River Dart Country Park

About

Set in over 90 acres of parkland within Dartmoor National Park, adjacent to River Dart on the edge of Dartmoor, the River Dart Country Park has been one of Devon’s best-loved family tourist attractions and campsites for over twenty years. Also an award-winning tourist attraction, the holiday park is packed with great things to do for the whole family, so arrive early for a great day out, or book a pitch and stay longer to really savour the experience and explore more of this wonderful region.

Over 25 attractions for the whole family are included in the price of admission and the camping and caravan holiday park is open from Easter until September. Guests will have free entry to the attractions and with generous sized pitches and excellent camping facilities for a range of tents or caravans, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy on your break.

If you’re looking for the perfect campsite in Devon, you need not look much further. Rated 4 pennants, River Dart Country Park is the perfect base for a camping holiday to explore Devon or, if you want to hit two counties with one stone, we’re even well placed to explore parts of Cornwall.

We offer everything that camping in the great outdoors is all about: nights under canvas, open air cooking and perhaps even a little star gazing! Camping pitches and facilities are set within mature parkland and bordered by woodland. Our campsite has generous, neat and individually marked and numbered pitches. The campsite Shop stocks everyday items from newspapers to groceries, meat for the BBQ and emergency camping equipment from torches to toothbrushes, just in case anything gets left behind while you’re doing that last-minute packing!

Our well-maintained amenity blocks have free hot showers, washing up facilities, disabled facilities and coin operated laundry rooms. Guests staying at the Park have free access to our award-winning day visitor attraction - River Dart Adventures! Dare Devils not included.
Located all around the park and just waiting to be discovered, there's an adventure around every corner! Try your hand at our Commando Assault course (for big and little children!), sail the high seas on our Pirate Ship and for the younger members of the family, we have a Toddler’s beach and playground (Lilliput).

Other games and play areas include Spider’s web, Wooden play fort, Cow’s Udders, Snake Slides, Zip wires, Jungle Fun, Agility Trail, Climbing Pods, Low ropes course and much, much more... If you want to find out more, visit our website and see our videos.

The extensive playgrounds have something for all ages, for children big and small, so families staying over need not worry about keeping the kids entertained. We also offer a number of instructor lead activities, including high ropes and water zorbs (there is an extra cost for this). While the children are off having fun, parents can relax in our fully licenced café bar and or grab supplies from our shop.

For those wanting to explore the rest of the region while you’re with us, we’re located within the Dartmoor National Park which has plenty of rugged moorland to explore. We’re also close to the South Devon Heritage Coastline offering unspoiled cliff walks, hidden beach coves and lighthouses, plus wonderful sandy beaches. You can even take the steam train to nearby places such as Totnes. Other attractions, such as Buckfast Abbey, Powderham Castle and Paignton Zoo are all nearby and if you’re looking for something a little more grown up, you can visit Dartington Cider press or the nearby cities of Exeter and Plymouth. Our team are always happy to help and can offer the best advice on places to visit.
