  • 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.

zafar i.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Barley Meadow Touring Park is a true gem for anyone who enjoys camping in a peaceful, beautifully maintained setting. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome that set the tone for a wonderfully relaxing stay.

The pitches are spacious, level, and thoughtfully laid out, giving you plenty of privacy while still feeling part of the friendly atmosphere. The facilities are spotless and modern—showers, toilets, and washing areas are maintained to the highest standard, and it’s clear the owners take real pride in keeping everything immaculate.

What really makes Barley Meadow stand out is the location. Nestled in stunning Devon countryside, it’s perfectly situated for exploring Dartmoor, nearby villages, and the coast. The site itself is tranquil and quiet, ideal for switching off and enjoying the fresh air, yet it’s close enough to attractions, walking trails, and pubs for when you want to get out and about.

The team running the park go above and beyond to make sure guests feel comfortable. They’re approachable, knowledgeable about the local area, and always happy to help with recommendations.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-run, and welcoming site with fantastic facilities and beautiful surroundings, Barley Meadow Touring Park is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be returning!

Ian S.

Power optional concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Loved our one night at Barley Meadow. First time here but not our last. This lovely site has super maintained grounds a pitches. You may need chocks on some. The site is close to the A30 and a nearby Petrol station is very handy, and not motorway prices! We didn’t use the ablution block, but I’m sure it was spotless. Great friendly welcome from the Gentleman/ owner, and why don’t more campsites used ANPR cameras at the entrance, instead of codes? Much better idea!

Disliked Nothing.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Lovely site, everything is clean and well kept. Friendly and informative welcome. A very good layout. The pitches are a good size. Very clean, modern shower block/facilities. The Reception has a good selection of food/spare parts available. There is a lovely little farmshop very nearby. The bus to Okehampton and Exeter stops at the gate. We loved our stay here.

Cathy C.

Power optional grass site

Liked This is an amazing site . Smallish and very dog friendly. The owners are really helpful and welcoming and available. The pitches are a very good size so you aren't on top of your neighbours. Being adult only it is quiet in beautiful countryside. Just off A30 it is accessible to lots of places. There is a secure field where dogs can run off lead. Being so dog friendly noone worried if your dog occasionally barked during the day. This was only my 3rd overnight stay in my campervan . I travel alone with my dog as I was widowed last year and felt safe and among like minded people . First time other campers have chatted to me on site . I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely be back.

Chris N.

Aires overnight (roadside) power optional concrete slab motorhome site

Liked Very nice site. Clean and neat with a well stocked shop. Owners very helpful. Did not use WiFi.

Disliked A long side the A30 road but wasn't a problem as quite at night. Easy access.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Cheers for the great review Chris. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. The road is actually the old A30. Which is why especially at this time of the year it can become busy as it can be the diversion for the main A30. We hope to see you again. Best wishes from Leigh and David

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.
