    Overview

    Explore the rugged wilderness of Dartmoor National Park from Tavistock Camping and Caravanning Club Site.

    • Gateway to Dartmoor National Park, located on western boundary
    • Incredible walking and cycling straight from site
    • World heritage town Tavistock just two miles away
    • Some of the darkest skies in the country for stargazing
    • Natural beauty such as waterfalls and gorges nearby
    • “We loved the natural look of the site with wildflowers and trees.” Jackie Cresswell


    Best for

    Hikers and walkers, stargazers, nature lovers, tranquillity seekers


    Lying on the edge of the astounding beauty of Dartmoor National Park, Tavistock Club Site is a home-from-home for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers. From the rolling wilderness of the moors to the ancient market town that the site is named after, Tavistock will help you rediscover your appetite for adventure.


    Spacious and accommodating

    This spacious campsite can accommodate all unit types and features modern facilities, including laundry, a washing-up area, and two large, enclosed dog walks. There are even some holiday cottages available to hire adjacent to the site. It’s the ideal rest spot to relax after a hard day’s hiking on Dartmoor or a day of sightseeing.


    Better than five-star camping

    Cyclists can join National Cycle Route 274 (Ilfracombe to Plymouth) just 200 yards from the site, while walkers can plan awe-inspiring ambles at the Dartmoor National Park visitor centre in Princetown. On the banks of the River Tavy lies the world heritage town of Tavistock, with grand architecture and cosy places to eat and drink. As the sun begins to set, don’t forget to look up and take in the majestic beauty of the night sky – Dartmoor is known for its dark skies.

    Local area

    Foggintor Quarry

    Situated amongst granite boulders on a flat and desolate area of Dartmoor, Foggintor Quarry is an abandoned pit with glistening water at the bottom. Today, it’s used for adventure sports such as rock climbing, wild swimming, abseiling, hiking and scuba diving.

    Brentor Church

    Standing isolated atop a hill on the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park, the Church of St Michael de Rupe boasts magnificent views of the Devon countryside. Dating back to the 13th century, the church was once used as a Beacon tower to spread word of approaching enemies.

    Lydford Gorge

    With a spectacular plunge of 30m, Lydford Gorge is the deepest waterfall gorge in the South-West. Stroll along one of the various paths to the gorge and marvel at this natural wonder whilst keeping an eye out for dippers and wagtails.

    Dartmoor National Park

    Teeming with wild woodland, overgrown moorland, idyllic hamlets and meandering rivers, the Dartmoor National Park is a diverse landscape in the heart of Devon. Whether you want a relaxing break, or an adrenaline-fuelled adventure, there’s something to do here for the whole family.
