Wild camping meadows with spectacular South Hams views in South Devon
Dartmoor National Park five minutes’ drive; Wonwell Beach 25 minutes
Hot showers; walks from the pitches; pubs and shops 10 minutes’ drive

Can’t decide between Devon moorland or the coast? There’s no need to make any such decisions when you stay at Cannamore Camping, a wild camping site five minutes’ drive from Dartmoor National Park and 25 minutes from the South Devon beaches on the River Erme estuary including Wonwell. On arrival on site, you’re free to pick your own camping spot, either in a wildflower meadow with wide-ranging views of the South Hams countryside or on the slightly more sheltered lower field. Wherever you pitch up, it will be in a peaceful setting surrounded only by the sounds and sights of nature. With lots of walks on grassy tracks straight from the pitches, you can exercise yourselves (and any accompanying canines, as this is a dog-friendly site), or venture out onto the moor for more robust yomps up to rocky tors or through deep gorges. The proximity to the national park makes this a handy overnight stop for long-distance cyclists and backpackers as well. And after time on the moor or messing around on the beach, you can return to your rural retreat safe in the knowledge that pristine hot showers await to wash away the exertions of the day. If you’re intending to spark up the barbecue, the nearest shop is at South Brent (10 minutes), where there are a few pubs and restaurants too.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Really great campsite. Roy, the owner, was so so helpful and found us a great sheltered pitch as we didn't choose the best weather to camp in. The toilets and shower were immaculately clean. Couldn't be a better campsite!

From the manager: Thanks for your review! Great to hear you had a sheltered spot for the October weather (Storm Babet?)! Hopefully you can visit again in sunny weather! Many thanks from the Cannamore Camping team.

Pitch was great with electric hook up for my campervan.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Lovely views Warm welcome Well spaced pitches Super clean toilets and showers Easy to get to

Disliked: Some small noise from the main road if the wind was coming from that way.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review! Glad you liked the campsite and facilities! Generally it is very peaceful at the campsite but the wind can carry sound quite a long way in the right circumstances. Many thanks from the Cannamore Camping Team.

Local attractions

Heading into Dartmoor National Park, look out for the wild ponies roaming its craggy landscape. Clamber up to the park’s signature granite tors like Combestone (half an hour’s drive), hike up to Whitelady Waterfall in Lydford Gorge (an hour), or follow trails to the Neolithic tombs at Merrivale Prehistoric Settlement (45 minutes), and the Bronze Age monument at Fernworthy Stone Circle (50 minutes). Cyclists have miles of bridleways and byways to pedal, including the Drake’s Trail through wooded valleys and open moorland. When days on the coast are calling, make for quiet Wonwell Beach (25 minutes) for picnics and dog walks, or Mothecombe (25 minutes) for rock pooling and paddling. Busier options include the popular sands at sailing-mad Salcombe (35 minutes), and sheltered Blackpool Sands (40 minutes, it’s shingle despite its name), which has a café and lifeguards in summer. As well as the seaside, other options for family days out include the petting zoo, kids’ rollercoasters and water rides at Woodlands Family Theme Park (25 minutes), and the pint-sized recreations of English landmarks and landscapes at Babbacombe Model Village (40 minutes).
