  • Simple pitches at a laidback farm site in Dartmoor National Park
  • Castle Drogo and Moretonhampstead Motor Museum within 15 mins' drive
  • Dog-friendly site 15 minutes' walk from Chagford's pubs and shops
Fancy going camping on Dartmoor, but also keen to be within easy reach of town facilities? Aller Park Farm is the place you need – this peaceful site is surrounded by the stunning scenery of the national park, and yet it’s only a 15-minute walk from the pubs, cafés and shops of Chagford. It’s worth doing a good stock-up at the farm shop and deli in this Devon market town, as there’s plenty of space for a picnic back on site, and barbecues are permitted if you'd like to do some alfresco cookery. In fact, the whole vibe here is pretty laidback, with plenty of space for kids to run around and play games, groups and dogs allowed and a firepit area for evenings by the campfire. Working on the principle that sometimes simple is best, facilities here have been kept to just the essentials: guests have access to a compost toilet, a washing-up area and picnic tables. Staying in Dartmoor National Park of course means great access to outdoor activities – there are plenty of walking and bike trails around, plus games of golf to play, gardens to explore, wildlife to spot and historic sights to visit.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, back-to-basics campsite with beautiful views, popular with families and dog owners. Guests appreciate the spacious field, clean composting toilet, and hot shower. It's a short, scenic walk to the amenities and pubs of Chagford. Some visitors found the site tricky to locate and the entrance awkward for larger vehicles. While generally praised for its quiet atmosphere and value, a few reviews mention limited facilities (one toilet/shower) and occasional issues with toilet roll or water supply. Manager comments indicate ongoing site development and a willingness to address concerns.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Liked the simplicity of the site and arrangement into small field areas which reduced crowding.
The owner is obviously developing the site, which feels 'looked after'.

Disliked A second toilet would be an enormous benefit and the separation of the single water source to differentiate handwashing and drinking water.

Disappointing with the potential to be much better. Nice location

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent location with dark skies and just the right distance for a pleasant walk into Chagford, toilet and shower were reasonably clean

Disliked Arrived to a field with livestock faeces everywhere. No toilet roll in the toilet for the first two days I was there, with no evidence of any upkeep during that time. Information on shower asks to keep the gas at the lowest setting, which meant the water was barely warmed.

With the field cleaned up before the camping season, a warmer shower and toilets with toilet roll and hand sanitizer, I'd have been happy enough to pay £10-12 per night, fine with £15 especially given the nice location. I paid £20 per night for 1 person in a tent when I think the main advantage I had beyond pitching up on Meldon Tor for free just down the road was the fact I could leave my tent in situ during the day. I really don't think it's too much more effort to create a decent campsite, but sadly it feels like the proprietors want the money from running a campsite without the effort.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Wir waren 4 Tage auf dem Platz und haben die ruhige Lage mitten im Farmland genossen; Platz bietet Entspannung pur; gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im 1,7km entfernten Chagford; gute Wandermöglichkeiten in der Nähe.

Disliked Nur eine Toilette und eine Dusche ist für die Größe des Platzes zu wenig.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very peaceful and quiet pitches, laid back and easy. Good value for money and a great camping experience with a lovely surrounding area with lots to do

Disliked No toilet roll every now and then and only one water tap with a trough below full of mucky water making it unappealing. But simpler amenities made it feel more simple and peaceful whilst being practical

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Very nice meadow with a nice view of the hills. The good shower was an added value!

Disliked A little harder to find and the road is very narrow. No problem for us, but it is a point of attention for travelers with campervans.

Local attractions

Take a wander around Chagford (15 minutes’ walk) first, looking out for the attractive church, the octagonal market house (fondly known as the Pepperpot) and checking out the independent shops and galleries. If you need a cool-off on a hot day, head a little way out of town for a dip in the outdoor pool. For a dip into the past, plan walks around places like Scorhill Stone Circle or Fernworthy (both 15 minutes’ drive), where you can do a circuit of the reservoir and then head to the stone circle. Castle Drogo (15 minutes) is another great option – built in the 20th century by Edward Lutyens, it’s become known as ‘the last castle in England’. The gardens here are gorgeous, and you can access trails into the Teign Gorge too. Moretonhampstead Motor Museum (10 minutes) is a nice place to visit nearby, or you can head further into Dartmoor for things like the Dartmoor Prison Museum (25 minutes) or walks in Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park (20 minutes).
