  • 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.

What customers say

A chilled, natural spot with super-friendly hosts. Spotless ablutions and a peaceful vibe with nature's soundtrack. Kids' play spots, hammocks, and braai areas are a hit. Great value and a handy base, though phone signal can be spotty and you might hear a bit of traffic.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Clean and tidy Toilet/Shower block, hot showers and ease of booking in just look for you name on wipe board and shows pitch. Plenty for children to run around. Location and ease of finding, good location for touring around the area, Recommend Drewsteignton Church and Drewe Arms community run pub with great food. National Trust - Fingle Bridge near bye it gets very busy so parking can be a nightmare, Fingle Bridge Inn on the river front good food.

Disliked Short opening season be nice if was till October instead of ending in August. Noise from A30 till late Evening/Night.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful place and beautiful family running the campsite.

The setting itself encourages you to embrace and enjoy nature.

The facilities are clean and provide you with all you need to cook and attend to hygiene.

The owners are friendly and welcoming - making the effort to introduce themselves to new arrivals once settled in.

Lovely walks, wild swimming and pubs fairly nearby.


We ended up staying an unplanned extra night because we were enjoying the camping experience.

Would absolutely recommend to others and will be returning.

Memories made ( :

Thank you both.

Liked First time camping and this campsite was magical. Such a beautiful little gem where kids can be kids, playing in the hammocks and swings and making friends with other campers.
Chinny and Henry were very welcoming and came to see everyone daily. Definitely recommend this little camping site.
