Dog-friendly camping in Devon

·

Known for charming villages, fossil-rich coastlines, and expansive moorlands, Devon provides many pet-friendly camping opportunities in South West England for the whole family. Much of Dartmoor National Park’s moorlands, working farms, and archaeological sites are open to four-legged family members. However, the park requires dogs to stay on lead near livestock, during lambing and nesting season (1 March–31 July) and in warm weather. Campers and their pets can stay in one of the park’s campsites, which typically feature showers, flush toilets, and launderettes. At the southern end of Devon, South Devon Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a hiker’s dream with trails that take campers through farmland, coastlines, estuaries, scenic countrysides, and to notable landmarks like Dartmouth Castle and Compass Cove. South Devon has many dog-friendly beaches, though some do not permit dogs during summer months. Instow Beach, Saunton Sands, and Soar Mill Cove are all lovely beaches to take your pooch, provided you have poo bags in tow. The area’s pet-friendly camping spots provide parks and walks where dogs can run free next to meandering streams for quick cool downs. From Dartmoor to ExeterPlymouth to Torquay, some of the UK's most popular and prettiest towns and cities can be found in this county.

Wild About Campers is a peaceful retreat amid spectacular hiking country in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and 25 minutes’ drive from cliff-top treks along the South West Coast Path. The Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis is within 25 minutes’ drive, and if you feel a major shopping expedition coming on, the historic cathedral city of Exeter (35 minutes) will see you right. Both Exmoor and Dartmoor national parks are less than an hour’s drive away, while the pretty neighbouring town of Honiton (10 minutes) offers pubs and tearooms as well as antique shops to browse. But if it’s a rural retreat you’re after, well, this is the place. The camping paddock is surrounded by peaceful farmland and borders the River Otter (look out for the resident beavers, otters and kingfishers, which occasionally appear), so you can fall asleep lulled by the burble of the river along with the distant hoot of barn owls – and wake up fresh in the morning to the sound of birdsong. A popular family-run pub is five minutes’ stroll from the campsite, and you can pick up emergency supplies from a well-stocked village shop run by volunteers (five minutes’ drive).
