About Example Campsite & Glamping
We run a small campsite and glamping field on the edge of Bovey Tracey, close enough to Dartmoor to walk onto the moor within the hour. Our aim has always been a quieter, better looked after site rather than the largest one in the area.
The site opened on land that had been part of a family farm for several generations, with the first pitches marked out in a single field behind the farmhouse. Camping was a way to make use of ground that no longer suited the farm's main work and it grew from there.
We have added facilities gradually, from the shower block in the early years to the glamping field and shepherd's huts more recently, always trying to keep pace with what guests actually asked for rather than what looked impressive on paper. The site has never been the biggest in the area and we are comfortable with that.
Our small team lives locally and knows Dartmoor well, which means we can point guests towards a quiet walk or a good pub rather than reading from a leaflet. Most of the people who work here started out as guests themselves.
What you can expect from us
Kept deliberately small
We would rather run a site we can look after properly than grow beyond what our team can manage.
Quiet by design
Generous pitch spacing and set quiet hours mean the site stays restful even on a busy weekend.
Local knowledge
Our team lives nearby and can point guests towards the walks and pubs that suit them, not just the obvious ones.
