Lydford Caravan and Camping Park is known by its regular visitors for its sense of peace, beauty and tranquillity. The caravan site offers a host of stunning views of the nearby Dartmoor Tors and is set in three main fields divided by attractive hedgerows and trees. You will have a choice of both level and gently sloping pitches, either hardstanding or grass to ensure you have the caravan spot that suits you best.
Within easy reach from the caravan site you will find Lydford village, once a tinners stannary town and steeped in rich local history. Amongst its many attractions are a charming Norman castle and an ancient church which still boasts original ninth century connections. Most famous perhaps is Lydford Gorge, the deepest gorge in the south of England which stretches from the ominously named Devil's Cauldron whirlpool to the dramatic White Lady Waterfall, making for an exciting 3.5 mile circular walk. There are limitless additional walks and cycling routes close to the Lydford Caravan and Camping Park and a number of lovely National Trust properties to explore.

This is our "go to" site as it ticks all our boxes. We travel from the New Forest area so Dartmoor is perfect for us to walk with our 2 cocker spaniels. The site wardens are so welcoming and always seem to be busy ensuring that the facilities... Show more

A lovely site, fantastic location, pretty village, friendly and helpful wardens and immaculately maintained. The gorge is great (though care at the moment as the link walk is closed so more difficult to access if, like me, you walked there). Easy access to Dartmoor. Tavistock and Okehampton lovely market towns.... Show more

My dog walk around the tent field is beautifully maintained of reasonable length with many poo bins; you can walk into Lydford village and to Gorge. The village pub looked nice but I don't drink so did not enter. The hardstanding pitches are not as well spaced out as... Show more

We visited in mid-June and were welcomed on to a very well managed site. Our hardstanding pitch was very level and the toilet block had a good 'accessible' toilet and shower which was a boon for us. We had to pay the balance for our stay one month in advance,... Show more

A warm welcome and a beautiful well run site. Walking from the site is superb and there’s a lovely pub in the village. COVID security arrangements were good and observed by everyone. Hope to go back next year.
