  • 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.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Small site, large plots, kids play area was great with a den, swings and tree swing, quiet location not too far from shops etc. if needed. Easy to check in and hosts came round to say hi and check we were ok.
Toilets/showers were always clean.

Disliked They advertise a microwave on site which we nearly planned to use for dinner Friday evening but luckily didn’t as we couldn’t find it.
There
Were several bulbs out over the ladies showers which made things a bit dark.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked This was a perfect little campsite. We stayed on an electric pitch and it had everything we needed for a long weekend. The toilets and showers were clean and warm. There was a freezer and fresh produce to buy and we especially loved the fire buckets. Great area for walks. We will definitely be back to stay.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for giving us a 10! It's great to hear we had everything you needed to make your camping trip perfect.
