  • Simple pitches in a 64-acre north Devon rare culm meadow
  • Dartmoor National Park 15 minutes' drive; 40 mins to north Devon coast
  • Rural location with easy access from A386; dogs welcome
A peaceful, spacious and wildlife-rich site in rural Devon – but make it nicely convenient too. Peace and Moor has 64 acres of historic culm meadow to its name and is accessed via a quiet country road – but it’s also handily very close to the A386 to make it easy to get out and about in this wonderful part of the world. This is a simple site that's all about the wildlife-rich natural setting rather than heaps of facilities – pitches are off grid, with access to a portable toilet but no showers or drinking water, so make sure you plan accordingly. Of course what this site lacks in mod cons it makes up for with a peaceful setting, lots of wildlife to spot (red kites, buzzards and white harts are among the animals you may spy) and dark skies for some great stargazing by night. The nearest village, Inwardleigh, is about 10 minutes' walk away, and it's a tiny place with just a church on the attractions front; Folly Gate, a couple of minutes' drive away, is the place for a pub meal (especially if you book in for one of the popular Sunday roasts). For other foodie needs – like supplies for a barbecue back at base – take a trip to Okehampton, 10 minutes’ drive away. Being strategically located pretty much in the centre of Devon means this is an excellent spot for exploring far and wide: Dartmoor National Park is about 15 minutes' drive away, the north Devon coast 40 minutes and the south coast a little under an hour.

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Had a great stay here just like wild camping, very simple just what we needed. The only little thing was couldn’t use the portaloo because it was full and hadn’t been emptied but didn’t really matter to us. Would definitely stay again.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the review, we are really pleased you enjoyed the stay, the peace and tranquility and hopefully the nature!
We note your comment about the portaloo, good spot. We'll add instructions inside the unit holding the loo so users know how to empty it.
Hope to host you again!

Local attractions

If this nature-filled site has inspired you to see more of the local landscapes, you'll have plenty to choose from. Devon’s two national parks – Dartmoor (15 minutes' drive) and Exmoor (an hour) – are the big hitters, but it's also worth checking out some smaller, quieter destinations like War Horse Valley Country Farm Park (15 minutes), Meeth Quarry Nature Reserve (15 minutes) and Haldon Forest Park (40 minutes). Tackling it on two wheels? Try the Granite Way (10 minutes), Pegasus Way (10 minutes) or Ruby Way (25 minutes). There are also off-road mountain bike trails at Tamar Trails Centre (35 minutes), or you can try part of the 180-mile Tarka Trail from Meeth (10 minutes). And if that all sounds a bit tiring, how about a ride on the South Devon Railway (an hour)? Other days out nearby might take you to the gorgeous RHS Garden Rosemoor (half an hour), the historic attractions of Exeter (40 minutes) or the beaches of Bude (45 minutes). Both Dartmoor and Exmoor zoos are about an hour away.
