General
- Quiet wild campsite in the village of Widecombe in the Moor
- Five minutes' drive to Haytor Rocks; 15 minutes to Bovey Tracey
- Central Dartmoor location on the banks of the river Webburn
There are heaps of great walks and other outdoor activities around Dartmoor National Park, and setting up camp at a central spot like Widecombe Valley – Dartmoor Camping means it should be nice and easy to get out to as many of them as you like…
This is a very quiet little wild campsite tucked away just on the edge of the village of Widecombe in the Moor, about 25 minutes’ drive from Newton Abbot. There are lots of great footpaths to explore nearby, and it makes a handy stopover for folk backpacking or walking their way across the national park.
It’s a simple and laidback setup here, with composting toilets provided, dogs welcome and barbecues and campfires both permitted. There are no showers on site, but there’s something even better: at the end of a long day of walking, you can instead take a refreshing dip in the fresh water of the river Webburn, which flows past the site.
Look out from this Devon site and you’ll mainly see farmland and Dartmoor’s tors (which you’ll have easy access to from here), but it’s not entirely rural: you can walk to the village in about five minutes for a café, shop and pub.
Open from 28/07/2023 to 27/08/2023
