  • Family-run park in a rural Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • Near Dartmoor and less than 10 miles from the south Devon coast
  • Communal fridges and hot showers; campfires allowed
Near Dartmoor National Park but less than ten miles from the famed sands of the south Devon coast lies Holsome Park Camping, family run by Louise and Graham and set in the Devon countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You might want to pitch up and hang out here for some time because of the smashing sunsets and the far ranging views right over to Dartmoor, but if/when you do fancy some county investigating, the A38 is only 10 minutes away – how wholesomely handy. Holsome Park is a popular place for its quiet but family-friendly atmosphere and its pitches where guests can fire up campfires underneath those Devon sunsets. Toilets, hot showers and washing-up facilities are available. Holsome Park also has two communal fridges and a power point for phone recharging; fresh eggs and meat are often available to buy.

What customers say

This family-run farm campsite offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views, particularly of Dartmoor. Visitors consistently praise the immaculate, clean, and well-maintained toilet and shower facilities, with some noting new additions and a family bathroom option. Hosts are frequently described as warm, friendly, and helpful. The site provides ample space, which is appreciated even during peak times, and thoughtful extras like fridge/freezer space and animal feeding sessions are popular. While some suggest minor improvements to shower cubicles, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many planning return visits. The remote location and narrow access roads are noted, as is the occasional issue with noisy neighbours, though this is not attributed to the site owners.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Nice campsite in a great location, with mostly flat pitches and the possibility of enjoying beautiful sunsets. The toilets and showers were exceptionally clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The campsite is a good size and, most importantly, didn’t feel overcrowded.

Disliked We booked a non-electric pitch hoping to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Unfortunately, all three sides of the field with sunset views were reserved for electric pitches, while the only non-electric pitches faced a very high hedge that completely blocked the view. We could have pitched in the middle of the field, but it was too windy there.

There was also no shop open on site. We were told we could call the lady if we needed anything, but it felt a little awkward to call her for small purchases.

The campsite is also quite a long drive from anywhere, and the roads leading to it are VERY narrow, which can make getting there a bit challenging.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Super peaceful. Amazing elevated views. Large pitches. Very clean and spacious shower block. Friendly owners who were welcoming. Choice of pitches on arrival. If you want no frills and open space with the luxury of electric and a proper shower block, this is the site for you. Great for star gazing too. Sunset was lovely over Haytor. Put your phone down and enjoy! Great for teaching the kids about the good old days of riding a bike, picking blackberries, walking across the fields, finding insects, or flying a kite. The tour of the farm and animal feeding was special for our 2 year old. Simple but lovely

Disliked nothing

Local attractions

It's a 10-mile drive down some narrow Devon lanes to get to the coast from Holsome Park Camping, but you'll surely you'll find that worth it when you arrive: miles of award-wining sands and cracking coastal hikes are around the closest beaches of Bigbury, Bantham, South Sands, Blackpool Sands, East Soar Cove, and Slapton, along with trad old pubs, cream tea cafés, restaurants and seaside fish and chips. This is of course hiking land, whether you want to wander over moors at Dartmoor, stride the five miles from Dartington to Totnes or take the nearest stretch of the South West Coast Path (the 13-mile run from Bigbury to Salcombe is all in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and said to be one of the most spectacular of all the path's 630 miles). Steam along on the South Devon Railway, the longest established steam railway in the south west, for a less strenuous sightsee for over six and a half miles from Totnes to Buckfastleigh, mostly along the River Dart. Anglers can cast off for carp in the area around Holsome, while Pennywell Farm, Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, Dartmoor Zoological Park and Totnes Rare Breeds Farm should occupy all ages enthusiastic about animals.
