  • Wild camping meadows with spectacular South Hams views in South Devon
  • Dartmoor National Park five minutes’ drive; Wonwell Beach 25 minutes
  • Hot showers; walks from the pitches; pubs and shops 10 minutes’ drive
Can’t decide between Devon moorland or the coast? There’s no need to make any such decisions when you stay at Cannamore Camping, a wild camping site five minutes’ drive from Dartmoor National Park and 25 minutes from the South Devon beaches on the River Erme estuary including Wonwell. On arrival on site, you’re free to pick your own camping spot, either in a wildflower meadow with wide-ranging views of the South Hams countryside or on the slightly more sheltered lower field. Wherever you pitch up, it will be in a peaceful setting surrounded only by the sounds and sights of nature. With lots of walks on grassy tracks straight from the pitches, you can exercise yourselves (and any accompanying canines, as this is a dog-friendly site), or venture out onto the moor for more robust yomps up to rocky tors or through deep gorges. The proximity to the national park makes this a handy overnight stop for long-distance cyclists and backpackers as well. And after time on the moor or messing around on the beach, you can return to your rural retreat safe in the knowledge that pristine hot showers await to wash away the exertions of the day. If you’re intending to spark up the barbecue, the nearest shop is at South Brent (10 minutes), where there are a few pubs and restaurants too.

What customers say

This peaceful, well-kept site offers beautiful nature and views. Owners, especially Roy, are very friendly. Private toilets per pitch and clean showers are a big plus. Well-spaced pitches provide privacy. Hot water and covered wash station (future consideration) were minor points for some. Great for exploring locally.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Beautiful campsite, having a key to your own toilet was a really bonus, but the showers were immaculate. Roy was there to greet use on arrival. We were just on the left as you enter the site, which is perfectly small and well kept, and convenient just off the A38. We only live in Plymouth, 39 mins away, but far enough to enjoy the tranquility and a wonderful dawn chorus.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Roy and Anita were very welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make our stay enjoyable. It is a beautiful peaceful site that’s is well maintained with your own private toilet per pitch and great shower facilities. It is central to a lot of places to visit. It is a credit to the owners and you couldn’t want anything more. Thankyou we will be back soon.

Disliked None.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great central location for exploring south Devon. Lovely big spaced out pitches set within wild flower meadow. Beautiful view and peace and quiet. Having key to own private toilet is a game changer! Roy is so kind and helped us out massively when our family had car trouble.

Local attractions

Heading into Dartmoor National Park, look out for the wild ponies roaming its craggy landscape. Clamber up to the park’s signature granite tors like Combestone (half an hour’s drive), hike up to Whitelady Waterfall in Lydford Gorge (an hour), or follow trails to the Neolithic tombs at Merrivale Prehistoric Settlement (45 minutes), and the Bronze Age monument at Fernworthy Stone Circle (50 minutes). Cyclists have miles of bridleways and byways to pedal, including the Drake’s Trail through wooded valleys and open moorland. When days on the coast are calling, make for quiet Wonwell Beach (25 minutes) for picnics and dog walks, or Mothecombe (25 minutes) for rock pooling and paddling. Busier options include the popular sands at sailing-mad Salcombe (35 minutes), and sheltered Blackpool Sands (40 minutes, it’s shingle despite its name), which has a café and lifeguards in summer. As well as the seaside, other options for family days out include the petting zoo, kids’ rollercoasters and water rides at Woodlands Family Theme Park (25 minutes), and the pint-sized recreations of English landmarks and landscapes at Babbacombe Model Village (40 minutes).
