What is the peak season in Dartmouth and when should campsites be booked in advance?

The peak season in Dartmouth is summer, so campsites should be booked well in advance if visiting in July and August. Sunny weather is the time for wild swimming along the river or trips to Blackpool Sands beach, but wildlife watching is better in spring and autumn when the water levels are higher. Hikers heading to Dartmoor should prepare for all seasons even in summer, but most trails remain accessible year-round. You can also explore different options for camping near Dartmouth on Hipcamp.
