Appledore Park

Appledore Park is a quiet, couple orientated touring park near Sampford Courtenay and Okehampton in Devon, just seven minutes from the A30 on the edge of Dartmoor. This five star VisitEngland park covers eight acres with 40 level touring pitches, offered as grass or hardstanding with 16 amp electric hook-up and drinking water to each bollard, plus room for an awning and car. There is a separate area for tents. It stays open twelve months of the year, so it works as a base for Dartmoor walking in any season, with the Cornish border about twenty miles away along the A30 for easy days out. Facilities are a strong point, with an underfloor heated toilet and shower block, privacy cubicles, an accessible washroom, a washing up and vegetable preparation area, WiFi and good digital TV reception. Well behaved dogs are welcome, up to three per pitch, with responsible owners. The park describes itself as quiet and couple orientated, so it suits touring couples and calm family stays rather than anyone after a busy holiday park with pools, bars and kids' clubs. Appledore Park has picked up Devon and South West tourism awards and a David Bellamy conservation award, and thousands of trees have been planted on site.
