  • Family-run Devon site just off the main road two miles from Dartmouth
  • Blackpool Sands and Woodlands Family Theme Park within 10 mins' drive
  • Spacious dog-friendly pitches; bus stop just outside
Coast walks, beach days, outdoor adventures, family days out… whatever it is that brings you to this part of Devon, you’ll have a great base at Dartmouth Caravan Park. This family-friendly site (which also welcomes your family dogs) is part of a farm that’s surrounded by the stunning south Devon countryside and easily accessed from the main road to Dartmouth. The harbour town’s shops, activities, attractions and places to eat are a couple of miles away, and there’s a handy bus stop just outside the site for easy trips to town via public transport. Dartmouth itself has plenty of things to keep you busy, especially if you take a ferry across the river to explore all the things on the Kingswear side as well. It’s far from the only option for a day out though – in fact, this area is pretty packed with things to do, with huge sandy beaches, a theme park, a zoo and the huge expanse of Dartmoor National Park all within a half-hour drive. And that’s before you’ve even planned trips to nearby towns like Totnes and Salcombe or the fishing village of Brixham. That’s a lot to fit in, so it’s good to know that Dartmouth Caravan Park is comfortable enough to settle in for several days, with spacious pitches that have access to wifi and a dog park as well as a clean modern bathroom block with accessible facilities.

What customers say

This top-notch campsite's super clean & well-kept. Modern showers with hairdryers are a hit. Generous pitches, often with views & picnic tables. Great for Dartmouth trips via bus. Owner's friendly. Sunday bus service can be infrequent; Wi-Fi spotty at times.

John L.

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked Great new site with amazing views from the pitch,the shower/toilet facilities are probably the best we have seen on our travels.Only 2miles from Dartmouth with a bus stop right outside so very convenient as there are no pavements so walking is not an option.We also had a good tv signal onsite and good free Wi-Fi,we will definitely will be returning.

Disliked Nothing to dislike but the showers could do with a small wall rack for shower gel and maybe a bit longer time on shower so not having to keep pressing the button. But not a big deal just an observation.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Not the cheapest around but made up by the excellent facilities, and location near to supermarket shopping and Dartmouth town.
Modern 5* facility block with underfloor heating and air conditioning (a real treat) a mix of pitch types (majority fully serviced), pet friendly with separate exercise field, all with wonderful views over the rolling Devon countryside.
Family run and on hand with a welcoming friendly disposition to answer visitors questions, as to where’s the nearest……
Booked for three nights and stayed for ten!!!

Disliked We had to leave, but will be back!

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked Everything. Spotlessly clean facilities that look like they were installed yesterday. Everything was immaculate. Perfectly placed to explore Dartmouth by jumping on the 92 bus which you can catch in the entrance to Norton Park, just outside. This should be the benchmark for all sites. Thank you.

Disliked Having to leave.
