  • Peaceful pop-up site on an old golf course by the River Teign
  • Just outside Dartmoor National Park; Canonteign Falls five mins' drive
  • Spacious dog-friendly pitches among 100 acres of parkland
Off to Devon for a break that combines countryside and coast – and maybe a little bit of city time too? Pick a spot at Teign Valley Campsite, a pop-up site at a former golf course on the banks of the River Teign itself. With plenty of open space, fabulous valley views and just simple facilities (toilets, showers and an outdoor washing-up area in the old clubhouse), this is a splendid place for a quiet rural break. Roomy pitches are tucked away among mature trees with plenty of space for your awning, gazebo and camping chairs, and you’ll be allowed to get a blaze going in your firepit for a bit of evening warmth; logs are available to buy on site to save you hauling a stack over here. Kids and dogs are very welcome here, and should find plenty of space to scamper about within the 100 acres of surrounding parkland; just bear in mind that dogs should be kept on leads around the site and when near livestock. Being right by the river, you can also just take a stroll to the water’s edge for a paddle if you like. This is a great spot for a break packed with variety – it’s right on the edge of Dartmoor National Park for walking, climbing and other outdoor activities, and about half an hour’s drive to the coast or to Exeter city centre. Closer to home, a pub is about half a mile away and you can pick up supplies at the supermarkets in Chudleigh (10 minutes’ drive) or Bovey Tracey (15 minutes).

What customers say

Spacious, peaceful pop-up on old golf course. Hosts praised as friendly & helpful, beautiful river walks & good value. Some facilities being renovated but clean/functional; new washing-up station. Shower privacy/temp noted as issues, but manager addressing. Relaxed arrival/departure a bonus.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked A lovely, quiet campsite in a peaceful location. The toilets and showers were so clean and warm. It was a great price for us for a couple of nights, visiting family in Chudleigh and for a day at the beautiful Maidencombe beach.
The kids had great fun walking under the road to the river, which was really nice and clear.
Lots of wildlife around, we saw kingfishers at the river.

Disliked Our only negative was there was no freezer to replace our ice blocks. This would be easy to put in place, and would have meant we could have stayed longer.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Really liked it - well maintained, lovely hosts, beautiful spot and a really worthwhile project to support. Very dog friendly and a beautiful spot to let loose the other side of the tunnel.

Disliked To be viable as a long term campsite the facilities would probably need to be more extensive but they were no problem and very well cared for.
