Small, peaceful site two miles from Okehampton
Coarse fishing lake and enclosed dog walking area on site
Shower and toilet block with underfloor heating and accessible area

Make your way to Appledore Park, two miles from Okehampton near the north Devon coast. With 4,500 recently planted trees and hedges (so far), spankingly clean facilities and so many little extra touches, ‘awesome’, ‘top notch’ and ‘knocked our socks off’ are just a few of the accolades Appledore has received from grateful guests. There are nine acres of site land at award-winning Appledore, all with sweet views of the Devon countryside and the park’s surrounding farmland, and landscaped to hold spacious pitches. Dogs are welcome, and handily, there is an enclosed dog walk through the trees or a large field to let them run in. The site's only five minutes' drive away from the A30 road to Cornwall, so it has easy access to the moors and as well as Cornwall, north Devon's beaches. If you’re arriving late, there’s a special late arrivals area with hook-up and water so you can get settled quickly (cuppa). To this smart idea, there is wifi throughout, a washing-up and veg prep area, and a room with charging points and info on the surrounding area. The amenities block has underfloor heating, private cubicles and an accessible area for disabled guests – and are so well maintained they've won a Loo of the Year award. Finally, fancy some fishing? Appledore Park has its own coarse fishing lake for guests and you can also cast off from the quay at Appledore village, take a boat out to the sea (the coast is around 30 miles from the site) or try your luck landing salmon or trout on the River Torridge.

Liked: This site was in a beautiful location, very tidy and quiet with spacious pitches and facilities. I liked the tourist information room with leaflets, and also the books and games to borrow. We only stayed one night, but would be happy to stay again for longer.

Electric hardstanding pitch

Liked: It is a well laid out site with good sized fully serviced pitches. Showers and toilets clean tidy and heated. Washing machine available. Massive field fairly secure for letting the dogs have a run.

Disliked: We thought it was walking distance to 2 large public woods, but the roads were too dangerous to walk on. We could not get our own internet and had to pay to access the site internet, £6.99 for 3 days. The booking form on pitchup said one car included, and extra car £5, so we assumed a motorhome used as habitation and my car for day trips was inclusive. We were told on site it was £10 a car, and mine was not included because we had a motorhome instead of a caravan which seemed a bit illogical. To be fair I was not asked to pay the difference. Having now looked at their own booking website it appears to be £15 for a car per visit which would make a 1 night stopover expensive.

Local attractions

Start off at Okehampton to see the ruins of 11th-century Okehampton Castle and explore the industrial past of Dartmoor at Finch Foundry, England’s last working water-powered forge. The Museum of Dartmoor Life, an 18th-century mill with info on the moors throughout the ages and a reconstructed Bronze Age fort and Victorian kitchen, is at the town’s West Street. Nearby Castle Drogo, ‘the last to be built in England’, is now a Grade I-listed building looked after by the National Trust, with the Trust’s highest garden, rose gardens and paths snaking below into the gorge of the Teign valley. ‘Perhaps the most famous walk in Dartmoor’ (so says the NT) is the circular walk from Castle Drogo, above the Teign and along Hunters Path to cross the river. The nearest sands are Bude and Widemouth Bay about 45 minutes’ drive away.
