  • 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.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The back to basics style of site was exactly what i was hoping for. There was eve a hot shower which was a bonus. Dont let the compost loo put you off, there was no smell at all and everything was clean and fresh. The views were fantastic and so much history in the area especially in the village of Chagford. The nighttime view of the stars was stunning. I saw over 30 satellites and 7 meteorites.

Disliked Too hot for me except when night fell, then it was perfect.

Liked La simplicité et l’ingéniosité pour la douche et la toilette sèche m’ont enthousiasmé. Quand les propriétaires sont passés, on les sentait vraiment intéressés par leur job et le contact avec le client. Sympa.

Disliked Il faudrait mieux indiquer/signaler l’endroit, depuis le bas noter qu’il faut aller à la prochaine porte. Peut-être en-bas de la montée aussi?

Lovely field and views with some nice walks and things nearby…

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Absolutely belting campsite. No pitches, just pick a spot on the massive open field, pitch up, crack open a cold one and enjoy the absolutely fabulous views! Toilet, rubbish bins and cold water, what more do you need? The delightful town of Chagford is a mere 10 minute stroll away with lovely pubs and welcoming local shops.
Fred the campsite owner is a very accommodating lovely chap and he made us feel welcome.
Our 3 children loved the wide open spaces and freedom to roam, with plenty of space for cricket, frisbee, football, rugby and everything in between.
See you again Fred. Many Thanks.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Lovely peaceful, quiet and picturesque…

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).
