Waterside Camping in Exmoor National Park

Exmoor National Park packs in over 650 waterside camping options, each promising a different slice of rugged moorland and tranquil rivers.

Expect facilities that cover the basics—showers, toilets, and pet-friendly spots are everywhere. Prices range from as little as £10 a night, with most sites averaging around £80. For tried-and-tested favourites, South Dean Camping (169 reviews), Brig's Farm (66 reviews), and Westland Farm (46 reviews) top the list—each spot regularly praised for a friendly welcome and easy access to the park’s winding streams and hidden ponds.
