  • Scenic adults-only dog-friendly site in Dartmoor National Park
  • Haven for hikers and bikers, 20 minutes from Exeter city centre
  • On-site shop, information centre and secure off-lead dog area
Escape from messy desks, busy inboxes and fume-filled commutes with a peaceful fresh-air stay among grownups only at Barley Meadow Touring Park, a dog-friendly site under five minutes’ drive from the Devon village of Crockernwell. As it's in Dartmoor National Park, this is a top spot for hikers and bikers with a yen for exploring far-off places: the 117-mile Two Moors Way (which stretches from Ivybridge to Lynmouth) passes 10 minutes’ walk from the site, and National Cycle Route 27 and the Granite Way walking trail can be joined 15 minutes’ drive away in Okehampton. Closer to home, you can stroll next door to the farm shop to select goodies for your dinner. There’s plenty more to investigate around splendid Dartmoor, but of course… but not before kicking back for a bit on site… Stock up on snacks in the on-site shop (open subject to demand) while letting canine chums run off-leash in the dog area, or plan outings and pick up ideas for local walks, activities and visits in the little information centre. All sound a bit too rural? Never fear, as the site’s central and easy to reach: it’s just off the A30, and there’s a bus stop right outside the site entrance for trips to Exeter and Bude. Eco-friendly drivers can charge their electric vehicles using the EV point on site too.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Le camping est idéalement situé pour des départs en randonnée. Le camping est très bien entretenu, l'accueil est parfait, les emplacements suffisamment spacieux. Nous avons adoré l'espace billard et lecture. Les sanitaires sont propres et neufs. Il y a un accès à une ferme avec une boutique de produits locaux.

Kim T.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Absolutely loved Barley Meadows. We arrived after a long drive and had a call to say our pitch was ready. Staff were friendly, cheerful and chatty. Nothing was too much trouble.
The site has excellent safety measures on entrance and exit which ensures only guests on site have access.
The site is immaculate and the toilet/shower facilities were impeccable. There was a mix of mature couples and some solo travellers.
Noise was minimal apart from some traffic noise during busy periods however this did not bother us.
There is a little, well stocked shop on site with everything you need from camping needs to bottled beer!
We would definitely recommend this site, you will not be disappointed, we will be back one day soon 😀

Disliked Nothing, noise of the road during the bust times of the day although this didn’t put us off!

Maren D.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Der Platz war sehr gepflegt: schöne, ausreichend große Grasfläche; die sanitären Einrichtungen waren sauber und modern; es gab ausreichend Duschen und Plätze zum Spülen, ebenso Stellen für Trinkwasser. Da der Platz auf Hundehalter ausgelegt ist, gibt es einen eingezäunten Bereich für die Hunde mit toller Aussicht auf das Dartmoor.
In etwa 5 km Umkreis gibt es einige sehr schöne Wanderwege.

Disliked Am ersten Abend (Freitag) war es sehr laut, da der Platz direkt an einer Straße liegt, die wohl gerne von Motoradfahrern zum Gasgeben genutzt wird. An den anderen Tagen war dies zum Glück aber nicht mehr der Fall.
Schade fand ich auch, dass es keine Fußwege in der Nähe gab, so dass ich die morgendliche Runde mit dem Hund entlang der engen Straße gehen musste, wo ab und zu auch mal Autos kamen.
Wir hatten auf das Auto verzichten wollen, was aber leider nicht möglich war, da wir immer mehrere Kilometer an der Straße hätten entlang gehen müssen um zu den schönen Wanderwegen im Dartmoor zu gelangen.

From the manager: Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Am Freitag während Ihres Aufenthalts gab es einen Unfall auf der A30, sodass wir die Umleitung übernehmen mussten. Zum Glück ist bei dem Unfall niemand unversehrt geblieben!

Bezüglich unseres Standorts und der Nähe zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten empfehle ich Ihnen, sich vor der Buchung genauer zu informieren. Castle Drogo und Fingle Bridge sind vom Campingplatz aus zu Fuß erreichbar, liegen jedoch auf Nebenstraßen (keine Hauptstraßen). Wir wünschen Ihnen eine gute Reise. Herzliche Grüße von Leigh und David

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Lovely, clean and very well-maintained site with spacious pitches. A lot of thought and care has clearly gone into making this campsite really quite special.
The owners were very welcoming and helpful. They are very dog friendly too, with an excellent enclosed dog exercise area.
It’s a gem of a place, I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Local attractions

Devoting a few days to rambling explores of Dartmoor National Park is a must hereabouts, with plenty of stunningly scenic spots to include in itineraries. Start with the nearby Teign Valley and the can’t-miss Lydford Gorge (the deepest gorge in south-west England) – don’t forget a camera to snap some shots of the spectacular White Lady waterfall and the Devil’s Cauldron whirlpool. There are more ways to explore Dartmoor National Park than on foot or by bike too: adrenaline junkies can try out whitewater kayaking or canoeing along the River Dart, or head into Okehampton to sign up for scrambling through gorges. History buffs are well served around these parts too: jaunts into Exeter come with possible pitstops at the city’s famed cathedral, medieval guildhall and Tudor-built House that Moved (that one deserves a quick internet search), while rural travels lead to stately manors including Powderham Castle, Castle Drogo, Killerton House, and Buckland and Buckfast abbeys, all within an hour's drive. Poke around England’s last working water-powered forge at Finch Foundry and visit the Museum of Dartmoor Life near Okehampton, or step back into the present day with some kid-friendly fun at Crealy Adventure Park or Diggerland Devon, both around half an hour from the site.
