Our thoughts on the Sites we have stayed in so far ...

🌄 Recommended Campsites
With so many wonderful options out there, choosing a campsite can be a delightful challenge. We’ve come across several gems on our travels, and thought it might be helpful to share a few favourites.

Everyone’s preferences vary, but as a middle-aged, young-at-heart, active and newly retired couple, we’ve found these sites particularly enjoyable. If you’re heading to any of the areas we’ve explored on the blog, these are worth considering.

We personally prefer sites that offer a blend of natural beauty, thoughtful layout, and access to walking routes or public transport—perfect for exploring without needing to break camp.

🏕️ A Few We Think Are Worth Visiting:

Leonard Grove Village A site with breath-taking views down to the distant sea, so definitely bring your chocks! There’s excellent transport into Dartmouth and beyond. Facilities are simple but consistently clean, and the peaceful setting makes it a lovely base.

Tavistock Moor CCC Site A spacious site with the option to pitch in the field for added privacy. The river walk across the moors into Tavistock is a highlight—tranquil and scenic, with plenty of wildlife to spot along the way.

Hook Farm, Uplyme A charming site with a layout that offers a sense of seclusion. Some pitches are compact, but the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. On clear nights, you might even catch a glimpse of the Milky Way. Facilities are spotless, and the 2-mile river walk into Lyme Regis is an absolute joy. Bus links are conveniently located near the entrance, making it easy to explore the area.

Bath Chew Valley, Bishop Sutton A quiet site with well manicured gardens and plenty of facilities, both on site and in the near by village. The Lake is one of the most important for bird life in the UK and worth visiting alone. With the Mendips a stones throw away and Bath and Bristol no more than 30 minutes drive, a fantastic site.
