  • Scenic adults-only dog-friendly site in Dartmoor National Park
  • Haven for hikers and bikers, 20 minutes from Exeter city centre
  • On-site shop, information centre and secure off-lead dog area
Escape from messy desks, busy inboxes and fume-filled commutes with a peaceful fresh-air stay among grownups only at Barley Meadow Touring Park, a dog-friendly site under five minutes’ drive from the Devon village of Crockernwell. As it's in Dartmoor National Park, this is a top spot for hikers and bikers with a yen for exploring far-off places: the 117-mile Two Moors Way (which stretches from Ivybridge to Lynmouth) passes 10 minutes’ walk from the site, and National Cycle Route 27 and the Granite Way walking trail can be joined 15 minutes’ drive away in Okehampton. Closer to home, you can stroll next door to the farm shop to select goodies for your dinner. There’s plenty more to investigate around splendid Dartmoor, but of course… but not before kicking back for a bit on site… Stock up on snacks in the on-site shop (open subject to demand) while letting canine chums run off-leash in the dog area, or plan outings and pick up ideas for local walks, activities and visits in the little information centre. All sound a bit too rural? Never fear, as the site’s central and easy to reach: it’s just off the A30, and there’s a bus stop right outside the site entrance for trips to Exeter and Bude. Eco-friendly drivers can charge their electric vehicles using the EV point on site too.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Beautifully maintained, peaceful little campsite. Clean showers and toilets, a games room with a pool table, a few books and board games as well as a charging point for phones etc in a lockable safe. The friendly reception has a small shop stocking everything you could possibly have forgotten when camping. The site was quite full when we stayed, but it is so well layed out everyone gets a nice private spot. There are anpr barriers which gave extra peace of mind too. Highly recommend for adults wanting a quiet, relaxed break in a beautiful location.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Facilities were lovely and staff great.

Disliked Where we were pitched in the middle.
Everyone walked right next to us to get to the toilet block. Very little privacy so need windbreaks etc to mark some territory.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. With regards to a path way, sadly people will always take the quickest route even if it means passing some ones pitch. We are sorry that this spoilt your stay with us however we are disappointed that you didn't come and speak to us where we could have looked for a different pitch for you. Instead you decided to just leave us a review. Best wishes from Leigh and David.

We have no hesitation in recommending Barley Meadow to other campers.

ian k. 3 reviews

Electric optional hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Well kept site with very clean facilities and very helpful owners. Well located for exploring the area. Appreciated the absence of children and the discerning nature of the other campers.

Disliked The occasional loud traffic noise from the adjacent road. Occasionally there was a bit of a queue for the toilets and showers at popular times or when the site was full.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks Ian for taking the time to leave us a kind review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. With regards to the road, this gives our guest very easy access to the site. We are also in the countryside so we do have lots of farmers working hard who pass by in big tractors. We can also be the diversion for the A30 and during your stay was the week most of the schools broke up. This caused the A30 to be very busy and sadly a few accidents. Best wishes from Leigh and David.

Lovely & clean & very well…

Local attractions

Devoting a few days to rambling explores of Dartmoor National Park is a must hereabouts, with plenty of stunningly scenic spots to include in itineraries. Start with the nearby Teign Valley and the can’t-miss Lydford Gorge (the deepest gorge in south-west England) – don’t forget a camera to snap some shots of the spectacular White Lady waterfall and the Devil’s Cauldron whirlpool. There are more ways to explore Dartmoor National Park than on foot or by bike too: adrenaline junkies can try out whitewater kayaking or canoeing along the River Dart, or head into Okehampton to sign up for scrambling through gorges. History buffs are well served around these parts too: jaunts into Exeter come with possible pitstops at the city’s famed cathedral, medieval guildhall and Tudor-built House that Moved (that one deserves a quick internet search), while rural travels lead to stately manors including Powderham Castle, Castle Drogo, Killerton House, and Buckland and Buckfast abbeys, all within an hour's drive. Poke around England’s last working water-powered forge at Finch Foundry and visit the Museum of Dartmoor Life near Okehampton, or step back into the present day with some kid-friendly fun at Crealy Adventure Park or Diggerland Devon, both around half an hour from the site.
