What customers say
This campsite is grand, with loads of room and lovely views. Spotless, modern loos and showers are a big hit, as are the fridge, freezer, and phone charging lockers. Animal feeding's a treat, and the owners are dead sound. It's a peaceful spot, perfect for privacy or groups, and a great base for exploring. Most folks loved it.

Fantastic site, spotless facilities, stunning views – will return
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked I booked a last-minute, five-night stay at Holsome Park Camping, and it's one of those rare finds that exceeded all expectations. Tucked away between Totnes and Kingsbridge in the stunning South Hams, this family-run, environmentally conscious working farm sits amid an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with sweeping views over Dartmoor—completely unforgettable.
From the moment we arrived, Louise was warm, and welcoming, —she struck the perfect balance between helpful and unobtrusive.
Facilities that truly impressed: The toilet and shower block is immaculate, modern, and well‑laid‑out, including a family room and even accessible facilities.
Two communal fridges and freezers came in incredibly handy for a non-electric pitch—absolutely essential although we booked electric.
The hot showers were reliable and thoughtfully designed, with clean cubicles and plenty of washing‑up space sheltered from the rain.
Daily delights and charming touches: The 9 am animal feeding session was a highlight—they even let us feed the chickens and collect eggs. It connected us to the farm in such a special way! You can also order meat and essentials like bread, milk and logs for a fire.
The views at sunset are downright magical—this elevated campsite offers open panoramas ideal for watching the sun dip behind Dartmoor.
Location & peace of mind: Exceptionally central for the Dartmouth Regatta, with the A38 just 10 minutes away, making coastal and countryside adventures equally convenient.
A wonderfully quiet, family-friendly vibe with open fields to run in, kids happily playing nearby, and the right balance of freedom and care.
Verdict: Holsome Park Camping is a gem. Between the fantastic facilities, unbeatable views, thoughtful extras like animal feeding, and Louise’s warm hospitality, it’s quickly become a favourite. Five nights felt way too short—I’m already counting down the days until I return next year. If you’re heading to the South Hams or the Regatta, do yourself a favour and stay here—you’ll thank me later.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This was an excellent site. Pitches were well spaced. The toilets and showers were really clean, there were 3 sinks for washing dishes, picnic tables should you want to use them and a fridge and freezer for campers to use.
Beautiful, open views towards Dartmoor.

Great site, friendly staff, super clean!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked So so easy to find, quick check in and everyone was so friendly! The toilets/showers are impeccable clean and the wash up & fridge area is spacious and easy to use! This was our first time full on camping (myself and my toddler) and I really think the highlight was the family bathroom with shower in as well as the toilet. It meant we didn't have to squeeze in a tiny cubicle to wash and get sorted and just made life sooo much easier. Honestly can't wait to come back!

Great campsite, very chilled , clean facilities and awesome views!
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great views, clean site and spotless toilets/showers, nice and helpful owners.
Fridges available if you're not getting electric pitch. Phone charging also available. Did not use the wifi because I got great signal on the field! (EE) . Very relaxed and plenty of room! Kids area was a bonus also feeding lambs and chickens every morning was fun for the younger members of the family :) It can get windy as its up the hill so get some windbreakers just in case ;)
You may order some food and wood on the site. We got burgers which were delicious! You may get some eggs , milk , break etc if you're short but there is no shop/cafe on the site. 30 mins drive from Dartmouth and BlackpoolSands beach and Bentham beach and South Milton beach so the location was just great to explore south of Devon!
We enjoyed our stay and we may be back! Thank you ❤️
Disliked The rain and wind lol
