  • North Devon glamping with spectacular moorland views; alpacas on site
  • Within an hour's drive of Dartmoor and the Exmoor coast
  • Furnished bell tents with a double bed, electricity and induction hob
Overhill Exmoor is a peaceful family-run glamping site in a rural north Devon location. Located on the edge of the village of North Molton – where there is a pub, village shop and post office – this site has access to both of Devon's spectacular national parks within an hour's drive or less. In fact, for exploration close to base, the southern edge of Exmoor is just over a mile away to the north. Your five-metre bell tent accommodation comes equipped with a comfy double bed, electricity, a twin induction hob, toaster and kettle. Outside, there's also a firepit, a barbecue and open-air furniture, making it easy to spend laidback evenings relaxing under the stars. Each of these lovely tents is in its own little fenced patch, so you'll have plenty of privacy away from the chats of your fellow glampers. A short walk away, well-kept shower cabins, luxury toilets and basins add an extra layer of comfort and convenience. The market town of South Molton is a 10-minute drive away if you're in need of a supermarket, swimming pool, restaurant or takeaway. The town also hosts a traditional pannier market – a must-see when visiting the West Country. Overhill Exmoor is approximately 45 minutes from the excellent surfing beaches at Croyde or Woolacombe, while historic Lynton (35 minutes), Lynmouth (35 minutes) and Clovelly (45 minutes) are easily accessible too.

What customers say

This peaceful campsite offers spacious, comfy tents with stunning views and great privacy. Guests loved the clean facilities & powerful showers. Welcoming hosts & on-site alpacas were a hit with families. Ideal for Exmoor/Dartmoor. A few minor points on cooking space & site decor. Highly recommended, visitors want to return!

Simon H.

Bell tent (XL)

Liked The site was very peaceful and quiet, with great facilities and a very clean, comfortable and spacious tent with lots of privacy and fantastic views. The kitchenette was perfect, and included everything we needed for cooking and eating. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived and even got to feed the alpacas, which our daughters loved! We will definitely be back!
