- Lydford Gorge 25 minutes’ drive; Dartmoor National Park half an hour
- Communal kitchen and games barn; wildlife walks and rewilding talks
With stunning views towards both the Atlantic coast and Dartmoor, Rewilding Coombeshead in West Devon is a sustainable site with spacious mown pitches on a flat field within a 400-acre (the name may have given you a clue here) rewilding site. If you’d like to sleep under the stars in a landscape alive with once-endangered wildlife, then this is your chance.
Facilities at this peaceful spot have been thought out for convenience: there’s a covered campsite kitchen with a two-ring gas stove, sinks with drinking water and picnic benches. Next-door is a games barn with a lounge area, games to borrow, seating and tables; you can also cook pizza in the woodfired oven and stay cosy on chillier days around the brazier.
There’s hardstanding car parking nearby and wheelbarrows for taking your camping gear to the pitches. Practical facilities stretch to flushing toilets, gas-heated showers in shower sheds (hot water guaranteed), drinking water, a freezer for ice packs and charging facilities.
Once installed on your pitch, wander the Wild Garden or head for the viewing platform to watch the wild cattle, water buffalo and Exmoor ponies that graze freely in the fields. If you’d like to learn more about the burgeoning wildlife on site, book tours and wild walks led by expert ecologists – you may be lucky enough to spot water voles, beavers, white storks, turtle doves and wild cats.
