Campsites for hikers in Exmoor National Park

·

Set up your tent in Exmoor National Park and step straight onto hiking trails that cut through wooded valleys, open moorland, and rugged coast. With over 880 tent camping options that cater to walkers, you’ll find sites just a stone’s throw from some of the park’s finest footpaths. Expect showers, toilets, and campfires allowed at most spots, plus the chance to spot red deer or watch the sun dip behind heather-covered hills. Top picks include South Dean Camping (169 reviews) for its sweeping views, Brig's Farm (66 reviews) for easy trail access, and Wookey Farm (64 reviews) for riverside pitches. Nightly rates start at just £9, averaging £70. Bring your boots and a weatherproof layer—the forecast often changes as quickly as the views.

Bude , England · 25 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
This peaceful, sheltered site has a special character. The site is the ideal place to unwind with plenty of safe space, a meandering river and friendly atmosphere. It offers 4 acres with facilities, 7 acres of wilderness, shower block, level pitches, picturesque river, children’s playground and has been rated AA 4 star gold pennant. Becky and John both love Cornwall and fell in love with the site as soon as they saw it and it provided the perfect opportunity for a new challenge. Having only recently taken over at Willow Valley in the Summer of 2024, there are always ongoing improvements being made so make sure you keep in touch. Any returning campers will be glad to know we aren’t changing the campsite itself though. Why would we when it is already so perfect!
