  • Scenic adults-only dog-friendly site in Dartmoor National Park
  • Haven for hikers and bikers, 20 minutes from Exeter city centre
  • On-site shop, information centre and secure off-lead dog area
Escape from messy desks, busy inboxes and fume-filled commutes with a peaceful fresh-air stay among grownups only at Barley Meadow Touring Park, a dog-friendly site under five minutes’ drive from the Devon village of Crockernwell. As it's in Dartmoor National Park, this is a top spot for hikers and bikers with a yen for exploring far-off places: the 117-mile Two Moors Way (which stretches from Ivybridge to Lynmouth) passes 10 minutes’ walk from the site, and National Cycle Route 27 and the Granite Way walking trail can be joined 15 minutes’ drive away in Okehampton. Closer to home, you can stroll next door to the farm shop to select goodies for your dinner. There’s plenty more to investigate around splendid Dartmoor, but of course… but not before kicking back for a bit on site… Stock up on snacks in the on-site shop (open subject to demand) while letting canine chums run off-leash in the dog area, or plan outings and pick up ideas for local walks, activities and visits in the little information centre. All sound a bit too rural? Never fear, as the site’s central and easy to reach: it’s just off the A30, and there’s a bus stop right outside the site entrance for trips to Exeter and Bude. Eco-friendly drivers can charge their electric vehicles using the EV point on site too.

What customers say

Barley Meadow is a top-rated, adults-only site. Guests rave about its spotless facilities, welcoming owners, and tranquil vibe. Spacious pitches, modern amenities, and handy shop make for a brilliant Devon break. A bit of road noise is noted, but doesn't spoil the stay.

Aires overnight (roadside) power optional concrete slab motorhome site

Liked 11/10 is easily given to this site.
No expense has been spared.
Lovely welcome on arrival.
Security barriers. Clean facilities that are much better than a lot of sites Ive been to. Ladies even has a hairdryer.
A room with games in.
Lovely walks from site with lots of information about them given when we arrived.
We walked to the local village pub which though a wee hilly we managed as old folk in 40 mins one way.
Location is perfect only 3 miles off A30 so very easy to get to.
Will definitely be back when next in the area and would highly recommend.

Disliked We was only there one night as a stop over. :-((((((

Power optional grass site

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute perfection!
This wonderfully quiet campsite is a true hidden gem. The staff are incredibly helpful, and the toilet and shower facilities are brand new and amazingly clean. We loved the peaceful atmosphere, the on-site pool table, and the short, charming walk through a field of donkeys and sheep straight to the local butcher.
Can't wait to return!

Local attractions

Devoting a few days to rambling explores of Dartmoor National Park is a must hereabouts, with plenty of stunningly scenic spots to include in itineraries. Start with the nearby Teign Valley and the can’t-miss Lydford Gorge (the deepest gorge in south-west England) – don’t forget a camera to snap some shots of the spectacular White Lady waterfall and the Devil’s Cauldron whirlpool. There are more ways to explore Dartmoor National Park than on foot or by bike too: adrenaline junkies can try out whitewater kayaking or canoeing along the River Dart, or head into Okehampton to sign up for scrambling through gorges. History buffs are well served around these parts too: jaunts into Exeter come with possible pitstops at the city’s famed cathedral, medieval guildhall and Tudor-built House that Moved (that one deserves a quick internet search), while rural travels lead to stately manors including Powderham Castle, Castle Drogo, Killerton House, and Buckland and Buckfast abbeys, all within an hour's drive. Poke around England’s last working water-powered forge at Finch Foundry and visit the Museum of Dartmoor Life near Okehampton, or step back into the present day with some kid-friendly fun at Crealy Adventure Park or Diggerland Devon, both around half an hour from the site.
