  • Simple pitches at a laidback farm site in Dartmoor National Park
  • Castle Drogo and Moretonhampstead Motor Museum within 15 mins' drive
  • Dog-friendly site 15 minutes' walk from Chagford's pubs and shops
Fancy going camping on Dartmoor, but also keen to be within easy reach of town facilities? Aller Park Farm is the place you need – this peaceful site is surrounded by the stunning scenery of the national park, and yet it’s only a 15-minute walk from the pubs, cafés and shops of Chagford. It’s worth doing a good stock-up at the farm shop and deli in this Devon market town, as there’s plenty of space for a picnic back on site, and barbecues are permitted if you'd like to do some alfresco cookery. In fact, the whole vibe here is pretty laidback, with plenty of space for kids to run around and play games, groups and dogs allowed and a firepit area for evenings by the campfire. Working on the principle that sometimes simple is best, facilities here have been kept to just the essentials: guests have access to a compost toilet, a washing-up area and picnic tables. Staying in Dartmoor National Park of course means great access to outdoor activities – there are plenty of walking and bike trails around, plus games of golf to play, gardens to explore, wildlife to spot and historic sights to visit.

Liked Quiet location. Toilet and shower arrangements were a little quirky but all worked very well. Not too far to walk into Chagford and everything there.

Disliked Gaps around the shower and toilet doors need to be filled for privacy

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Peaceful, could pitch anywhere, clean toilet and shower.
Very pretty scenery and a 20 min walk to Chagford.

Disliked Another camper allowed their dogs to roam freely off the lead, maybe a sign indicating that this is prohibited would be good. Not everyone is comfortable with dogs sniffing around the pitch

Local attractions

Take a wander around Chagford (15 minutes’ walk) first, looking out for the attractive church, the octagonal market house (fondly known as the Pepperpot) and checking out the independent shops and galleries. If you need a cool-off on a hot day, head a little way out of town for a dip in the outdoor pool. For a dip into the past, plan walks around places like Scorhill Stone Circle or Fernworthy (both 15 minutes’ drive), where you can do a circuit of the reservoir and then head to the stone circle. Castle Drogo (15 minutes) is another great option – built in the 20th century by Edward Lutyens, it’s become known as ‘the last castle in England’. The gardens here are gorgeous, and you can access trails into the Teign Gorge too. Moretonhampstead Motor Museum (10 minutes) is a nice place to visit nearby, or you can head further into Dartmoor for things like the Dartmoor Prison Museum (25 minutes) or walks in Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park (20 minutes).
