About Cannamore Camping
Whether you're looking to surround yourself with nature or kick back and immerse yourself in the rolling Devon countryside, this almost wild camping and glamping site is an ideal base to set up camp! Facilities are modern and well specified with flushing loos and good hot showers giving that little bit of luxury where it counts. Tents, smaller campers, trailer tents and caravans are all welcome on the select range of unmarked grass pitches. You could spend all day looking at the view and listening to the birdsong or pick up one of the several nearby footpaths and explore the countryside across fields and down almost forgotten shady lanes and tracks. Alternatively, you can opt to stay in one of the spacious bell tents, sleeping either four or five - they are also ideal for couples looking for a private yet roomy glamping escape in the countryside. Interior is unfurnished so don't forget to bring your gear. Your bolthole for two might be the shepherd hut, furnished with a comfy bed, kitchen area and more. It has electric and is pet friendly. Nature is never far away with bumble bees, dragonflies and butterflies all attracted by the wildflower meadow. If you are very lucky you might even get an early morning or late night glimpse of a Roe Deer or two - although they are very shy so you'll need to be very quiet! Dogs are welcome onsite. The site is licensed by the Woodland Champions Club, helping landowners create and manage woodland for the public to enjoy.
Cannamore Camping is open all year round in 2024 and from 02/01 to 21/12 in 2025.
Facilities here include eight toilets, each with its own external door, as well as two combined toilet and shower cabins. Guests in the shepherd's hut enjoy complimentary cereal and cooked breakfast ingredients alongside their own private toilet and shower facilities.
Dartmoor National Park is just a five minute drive from the site.

A lovely quiet site with friendly owners. Beautiful location and light pollution free. Clean and adequate facilities, but due to not much sun the showers were a bit cool as they are solar powered. However we managed and will definitely visit again.
Site's response
Hello, many thanks for your review! Please accept our apologies for the cool shower, we think the gas may have been running low! Our off-grid showers are heated by gas but the water is pumped by solar power. Please do feel free to ping us a text with any issues with the facilities as we can usually sort these pretty quickly! The showers do usually run nice and hot! Thanks again and we'll look forward to your next visit. Best wishes, from the Cannamore Camping team.
Very quiet and tranquil

My stay in the Shepherd’s hut was idyllic, even with some wet weather! The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway in nature, whilst still being very accessible. As a single woman I felt very safe and secure. The hut was well kitted out, clean and cosy. I was pleasantly surprised it also had a small hob/cooker and fridge. There is a separate private bathroom a stone’s throw away, which was clean and well equipped. The shower was the perfect warm temperature too. Roy and Anita were lovely, warm and helpful with great tips on local walks and attractions. I will definitely return, thanks for a wonderful stay.
