  • Family-run Devon site off the A3122 road, two miles from Dartmouth
  • Blackpool Sands 10 minutes’ drive; Dartmoor National Park half an hour
  • Spacious dog-friendly pitches; bus stop just outside
Coastal walks, beach days, outdoor adventures, family days out… whatever it is that brings you to this part of Devon, you’ll have a great base at Dartmouth Caravan Park. This family-friendly site (which also welcomes your four-legged companion) is part of a farm that’s surrounded by the stunning south Devon countryside and easily accessed from the main A3122 road to Dartmouth (five minutes’ drive). The harbour town’s shops, activities, attractions and restaurants are a couple of miles away, and there’s a handy bus stop just outside the site for easy trips to town via public transport. Dartmouth itself has plenty to keep you busy, especially if you take a ferry across the River Dart to explore all the things on the Kingswear side as well. It’s far from the only option for a day out, though – in fact, this area is pretty packed with things to do, with Woodlands Family Theme Park, huge sandy beaches like Blackpool Sands, Paignton Zoo and the huge expanse of Dartmoor National Park all within a half-hour drive. And that’s before you’ve even planned trips to nearby towns like Totnes (20 minutes) and Salcombe (35 minutes), or the fishing village of Brixham (25 minutes). That’s a lot to fit in, so it’s good to know that Dartmouth Caravan Park is comfortable enough to settle in for several days, with spacious pitches that have access to a dog park as well as a clean and modern bathroom block with accessible facilities.

What customers say

A new, well-kept campsite with spotless, modern facilities and spacious, level pitches offering beautiful views. Praised for its dog field, EV charging, and WiFi. Ideal for exploring Dartmouth, with a bus stop outside. Friendly owners, especially Abi. Minor points: more covered washing-up areas and clearer signs. A peaceful, highly recommended spot, with many keen to return.

Deborah A.

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked We absolutely loved this site. We have a VW T4 and took the brave move to travel at the end of October with a storm! The view from our camper was stunning when the sun shone. The facilities block was lovely and so cosy. Coupled with electric hook up, hard standing and WiFi we were very happy. We used the bus to Dartmouth just outside the neighbouring site. There is no sign but the bus does stop. We also walked down but the road is a little dangerous and fast. We should have used the fields. A big thank you to Abi and good luck, fab site. We will be back. 😁

Power optional gravel caravan site

Liked Layout and overall look with superb views over the country side from every pitch. The new facilities block is very good and works as it should. The new site will be a boon to Dartmouth as it settles in and all the planting takes a real hold.

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked Very spacious, Immaculate facilities. A lovely quiet area with mountain views.
We loved the added benefit of the secure dog field, which was easy to access.
Water tap at each plot.
I did ask for a position closer to the facilities block due to health issues and We needed to arrive at a date later than planned, this was easy to communicate and this was no issue. All our needs were met.
We pitched a tent on a grassed area with an additional gravel area and would recommend others to take stronger pegs than standard if this is your plan. We were prepared from past experiences.

Local attractions

There are multiple areas to explore at Woodlands Family Theme Park (five minutes’ drive), so if the kids (or you…) are into testing your agility skills, you might want to check out the Ninja Zone, with climbing walls and net bridges; if you’re into thrills, the Cyclone Canyon Zone has watercoasters and toboggan runs. There are also falconry displays and a zoo farm. The harbour at Brixham (25 minutes) is home to a full-size replica of the Golden Hind, the 16th-century galleon that sailed around the world under Sir Francis Drake. Walk along the Brixham Breakwater, which stretches half a mile into Tor Bay, for expansive views of the town. Dartmoor National Park (half an hour) has plenty of top spots where you can indulge your active passions, whether you’re into hiking, cycling, horse riding or canoeing. Otters, bats and cuckoo birds are among the many wildlife species inhabiting the park’s open moorlands, bogs and woodland.
