding area, whether you’re planning hikes on the Two Moors Way, bike rides on the Wray Valley Trail or Granite Way, kayaking, swimming and climbing around the River Teign or simply sampling all the Devon cream teas you can possibly manage. Exeter’s about a 25-minute drive away for a city fix, and you can get to beach days within about 40 minutes. This is a simple and eco-friendly site but all the necessary facilities are in place: guests have access to fresh water, hot (and strong) showers, flushing toilets, a chemical waste point and a lovely timber-framed washing-up area. Sorry, but no dogs are allowed on site as it has sheep for neighbours.

What customers say

This is a small, quiet, and peaceful campsite with clean and well-maintained facilities. Visitors appreciate the friendly hosts, lovely natural surroundings, and the option to hire fire pits. It's considered good value and a great base for exploring Dartmoor and local attractions like Fingle Bridge. Some minor issues mentioned include occasionally very hot showers and distant road noise.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent all round facility. Spotlessly clean, quite and peaceful, just what I needed after swimming 3k in three different Lido's over a 260 mile drive, with a 3.00am start. I was even lucky enough to hear a couple of Tawny owls calling out to each other, hadn't heard one for several years.

Disliked Nothing.

Alex v. 1 review

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The pitches are perfect, small and cosy campsite, but more than enough space for a tent and campervan. The welcome committee is friendly and informative. Bathrooms and toilets are clean and well equiped.

Disliked The only dislike, albeit a very minor one, is the warm water in the shower did not initiate. For that a faucet in one of the sinks must be switched on briefly, after that warm water in the shower is functioning.
