  • 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.

Damian S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Absolutely EVERYTHING!
What a delightful place to stay. We turned up early and there was no issue. We were helpfully directed to our pitch, which was a stunning area in a quiet corner, under tbe trees. This being a small site, everything is very close, so you don't have to trek miles to get water etc. And the site is absolutely spotless, with well tended grass and gravel pitches, to spotless showers, toilets, laundry, and washing up areas. There was a dog walking section, where you can let your dog off with peace of mind, as the area is clean and secure and poo bags are provided. The little shop sold a range of things including a much needed electric extension lead and Scoop dog ice cream!
And to top it all - Barely Meadow is child free, being an adults only site, so the peace was beautiful and endless. This is such an amazing place. We didn't want to leave. It was full of peace and friendly people.

Liked Site very well run and grounds immaculate. Facilities always clean, water hot. Farm shop about 5 minute walk. Beautiful country side nearby, Castle Drogo and Fingle Bridge walkable, albeit a bit steep in places!
One of the nicest sites we’ve used, definitely return.

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.
