Fox And Hounds Camp Site

Fox and Hounds Camp Site is the camping and caravanning ground attached to the Fox and Hounds Hotel, a family-run inn on the western edge of Dartmoor at Bridestowe near Okehampton in Devon. The same family has run the place for more than 50 years, and the moor is reached straight from a trackway behind the hotel, which makes it a genuine walkers' base. Modern camping and caravanning facilities take tents, caravans and motorhomes, with electric hook-ups and wheelchair-accessible provision, and a separate camping barn offers simple hostel-style bunk accommodation for groups. The pull here is the inn on your doorstep: two bars, a restaurant, a games room with pool and darts, a skittle alley, a beer garden and an outdoor children's play area, so evenings need not involve a cold camp stove. Dogs are welcome and the site stays open all year, which is unusual for this part of Devon. Bridestowe sits close to Lydford Gorge, the Granite Way cycle route and the reopened Okehampton to Exeter railway, with a bus stopping outside the hotel. It suits walkers, families and touring groups who like a pint within staggering distance. Book the Fox and Hounds Camp Site direct through the hotel, which handles pitches alongside its rooms.
