Glebe Camping

Spectacular Dartmoor views from glamping tents on a Devon hilltop
Edging Dartmoor National Park and a 40-minute drive from Torbay beach
Walking and tennis from the site; riding, golf, pubs and shops nearby

Glebe Camping is located on a Devon hilltop with spectacular views across Dartmoor. This secluded camping field is a fab base for active families and walkers (not forgetting their canine pals), with many a good hike from the site, a public tennis court in the next field, and a golf course 15 minutes’ drive away. You won’t have a problem amusing the kids either; they can climb aboard a mini-train to chug around Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, or scare themselves on the thrill rides at Crealy Theme Park and Resort (both 40 minutes). Of course the south-coast beaches around Torbay and Paignton are less than 45 minutes away, for good, clean fun swimming in the sea and all sorts of watersports. And pony-mad youngsters, guess what – there’s a riding school within 20 minutes, from where you can trek up onto the moors. Speaking of Dartmoor – the National Park Visitor Centre, where you can get all sorts of info on where to walk and what to see in the park, is in Postbridge (30 minutes), where you can also see an ancient clapper bridge across the East Dart river. It’s easy to keep everyone fed and watered too; you can barbecue on site – there’s a handy store for picking up basics in Ilsington (five minutes) and bigger supermarkets in Newton Abbot (20 minutes), or you can let someone else do the work and head out to the local pubs and restaurants.
