  • Small family-run site on a smallholding in Dartmoor National Park
  • Close to River Teign and Two Moors Way; 25 minutes' drive to Exeter
  • Simple pitches with well-kept facilities, plus play area and hammocks
Three Hares Campsite is a small family-run site in the Dartmoor National Park, part of a 25-acre smallholding run by friendly Chinnie and Henry. Simple, secluded and scenic – that’s the style of this little Devon site full of wildflowers and trees and bordering a little stream. It’s got hammocks set up in the willow trees and a small play area with a tree swing for the kids, and welcomes barbecues and campfires (as long as they’re kept off the ground). There’s also fab farm shop five minutes' drive away for top-notch sausages and local veg to grill. There’s much to do in the surrounding area, whether you’re planning hikes on the Two Moors Way, bike rides on the Wray Valley Trail or Granite Way, kayaking, swimming and climbing around the River Teign or simply sampling all the Devon cream teas you can possibly manage. Exeter’s about a 25-minute drive away for a city fix, and you can get to beach days within about 40 minutes. This is a simple and eco-friendly site but all the necessary facilities are in place: guests have access to fresh water, hot (and strong) showers, flushing toilets, a chemical waste point and a lovely timber-framed washing-up area. Sorry, but no dogs are allowed on site as it has sheep for neighbours.

Well-kept, tranquil, and welcoming campsite with a natural vibe. Guests loved the clean facilities, peaceful spot, and kid-friendly natural play areas. Minor issues like damp wood for fires or distant road noise were noted, but overall it's a great value, relaxing getaway with many wanting to return.

Claire L.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked I liked the fact it was a no dog policy, I liked the fact it was small, I liked the fact the owners are chilled and accommodating, I liked we could have firepits and were left alone to chill.
The pitch sizes are a nice size.
The drinking water tasted clean and pure.
Not to expensive.
Hammocks.. but maybe put in a couple more.

Disliked I didnt like that the showers were Scalding hot, that you couldn't stand under but they are going to be dealt with apparently.
There isnt anything for teenagers to do at all.
Needs to have a little shop onsite for basics.

Liked Lovely clean, light, well designed toilet and shower block. Nice length of grass - not too long or short! Lovely stream and good play area for kids. Friendly owners. Very reasonably priced.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked We stayed here for 6 nights and had the most lovely time. It’s a quiet, chilled campsite with a lovely vibe..relaxed and natural. Our little one who’s 3 could explore and play…on the swings, hammocks ands little play area.It’s nestled in a beautiful feeling piece of land a lovely setting in amongst the trees and the little stream, campfires at night..just loved it. Chinnie and Henry were really lovely and helpful when i had questions. There’s a great check-in/reception room with a fridge, kettle, charging point…and books as well. and kids books. We would absolutely come back here again.
