Best Glamping in Devon

Glamping accommodation and extras in Devon

• Proper beds and private space — the core difference from traditional camping
• Wood-fired hot tubs — available at many sites
• Outdoor pizza ovens and fire pits — popular extras worth checking for
• Setting options — peaceful farmland, rolling countryside, or sites on the edge of Dartmoor or Exmoor
• Coastal sites — put Devon’s beaches directly on your doorstep

Where to go glamping near the Devon coast

• English Riviera (Torquay) — beaches, attractions and seaside entertainment; especially popular for family holidays. Wall Park Glamping Pods in Brixham is only a a 10-minute walk to the beach.
• Woolacombe & Croyde Bay — well-known surf beaches on the north coast
• Westward Ho! — sandy beach with surf schools, another strong family-friendly base
• North Devon coast (Hartland) — dramatic cliff walks and coastal scenery, with good pub lunches to follow
• Salcombe — a well-regarded south coast option

Where to go glamping near Dartmoor and Exmoor

Dartmoor National Park offers scenic walking trails, rugged moorland and wide open views. Nearby towns worth exploring include:

Lynton & Lynmouth — distinct coastal character close to Exmoor
Ilfracombe — coastal charm with its own attractions

Places to explore during your Devon glamping break

• Clovelly — a traffic-free, cobbled village that tumbles down to a working harbour, with museums, craft shops and tea rooms; donkey rides or a Land Rover trip back up the hill are a popular touch with kids
• Dartmouth — a harbour town on the River Dart with a strong food and drink scene; a passenger ferry to Kingswear opens up coastal walks with views back over the town
• Totnes — an independent-spirited market town with street food markets and an arts scene; Totnes Castle, a well-preserved Norman motte-and-bailey, sits at the top of the high street
• Brixham — a working fishing harbour known for fresh seafood straight off the quayside; the replica of Francis Drake’s Golden Hind is a good family stop
• Exeter — Devon’s historic capital, home to a cathedral, an independent shopping quarter, and underground Roman passages open for guided tours

Devon cream teas and local food

Cream teas are a Devon institution — and locals take the jam-versus-cream-first debate seriously. Tearooms and farm shops are widespread across the county, and Devon’s food scene more broadly includes strong local seafood, artisan dairy produce, farmers’ markets and well-regarded restaurants.

Is glamping in Devon good for families?

Yes. Family-friendly coastal bases like Torquay and Westward Ho! combine beaches with easy attractions, while inland sites near Dartmoor suit families wanting walking and open space. Look for sites offering:

• Enough sleeping capacity for the whole family in one unit
• Enclosed outdoor space or a safe garden area
• Proximity to family attractions such as Clovelly or Brixham’s harbour
