I first came here to meet up with friends. We were parked near each other up in the field and in the evening, had a lovely chilled time out under the stars, round the fire pit by the stream. The next day we walked across the moor and down the lane to the pub in South Brent, it was a couple of miles walk, but worth it.
Being a lover of Dartmoor, walking and letterboxing, I have been back a few times since, usually stopping for a day or two on my way up and down from Cornwall.
From the site you are straight onto the moor, and I have walked from there around the Avon Dam, to Princetown on the Abbot's way and left the van there for a few days while I walked the ancient boundary with the tent.
Have also visited Totnes and Torbay with the paddleboard while staying here and have mountain biked from there also.
It is a basic wild camping site, but the compost loos are clean and the shower works well. If you need evening entertainment and normal flushing loos, this isn't for you, I am pretty self sufficient and prefer a quiet no frills site, so for me it's perfect. There is little phone signal, so download any thing you need beforehand, though there is wifi down by the house. Water and a few hook ups are there also if you need them. Convenience stores are about a ten minute drive to South Brent or Buckfastliegh, though you could also walk to them, the lanes are pretty quiet.
It's not far from the A38 at Marley Head, then a few miles up the lanes. It may take a couple of times to remember how to get there. Easy when you know the turnings, a couple of options, depending on which way you're coming from and the size of your vehicle.
Te owner was helpful, though I was left alone once I knew where I was parking up and I have bought wood off them a couple of times for the fire pit and BBQ.
Can't fault the place, I'm sure I'll be back again this year when it reopens for the summer.
My husband and I enjoyed 10 days of bliss camping next to two ponds full of life (tadpoles, frogs, all sorts of colourful dragonflies) and a stream set back from the spacious camp site in woods - a wonderful retreat from the hot summer sun. We had food cooked over a fire every night and slept so well listening to the birds early in the morning.
Our two young nephews and their father joined us over the weekend. They loved the compost loo which was a novelty to them - we all dubbed it the 'Thunder Box'. They could run around and play cricket in the massive field which they had all to themselves. They also loved going down to a deep part of the stream close to the farmhouse to have a swim.
The farm is also well-situated right at the edge of Dartmoor and a very scenic walk to Avon Dam. Riley, the farm Labrador is very friendly and good with our nephews and took us for a walk around the farm!
The campsite is well-managed; the compost loo is clean and was emptied every day. Sarah, who runs Dartmoor Camping on Reddacleave Farm, was very friendly and always ready to help with anything.
Oh, we loved Reddacleave Farm. It was a real antidote after a busy, rule-heavy campsite. It isn’t camping for the faint hearted- more like slightly civilised wild camping- but what a place, and what views!
The four EHU hook up spots are in a field directly behind the farmhouse- the non electric spots are strung out at varying points along their adjoining land, right up to the moor. These spots were really idyllic and you would always be alone/in your own group in these.
Very friendly welcome & pleasant, helpful family. Not far from the A38 (10 mins) but somehow quite a challenge to find, but worth it when you do- like uncovering a secret!
Very basic facilities, as mentioned, but the composting loos were changed daily and a hot shower with a view of woodland- gorgeous!
Nothing in casual walking distance, - except the moor(!) so you would want to either stay put and be self sufficient or be prepared to drive for food etc.
We were exceptionally lucky with the weather & the fact we had the EHU field to ourselves for our visit, which made it utterly peaceful!
We had a wonderful stay, in a perfect little campsite. It's gave us to opportunity to have a technology free getaway, where the children could be children, and explore the beautiful surroundings.
We had an EHU pitch with access to our own firepit and compost toilet, as well as use of the hot shower.
Our pitch was a stones throw from the river where the children enjoyed much of their time, they also had use of a little play park, football goal and free reign across the fields.
The owners were so welcoming, and my children had their own host in the form of the owners daughter who showed them the site and provided them with a beautifully enriching stay.
Locally there is a great mix of things to do and the owner have provided lots of details of places to go and things to do.
We had campfires in the evening and so much fun during the day. It was also blissfully peaceful being away in the countryside. It's a site that takes you back to the basics of camping, with a perfect blend of simple amenities to help make a comfortable stay. via mobile
Booked by email, although email address (name) may be previous owner/family. Seem to be branding as “Dartmoor Camping”.
Site is a few fields behind the farm house. Small paddock with EHUs down one side, just our campervan and a long-stay tent when we stayed, with stream alongside. Other fields available for more wild camping (no facilities), so lots of space available.
Compost toilets are OK. Gas fired shower (effectively outdoor) was a shock but OK for 2 days. But exactly as advertised. Torches essential.
Direct access onto Dartmoor from the fields, for wild exploration. Not far from Avon Dam Reservoir, but you need to be able to navigate with map to get there.
We paid £28 for 2 adults, pitch and EHU; not cheap but trading on the location. And paid in advance online.
Words can't describe how surprised I was to find out just what a gem of a place Reddacleave Farm truly is. The pictures of this site don't do it justice!
We had a huge field to ourselves where our dog could mooch about freely and uninterrupted.
At the top of the field are 2 gates leading straight onto the moor! 11 miles of hiking and we met one other person.
My family & I stayed here last week (August 2022), there were 9 of us in total, oldest being 56 and youngest being 3, we had the most wonderful 3 nights and I cannot fault a single thing!
We originally booked 1 pitch with electrical hook up and one wild camping but on arrival the wild camping spot was so amazing we decided to brave the 3 nights without electric so we could all be together.
We had an entire area to ourselves, not another tent in sight, there was ample space including a picnic bench, our own eco toilet (which the host emptied and cleaned EVERY DAY), access to the river and even a fire pit to roast marshmallows (which we didn't actually use due to the ban because of the heatwave - we weren't complaining!)
The farm itself is idyllic, if youre after peace and tranquility this site is for you.
On arrival you're greeted by their dog and two pet sheep (bottle feeding at 9am each morning which the kids loved!), there's access to the river for swimming and they even had inflatables for the kids! Also, powerful hot shower at the main sight bit.
The hosts were both super lovely and accommodating and our children loved playing with their daughter and were very sad to leave her!
There's wonderful walks all across Dartmoor national park which is absolutely stunning.
Beaches short drive a way. We went to Hope Cove which was great for the kids as had rock pools and sand - it was also quite quiet which was a surprise as we went on a boiling hot day in August!
Cannot find a single thing to fault and we hope to be back again soon, my eldest is already nagging to go back and see Harriette!
Thanks so much! via mobile
