Tavistock Camping And Caravanning Club Site

Tavistock Camping and Caravanning Club Site sits on the western edge of Dartmoor National Park at Moorshop, about two miles from the world heritage market town of Tavistock in Devon. It is a genuine gateway to the moor, with walking and cycling straight from the site, and it is one of the better spots in the country for stargazing thanks to Dartmoor's famously dark skies. The Club site accepts all unit types on a mix of grass pitches with or without electric hook-up, hardstandings with hook-up and super-service pitches with water and drainage, plus seasonal pitches. It is worth knowing that the grass-only pitches slope and are not suited to motorhomes, and that the surrounding lanes are narrow, so following a SatNav in is not advised. Facilities are modern, with laundry, washing-up, a shop, WiFi, family and accessible rooms and two enclosed dog walks, and there are holiday cottages next door to hire. This suits walkers, cyclists, nature lovers and stargazers who want an easy Dartmoor base, and it welcomes non-members, though members get the best price. National Cycle Route 274 joins just 200 yards away, and Lydford Gorge and the Princetown visitor centre are close. The site is open all year, with member pitches from £9.30 per person per night, booked through the Club.
