Campsites with rock climbing in Dartmoor National Park

·

Climbers flock to Dartmoor National Park for its granite tors, boulder-strewn hillsides, and rugged crags—ideal for anyone itching to get on the rock. You’ll find over 180 campsites in the park that welcome climbers, with pitches scattered near classic routes and tucked beside wild moorland. Prices range widely, with a few spots as low as £10 a night and an average night costing £55. Facilities often include toilets, showers, and space for pets, so you can stay comfortable after a long day on the granite. Regulars rave about The Enchanted Wilderness (28 reviews) for its friendly vibe; The Camping Field (19 reviews) for direct access to open moor; and Strawfields Cabins and Camping (14 reviews) for its secluded pitches and good facilities. Between climbs, watch for wild ponies or take a swim in a hidden pool. Dartmoor delivers the real deal—no fuss, just wild country and hard rock.

16 units · Tents · Sidmouth, Devon, South West England
Set in a peaceful, rural location in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Fire Beacon Camping is a fabulous location for a countryside escape, 1.5 miles along a traditional Devon country lane, when you arrive the views of Devon countryside, will not disappoint! Perfectly situated for stunning sunsets and the best starry night skies, how many shooting stars will you see? (weather permitting) This is a tranquil, off grid nearly wild campsite, with a strong eco ethos with views across to Exmoor, composting toilet facilities, and recycling facilities. the wildlife is abundant, all the pitches are extremely generously sized and a Fire Pit provided for each one. It's a 10 minute drive to Sidmouth with its beautiful beaches and wide range of Independent shops, Cafes and pubs, and 10 minutes drive in the opposite direction to Ottery St Mary, which also boasts a wide range of Independent shops, there are also plenty of Farm Shops in the area. There is no end of wonderful beaches to explore along the Jurassic coastline. From Fossil hunting in Lyme Regis to the East, the quaint fishing village of Beer to massive golden sandy beaches in Exmouth to the west. With lots of woodland walks on the 'doorstep' the East Devon Way is a 5 minute walk away, 15 minutes walk to the Fire Beacon Nature Reserve and for keen hikers, we're close to the South West Coast Path. For mountain bikers, there are some great routes in the local woodlands and bike routes are also close by with the challenging River Exe Loop and family bike routes along the Otter river less than 15 minutes’ drive away.
