General

  • Well-maintained and popular park two miles from Okehampton
  • Coarse fishing lake and enclosed dog walking area on site
  • Shower and toilet block with underfloor heating and accessible area

Green, green and more green – that’s the backdrop you can expect for a stay at Appledore Park, an award-winning site surrounded by gorgeous Devon countryside about two miles from Okehampton. (And it’s not just awards it’s won but also heaps of great reviews…‘awesome’, ‘top notch’ and ‘knocked our socks off’ are just a few of the accolades Appledore has received from grateful guests.)

Owners Paul and Lisa have eight acres of land at this popular park, all with sweet views of the surrounding farmland, and landscaped to hold spacious pitches. Dogs are very welcome to join you here, and a dedicated enclosed dog walking area has been set aside for them to scamper around (plus a dog washing area for when they inevitably get a bit mucky).

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 the team have added free wifi throughout, a dishwashing 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.

    Disliked: 

    No one there to guide us to our pitch and no arrival envelope as we lead to believe. The owners were not there and another person staying at appledore told us where to pitch. No answer on phone listed in email in fact it appeared to be unable to take calls. No one came to see us and ask if we were ok The flies were everywhere intact 2 days later we are still finding them in our windows not a good stay. It was quiet and close to okehampton but not the quality of site I was given to believe from reviews luckily we were only there for one night toilets and showers were very clean

Directions


Appledore Park is two miles east of Okehampton on the B3125. Satnav systems may guide you through lanes unsuitable for caravans, so follow these directions for the best towing route.

Exit the A30, signposted Okehampton, B3260. Head in the direction of Okehampton. At the traffic lights by the police station take the right-hand lane signposted Hospital, then turn right. At the mini roundabout take the second exit, onto the B3215 to North Tawton & Crediton. Continue on this road. The site is after about two miles on the left, opposite a layby.

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.
