Camping pitch

  • Family-friendly site in the Devon countryside
  • Five minutes’ drive to Dartmoor National Park; Castle Drogo 25 minutes
  • Shared barn with kitchen and games room; high-season pool and sauna
Set in four and a half acres of gorgeous Devon countryside near Okehampton, Middle Corscombe Farm is a splendid spot for rural stays for large family groups, single families or loved-up couples. Whether you’re after a stroll to spot the wildlife (look out for deer leaping across the meadow), helping the kids to build a den or enjoying a picnic by a gurgling stream, there’s plenty of room for everyone to lose themselves around the grounds. Kids can play Pooh sticks, and you can all watch the sunset together from around the campfire or eat alfresco on warmer days. If the weather's behaving, have a leisurely dip in the swimming pool (open during high season only). On any rainy days, magic your cares away in the sauna (also only open during high season), or simply drift down to the repurposed hay barn to cook and chat with fellow guests in the campers’ kitchen (powered by wind turbine and a solar panels, so eco-credentials are excellent here) and dine out on the decking. Feeling idle? Laze away the hours on nattily upcycled denim sofas in the living area; if the kids get restless, send them to burn off energy with a game of pool or table football. If you need to restock edible goodies, supermarkets in Okehampton (10 minutes’ drive) are your best bet. Note that disposable barbecues are not permitted on site.

Meadow unpowered grass tent site (shaded)

Liked: This was a great little find! The camp site has everything you need, the barn ie a great addition if you get a spell of bad weather and also jut great to hang out - we played a few games of pool and used the kitchen facilities. Plenty of space on the pitches, the communal fire pit is ideal to sit around in the evening. We even had a game of badminton in one of the meadows. The swimming pool looked great but we werent brave enough to go in with slightly cooler weather. This site is great and the owners are very helpful - I would definitely come back and recommend to others!

Meadow unpowered grass tent site (shaded)

Liked: Wow, just wow. The site is beautiful and has everything you need for a good family camp. We chose to stay in the meadow which was private and shaded and lovely and Lloyd (the owner) was very kind and helped us get our heavy things down in the landrover. It is a magical campsite with a great communal area (we call it the clubhouse) which has a fridge and air hockey. What more do you need? To top it all off there’s the sauna and pool. Absolutely brilliant, we only went offsite two out of five days, we were very happy to hang out at the campsite the other days. The moor is very close and when we did venture out we loved the majestic quality of West Mill Tor which we climbed with gusto. Showers are hot, freezer is cold, toilets are clean, camping ground is flat. We will definitely come back to this camp, no doubt in my mind. Thank you so much Lloyd and Lisle for your hospitality.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Paddock unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Each pitch is surrounded by wild grasses and flowers, giving privacy and space from other campers. The communal barn kitchen was great during the odd rainy evening. Loos and showers kept clean and tidy.

Disliked: Minor things: The lights in the loos/showers are quite dim, but not really an issue. A wooden slatted mat in the shower room would be nice, as the floor gets wet and slippy very quickly.

Liked: Nicely held campsite in the nature, only very few pitches to allow tranquility. Everything is clean and the barn is a nice addition. Good hot shower

Disliked: These are tiny details but to have a small stool in the shower would be nice, especially when you have young children to shower and dress. Also a dish rack in the barn would be useful.

Meadow unpowered grass tent site (shaded)

Liked: We loved everything! Lloyd and Lisle were so welcoming and helpful. The barn is a really special space with loads of great books, games & a wonderful kitchen with an aga to use for cooking if you don’t feel like being by your tent. Everything was spotlessly clean - even though it was a bit wet & muddy! We were in the lower camping space and it was perfect - sheltered from the rain and the children loved the forest walk. We managed to use the pool in the short time it was sunny and the children loved it! Such an amazing place - I almost don’t want to tell anyone! We’ll definitely be back.

Paddock unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Lovely site with exceptionally friendly hosts. The site is beautifully maintained and really peaceful. The Barn is a great addition as is the pool and sauna. Close to loads of local amenities but once you are on the farm it feels really secluded. Take time to check out the woodland walk and meet the gorgeous neighbouring cows.

Disliked: The eco credentials are great, but a couple of charging points wouldn't go amiss. ;-) Maybe a bit more light on the toilets but appreciate what is there is all solar powered.

Paddock unpowered grass tent site

Liked: We loved it at Middle Corscombe Farm. We found the campsite to be really conveniently located close to the A30, with brilliant facilities. This was our first time camping with our kids and they had a great time. The pool was fabulous (luckily we had a hot, sunny day as the water was quite cold!) and a real bonus for the price. We really loved the barn, brilliant as a place to hang out other than the tents and were not expecting it to be so well equipped with everything we needed to cook, and lots of games and books. The shower facilities were excellent - all solar/wind powered and lovely and warm, and kept clean and well maintained. We also liked that the pitches were nicely made up, flat and spread out with meadow in between. Lloyd and Lisle, the owners, were kind and helpful. As a tiny campsite, we had the place to ourselves for one night which was lovely, and when another party joined ours we were lucky & it worked so well - they were all adults so there was no problem or clash of preferred timings to sign up to use the pool and kitchen.

Meadow unpowered grass tent site (shaded)

Liked: - Friendliness of the owners. - Great facilities e.g. sauna (bookable), showers, communal games room, communal kitchen (bookable) - proximity to A30 junction, Okehampton facilities, Dartmoor

Disliked: Only minor gripes were: - limited car parking all away from the pitches (which was clearly indicated upfront) - grass paths to pitches are slanted on hillside, tricky at night and when wet

Local attractions

Listen up walkers and cyclists: Dartmoor National Park has almost endless opportunities for challenging moorland yomps and mountain bike trails. Follow the circular walk (taking in pubs for refreshment breaks of course) to Belstone (both five minutes’ drive) before climbing to the top of Belstone Tor, or take the bridlepath to Sticklepath (five minutes) for jaunts along the long-distance, traffic-free Tarka Trail. Mixing in a bit of culture with your Devon explorations, the National Trust-owned Castle Drogo (25 minutes) was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and is open for tours of its refurbished and elaborate interiors as well as strolls in grounds overlooking the Teign Gorge. RHS Garden Rosemoor (35 minutes) is a blaze of colourful plantings with water features, vegetable gardens and walks through summer wildflower meadows. For a fun-filled family day out, join the kids on rollercoasters and log flumes at Crealy Theme Park and Resort (35 minutes) and then cool things down with a visit to the park’s Meerkat Manor, or hop on a vintage steam train at South Devon Railway - Staverton Station (50 minutes) to chug through lovely Devon countryside.
