Cannamore Camping offers almost wild camping on grass pitches over two fields. Dartmoor is easy to reach by car, bike or on foot and you'll enjoy access to the beautiful South Devon coast, a twenty minute car ride away. Choose your pitch in a wildflower meadow with wide-ranging views of the rolling South Hams countryside or pick a spot on the lower field, a more secluded alternative. Cosy bell tents and a glamping hut too.

A hidden gem

A gem of a site. Tucked away down a small lane, this site was tranquil and offered extensive views over the landscape of the South Hams. The camping field was situated behind some agricultural buildings and was approached by a short shady drive. There were the necessary basic facilities, spotlessly clean, a shed with a freezer (with some freezer blocks to borrow), and a 240v socket for charging phones. The site allowed BBQs (we didn't), and, I think, also sold charcoal. We stayed for a week after the half term holidays, and were the only tent for some of the time. We were joined in the field later by another couple, and two families with kids camping together. The pitches are mown in a meadow, spaced a very log way apart, and offering various views. There was a shepherd's caravan to rent at the top of the field. The site had an unusual arrangement of individual toilet/washbasin rooms, each with its own personal key. There were two spacious shower rooms with washbasin & WC, and unrestricted hot water. These are accessed with a key in a key safe by the door. The level of security is to prevent unauthorised camping. The owner, Roy, was friendly, warm, and welcoming. He took the time to make sure we had all we needed. There was an outside washing up sink for campers. The only improvement I could see would be the addition of a small roof over the sink area against inclement weather. The location is just south of the A38, giving easy access to most of south Devon. There was a faint background noise from the A38, but not at all intrusive. If you had kids who love the outdoors, this would be a good location to camp. We had a great time, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Upon arrival we met with the site owner Roy who went over the use of facilities and presented us with a key to our own private toilet! Toilet and showers were immaculately clean (there are two showers, both with a toilet so great for people with young children). We had a choice of where we pitched up and chose one near a drinking water tap, of which there are several around the site. Pitches were spacious and well spaced from one another. The views were stunning and the site was spacious and just wild enough with flowers and meadow grass between the pitches to feel truly out in amongst nature! There was also a cute little shepherds hut for those who are more into the glamping way of camping. We were just sad we could only stay two nights, but coming from Plymouth this site would definitely go on our list for a return visit.

Needed somewhere to stay near to Ivybridge and found the Shepherd's Hut almost by chance. What a fantastic little gem of a hut. It's compact, but literally has everything you need, it was spotlessly clean and the host was extremely generous with the welcome pack and very helpful and friendly too. The hut has an electric heater plus a log burner so you'll never be cold and it looks out across the camping area and the hills beyond. The shower and toilet are literally 10 strides away in a separate hut, but are yours alone and again, spotlessly clean. Shower is large with an endless supply of hot water. My first stay won't be my last!

Many thanks for your glowing review! I think you have made a great summary of what a stay in the Shepherd's Hut has to offer! Best wishes from the Cannamore Camping team.

We turned up on a wet & windy bank holiday in March. We met Roy from the site, who was very helpful and found us a lovely spot out of the wind. Great, peaceful place to visit.

This small site is set in a lovely rural location within easy reach of all the tourist spots (by car) in Devon and Cornwall. The facilities were spotless and we had a key to our own toilet. Most pitches are sloping to some degree but we didn’t find this a problem. Lovely, friendly owners. Would definitely use this site again.

Just a lovely campsite to stay at. If you want peace, quiet & fantastic scenery, this is the place to go. The facilities are fantastic and so clean. Never seen campsite facilities kept so clean. You have your own toilet with a key. The owners are also lovely people, nothing is too much trouble. Can't wait to go back.

A really gorgeous campsite with very helpful owners Matt and Roy (and Claire who welcomed us when we arrived slightly early). It was great having our own loo! Very good showers. Beautiful views and we thoroughly enjoyed camping right next to the wildflower meadow. Would definitely return. About 20 mins walk on to Dartmoor. Another time we may bring our car too and just park it so we can explore further afield easily as we had our campervan this time. Will definitely return and have already recommended it to friends.

Many thanks for your kind review! We have 10 loos on site and do try to allocate one to pitch to one loo where possible. It is just nicer that way! There are some really nice footpaths and lanes around the edge of the moor to explore on foot or by bike. All around South Brent, Owley and Aish. Quite hilly though being Dartmoor! Many thanks from all at Cannamore Camping.

The campsite is good, with a beautiful view. It is on a hill but the pitches are quite level. Toilets and showers were clean. Not many other facilities available but it is a minimalistic campsite. We really enjoyed our stay.

Campsite owner (Ron) very polite and welcoming. Toilets and showers kept to a lovely standard and seemed to be cleaned daily. Completely accessible water and bins and the campsite is located next to a field with cows (if you think cows are cute) so major bonus. Had a very enjoyable stay!!
Site's response
Thanks for your kind review, I'll pass that on to Roy (Ron)! We can't guarantee cows as they can be quite seasonal but there are often some to look at. Many thanks!

A very special and beautiful spot right on the edge of the moor with pitches spread out effectively for lots of privacy, and views of rolling countryside. There are lots of clean toilets and showers. The owners were very friendly. Lovely local pub just down the road.

What a fab site, felt like we were wild camping but with the comfort of a shower and a loo! Spotlessly clean showers and toilets. Lovely warm welcome from Roy, who clearly loves what he does, keep up the great work. Fantastic views across Devon rolling hills. We met Anita on our way out after packing up our tent, she was preparing the Shepherds Hut for the next guest and was equally enthusiastic and offered to show me the Shepherds Hut, a great alternative in the cooler months, very quaint and cosy. The only negative - we were unable to get hot water for pot washing, but this did not spoil our stay at this wonderful site.

Thank you for your kind review! I will pass on your feedback about the hot water, it's a challenge on an off-grid site and we'd like to find an eco-friendly solution! Glad you had a good time otherwise! Many thanks.

As you enter the wooded tunnel entrance it felt like you were in a fairy tale. At the other end we were greeted with a big warm smile from Roy and the beautiful camping meadows he has created. Pitches were well placed and cut out in the long grass. Main facilities are in the top meadow and were clean, well maintained and the shower was lovely. There were also toilet facilities in the lower meadow. At Cannamore it’s all about peace, nature and appreciating the importance of the meadows and the wildlife they attract. Thank you Roy and team for this amazing place and for making us feel so welcome. It was great chatting with you about the area and finding out about your family’s farming history as well as your continuing good work regards the meadows and wildlife pond.
