Private campsites in Blackdown Hills AONB

·

Marking the meeting point of Devon and Somerset, this modestly sized Area of Natural Beauty encapsulates quintessential English countryside—the perfect setting for a camping holiday. The tranquil region’s working farmland, winding waterways, and ancient woodlands are ideal for rambling, cycling, or horse riding, and can be explored year-round. A range of camping options include back-to-basics sites, traditional farm camps, and modern glamping sites, often relatively isolated and near a mosaic of ridges, high plateaus, wild valleys, and freshwater springs.

The Pavilion is a great place to rest and strike out from. The beach is 1.5 miles away. It is on a network of footpaths in the middle of it's own organic farmland. Bridport and Lyme Regis offer plenty of art and culture and are reknown for food, River Cottage and the Jurassic Coast. There is nothing better than being warm and cosy around the wood burner looking out at the great views. The Pavilion is good for couples, solo adventurers, art lovers, foodies and furry friends (pets)..

England · 6 units
Set in four and a half acres of gorgeous Devon countryside near Okehampton, Middle Corscombe Farm is a splendid spot for rural stays for large family groups, single families or loved-up couples. Whether you’re after a stroll to spot the wildlife (look out for deer leaping across the meadow), helping the kids to build a den or enjoying a picnic by a gurgling stream, there’s plenty of room for everyone to lose themselves around the grounds. Kids can play Pooh sticks, and you can all watch the sunset together from around the campfire or eat alfresco on warmer days. If the weather's behaving, have a leisurely dip in the swimming pool (open during high season only). On any rainy days, magic your cares away in the sauna (also only open during high season), or simply drift down to the repurposed hay barn to cook and chat with fellow guests in the campers’ kitchen (powered by wind turbine and a solar panels, so eco-credentials are excellent here) and dine out on the decking. Feeling idle? Laze away the hours on nattily upcycled denim sofas in the living area; if the kids get restless, send them to burn off energy with a game of pool or table football. If you need to restock edible goodies, supermarkets in Okehampton (10 minutes’ drive) are your best bet. Note that disposable barbecues are not permitted on site.

Private campsites in Blackdown Hills AONB guide

Where to go

Chard

On the eastern border of the Blackdown Hills, this countryside parish is a convenient launch point for exploration of South Somerset and Devon, with the seaside town of Lyme Regis just 30 minutes’ drive away. The surrounding area is home to touring parks, working farms, and exclusive glampsites, offering plenty of overnight accommodation under the stars.

Cullompton and the Culm Valley

West of the Blackdown Hills AONB, this rural region offers something for every Hipcamper. Campsites are easy to find, many offering caravan spots, secluded glampsites, and tent pitches. Walking and riding trails along the Culm Valley toward Hemyock reveal historic landmarks, riverside villages, and an array of native wildlife.

Honiton

Just 30 minutes’ train ride from Exeter St Davids and connected directly to London Waterloo, Honiton is an ideal destination for car-free adventurers. Wild-style pitches, working farms, and glamping lodges are popular, with many campers drawn to the picturesque banks of the River Otter.

East Devon AONB

Adjoining the Blackdown Hills to the south, this diverse landscape is also worth exploring, especially for anglers, birdwatchers, and watersports fans. A vast network of footpaths, riding routes, and nature trails guide adventurers through heathland, forests, and along World Heritage-listed coastline, while an array of holiday parks, farm pitches, and glamping accommodations provide plenty of camping options.
