Campground

  • Peaceful, dog-friendly site in Dartmoor National Park
  • Walking distance from reservoirs; a 25-minute drive to Fingle Bridge
  • Ex-army mess tent for dining and relaxing; natural firepit area
Wild swimming, cycling, hiking or horse riding down lush Devon lanes… the wild and windswept Dartmoor National Park is where you’ll find Beech Tree Farm. At this peaceful site you’ll all have the run of a flat farm meadow with an adjoining copse of mature trees. There's plenty of space to go around too, and it's all centred around a natural firepit area and a large vintage army mess tent space for chilling out and cooking. The other facilities on site have a nice touch too – and that includes a railway carriage conversion with two loos, two hot water showers rooms, a mobile phone charging point and running water for dishwashing, drinking and cooking. Very well-behaved dogs are welcome (the usual doggy rules apply and bins are provided), as are children (there’s a huge area for them to run around). There is livestock on the farm, so guests are asked to be mindful (stag or hen parties are not permitted for this reason). The way here is quite hidden and you’ll pass Blackingstone Tor on your way. But you won’t be too far away from Moretonhampstead (10 minutes’ drive), where there are all the usual amenities including pubs, restaurants, cafés and takeaways, plus a supermarket, butcher, greengrocer and zero shop, all with locally-sourced food.

What customers say

This quiet, roomy campsite's in a gorgeous rural spot. Guests love the chill vibes & great views. Toilets/showers are always spotless. The communal 'mess tent' is a lifesaver in bad weather. A few things are a short drive, but it's a super relaxing break with top hosts. Showers are now reliably hot.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked The toilets facilities, the washing up facilities - amazing!, the fact there was even a telephone charging point, the fact there was a big tent which could be used as a shelter for cooking in case of bad weather, too much rain or strong wind, the fact there was light in the toilets and showers. It was all very nicely and thoughtfully and aesthetically done! There were even recycling bins! We also loved the field with the trees and the high grasses, and the big granite stones - although we didn't pitch up our tent there! The campsite owner was extremely friendly and helpful. We came at the end of summer season and it was very peaceful and spacious!

Disliked only tiny little disadvantage - there was no hot water whatsoever for washing up (although of course we know this is wild camping, after all!), and that one of the showers would stop running the moment you pressed the push button. But hey, there were showers after all! In general, it was amazing!

Liked Toilets and showers were super clean and well taken care of, and very nicely set up, alongside the washing up sink.
The mess tent was very helpful. It didn’t rain while we were staying, but the first day was very windy and it was a great place to sit and eat and keep out of the wind. The field is very large and easy to camp away from other campers and not hear anyone walking up early!
