  • Pop-up, peaceful countryside site based on rare culm meadows in Devon for no-frills camping and motorhomes
A 64 acre site in rural Devon, Preston Moor is a historic Culm Meadow allowing campers and motorhome users the opportunity to pitch up in a peaceful, off the beaten track location yet with great access to all the local facilities in and around Okehampton. The site is 45 minutes drive from the North Devon and North Cornwall Coast, 60 minutes drive from the South Devon Coast, 35 minutes drive to Exeter and 10 minutes from Okehampton. Based on quiet country roads and sitting just on the outskirts of Inwardleigh village, which has a picturesque church, whilst Folly Gate (the next village) has a pub popular for its Sunday roasts. Lots of nature visits the site, Buzzards and Red Kites circle overhead whilst you might catch a glimpse of a White Hart or its Red cousins roaming around. At night you'll be able to star-gaze from a dark sky spot. A simple site, you will be off grid with no showering facilities. Back to basics. No facilities for freezing No onsite reception on-site
