About Doone Valley Campsite
Tucked into a wooded valley near Oare, Doone Valley Campsite offers a quiet, back-to-basics retreat with a few thoughtful comforts. Pitches are tucked among the trees, campfires are encouraged in the evenings, and there's electric hook-up and WiFi for those who need it. Facilities are simple but well-kept—hot showers, clean toilets, and drinking water on tap—and the welcome extends to dogs, making it popular with families and anyone wanting a peaceful spot to unwind.
The rural setting means you're well placed for walks along the wooded valleys and moorland edges that characterise this corner of Exmoor, though some visitors note the site can feel a little basic if you're after more polished facilities. It's an honest, no-frills campsite that does the essentials well.

What visitors say
Lovely campsite by the river, despite the midges! It would be perfect if it had a fridge/freezer and replaced the showers - it’s those horrible types you have to press every 10 seconds, super annoying. Carol was a bit standoffish but I had anticipated that from previous reviews 😂 you must do the Lorna Doone valley walk just next door, it’s the most beautiful woodlands ever.

Fabulous campsite tucked away in the valley in blissful surroundings. Good facilities of shower/ toilet blocks and washing up station, all in good order. Perfect site for quiet, no frills, ideal rest and relaxation. Can't fault this place

A beautiful campsite with riverside pitches. Good, clean facilities and an adjacent tearoom (not part of the site). A fantastic location to relax and enjoy time with loved ones, well priced and good value for money👍🇬🇧
