Static caravans in Devon
Longing to fall asleep to the backdrop of waves breaking on the shore? Or perhaps you’d prefer the dark skies of a moorland site? What do you need to think about – the family, the dogs or perhaps organising a break with friends? Whatever you’re looking for in a Devon caravan break, somewhere there’s the ideal base for you.
Pitchup has a range of choices in all sorts of price ranges and styles, so read on to see what’s what on a Devon caravan break.
Where you should stay in Devon
-
Keen to get far, far away from it all without needing to pitch a tent? Use our filters to look out for Devon caravan breaks in the forest, or maybe tucked away on farms with spectacular views. For a walking holiday with a solitary vibe, the Blackdown Hills are a peaceful respite often overlooked in the rush to the coast or the moors.
-
Devon’s moorland national parks have some of the darkest skies in the country, so you’ll have a good chance of spotting the Milky Way around places like Bovey Tracey or Lynton – if you’re after some cosy stargazing time with your beloved, have a look for caravan sites allowing campfires so you get to stay nice and warm.
-
Family caravan breaks in Devon are rightly popular – there’s so much for kids to do and see. Treat youngsters to animal cuddles at the Donkey Sanctuary, near Sidmouth, or thrill rides on rollercoasters at the Milky Way Adventure Park, and make sure there's something to keep them busy back at base by booking a caravan park with a play area.

If you’re keen to take the dog on your Devon break, check out our list of dog-friendly caravans – and perhaps think about basing yourself near beaches where your pets are welcome all year. Saunton Sands offers dunes to run around on, while Bantham beach is a canine nirvana with rockpools for splashing in with the kids.
- Holidaying in a caravan offers protection against the weather, so you’re not restricted to summer breaks. Head for cute Clovelly village or book a cruise along the River Dart from Exmouth out of season, and you’ll soon realise that the crowds have all gone home. For those off-season breaks, just check to see which Devon caravan sites are open all year.
What you can do in Devon
-
Devon is the only county in the UK with two distinct coastlines – and you can try out all manner of watersports on both. Fancy learning to sail at Salcombe or kayaking off Combe Martin? Surfing more your style? Look for caravan sites around Woolacombe beach with its consistent waves and surfing schools.
-
Just as Devon has two coastlines, it also has two moors offering boundless walking and biking opportunities. Check out the area around North Molton for adventures on Exmoor, or consider cosy Chagford retreats if you’re longing to get out onto wild Dartmoor.
-
Dedicated foodies shouldn't go hungry in Devon. You’re spoilt for choice, from delicious cream teas in Mortehoe cafés to fine dining in Exeter and seafront pubs serving seafood fresh from the fishing boats in Brixham.
- If you’re looking for a souvenir of your Devon break, you’ll find plenty of arty galleries in harbourfront Beer, while the historic Pannier Market in Barnstaple is packed with stalls selling local scrumpy cider and delicious farm produce.
