Camping in Devon

Devon's size means campsites and glamping stretch from the surf-worn coast at Appledore round to quiet inland farms, and the choice reflects that spread. Somewhere like Huxtable Farm or Cockingford Farm sits deep in working farmland, good for those who want fields, animals and proper stargazing, while others lean towards polished glamping with hot tubs and finished interiors, as at Wheatfields Luxury Glamping or Bovey Heath Retreat.

Between those two ends there's plenty of middle ground: small family-run fields such as Orchard Lodge Camping or Bowhayes Farm, and newer ventures like Trinity Hill Hideaway and Foxcote offering a step up from a tent without losing the outdoor feel. Rewilding Coombeshead points to a growing strand of low-impact, nature-focused stays too.

With 467 places listed across the county, it's worth thinking about what kind of Devon you want first, moor, coast or farmland, since that will narrow things down faster than the style of stay itself.
