  • Peaceful Devon farmstead at the gateway to Dartmoor National Park
  • A 25-minute drive from Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh Island
  • Walks through the surrounding countryside direct from the site
A peaceful farm, right outside Dartmoor, and with spectacular views over the South Downs… you'll have done well bagging a break here. This little site is Dunwell Farm, set on a dairy, beef and sheep farm overlooking Dartmoor National Park, among south Devon countryside, and under 10 miles from the Devon seaside at both Mothecombe (20 minutes' drive) and Bigbury-on-Sea (25 minutes). There are stunning views from this quiet and rural spot, along with a friendly vibe, loads of green open space, and walks aplenty straight from the grounds. The site is five minutes' drive from the village of Ugborough and its two pubs and 10 minutes from the shops and supermarket of Modbury, as well as Wrangaton and a bike rental service. Those hankering after yet more hikes should traverse the four and a half miles to Ivybridge, for access to the many miles of Dartmoor as well as the scenic strolls of the 102-mile Two Moors Way. Amenities at Dunwell include a block with two showers, two toilets and a baby changing facility, alongside an indoor washing-up area and a small communal fridge. Groups are welcome. Friendly dogs are allowed too, but since Dunwell is a working farm, the site owners require them to be kept on leads at all times.

What customers say

This campsite gets high marks for its lovely, tidy grounds, calm vibe, and handy spot. Guests loved the super clean, modern washrooms with reliable hot water. The stunning views, especially of Dartmoor and sunsets, are a big plus. Added perks like a guest fridge, kettle, and dishwashing station were appreciated. Farm animals and a friendly dog add to the charm. Campers found it perfect and plan to come back.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked What a beautiful spot! It was a really well maintained space, and the facilities were super clean. Despite being in a convenient location not far off an A road, it was so peaceful and I couldn’t hear any traffic. It’s also the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the field. I got super lucky when staying and even got the whole place to myself! Spent the evening surrounded by butterflies, couldn’t have been happier. Will absolutely be back.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Absolutely perfect little campsite. Easy to find and lovely owners. Incredible views, and incredibly clean and well maintained showers and toilets.
I usually hate push button showers as the water push lasts 10 seconds, but not here, the push lasts a decent amount of time and lovely hot water. Good indoor and outdoor washing up spots with washing up liquid, and a guest fridge and kettle. You fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the cows and sheep. Perfect.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Beautiful views and quiet location. The small fridge in the kitchen area was a great plus during the hottest weekend in May. So was the shaded eating area.

The farm dog came and 'checked on us' both mornings which was sweet. Definitely want to stay there again.

Local attractions

Venture out on walks and bike rides through the surrounding countryside, direct from the site, or to the edge of Dartmoor National Park, around an hour from Dunwell Farm if you're hoofing it rather than driving. Beaches are within easy reach too, such as Mothecombe, 20 minutes' drive away – a long and sandy stretch that's generally peaceful even in high season as it's privately owned (it's open to the public on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays). Also meander along to Bigbury-on-Sea (25 minutes) for tractor boat rides out to Burgh Island, also accessible via a causeway at low tide, and Challaborough (also 25 minutes), a splendid spot for surfing. Also within 25 minutes, see big cats at feeding time at Dartmoor Zoological Park, or zip along to the Plymouth Ski and Snowboard Centre for skiing and snowboarding on the longest artificial slope in the south west.
