Dartmoor’s Edge Campsite

Visitor image of the view of the campsite

Peaceful dog-friendly site just outside Dartmoor National Park
A five-minute drive from The Granite Way; 10 minutes to Lydford Gorge
Firepits permitted; small food shop on site for essentials; pub nearby

Dallying on down to Dartmoor National Park for a dandy cycling or walking break? Perhaps for adrenaline-pumping activities or a dive down into some historical siites? Dartmoor’s Edge Campsite might be just the place, as this family-friendly farm site is just outside the national park in Bridestow, five minutes’ drive away from The Granite Way and 10 minutes from Lydford Gorge. Dogs are welcome at this pop-up place at a small extra cost, as long as they’re kept on a lead at all times – it is a working farm, after all. Firepits also have the green light here, so you may want to take advantage of the site’s small food shop to gather together your essential bits for the grill. The facilities on this site are well-maintained. You’ll have access to drinking water to keep hydrated and the convenience of flushing toilets to make your stay comfortable. Of course, food will surely feature in your stay too. Handily, there’s a farm shop 10 minutes’ drive away in Lydford. There are a few pubs here too that might make for a nice pause before or after the waterfall walk around the gorge. Otherwise, those of you looking for somewhere slightly closer by, there’s a pub 40 minutes’ walk away from the site.
