  • Small family-run site on a smallholding in Dartmoor National Park
  • Close to River Teign and Two Moors Way; 25 minutes' drive to Exeter
  • Simple pitches with well-kept facilities, plus play area and hammocks
Three Hares Campsite is a small family-run site in the Dartmoor National Park, part of a 25-acre smallholding run by friendly Chinnie and Henry. Simple, secluded and scenic – that’s the style of this little Devon site full of wildflowers and trees and bordering a little stream. It’s got hammocks set up in the willow trees and a small play area with a tree swing for the kids, and welcomes barbecues and campfires (as long as they’re kept off the ground). There’s also fab farm shop five minutes' drive away for top-notch sausages and local veg to grill. There’s much to do in the surrounding area, whether you’re planning hikes on the Two Moors Way, bike rides on the Wray Valley Trail or Granite Way, kayaking, swimming and climbing around the River Teign or simply sampling all the Devon cream teas you can possibly manage. Exeter’s about a 25-minute drive away for a city fix, and you can get to beach days within about 40 minutes. This is a simple and eco-friendly site but all the necessary facilities are in place: guests have access to fresh water, hot (and strong) showers, flushing toilets, a chemical waste point and a lovely timber-framed washing-up area. Sorry, but no dogs are allowed on site as it has sheep for neighbours.

What customers say

A chill, family-friendly spot with cruisy vibes. Guests love the spotless facilities, legends for owners & nature with a creek & play zone. Campfire nights & hammocks are a winner. Mobile signal's a shocker. Showers can be a bit toasty, but they're sorting it. Can hear the road sometimes.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Beautiful place and beautiful family running the campsite.

The setting itself encourages you to embrace and enjoy nature.

The facilities are clean and provide you with all you need to cook and attend to hygiene.

The owners are friendly and welcoming - making the effort to introduce themselves to new arrivals once settled in.

Lovely walks, wild swimming and pubs fairly nearby.


We ended up staying an unplanned extra night because we were enjoying the camping experience.

Would absolutely recommend to others and will be returning.

Memories made ( :

Thank you both.

Liked First time camping and this campsite was magical. Such a beautiful little gem where kids can be kids, playing in the hammocks and swings and making friends with other campers.
Chinny and Henry were very welcoming and came to see everyone daily. Definitely recommend this little camping site.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked We stayed here for four nights and it was our second visit, the first being back in 2023. It's a lovely site and genuinely kid friendly, which makes a real difference travelling with children. The evenings when you're able to have a fire are a highlight and exactly the sort of thing that makes a trip memorable for the whole family.

Worth knowing there's barely any mobile signal, so come prepared. We brought Starlink and were completely sorted, but it's something to plan for if you rely on staying connected for work or anything else. Don't count on getting a signal from your usual network.

The host family are as lovely as ever, welcoming and easy going, and a big part of why we keep coming back. Two visits in and we've had a great time both times. We'll definitely be back in the future.
