Barhams Woodland Camping is a family-friendly, off-grid woodland campsite near Dartington, South Devon. Set in a peaceful forest clearing, it offers a magical camping experience that appeals to children and adults alike — with stargazing, campfires, and nature all around. It’s the kind of place that encourages imaginative play, connection to the outdoors, and screen-free bonding time.

The site is deliberately low-impact and off-grid. There’s no electricity or formal entertainment — just woodland, open sky, and space. Families pitch tents under the trees and enjoy the sense of adventure that comes with sleeping among the birds and wildlife. Compost loos, gas-powered showers, and fresh water are provided, and the whole site is eco-conscious and beautifully kept.

For families with children, it’s a safe, car-free zone where den-building, hide-and-seek, and story time around the fire become the main events. And when you want a structured family outing, Pennywell Farm is just 20 minutes away. Children can cuddle miniature pigs, ride tractors, feed goats, and enjoy interactive live shows that make the farm a truly special place to visit. The contrast between the freedom of woodland camping and the structure of a day at Pennywell makes for a well-balanced holiday.

Back at Barhams, families often gather at the communal campfire or enjoy walks through the woods and nearby trails. Dogs are welcome, and the site is never overcrowded, so there's always room to explore.

It’s a place where you can switch off from everyday life and reconnect with what really matters — fresh air, simple pleasures, and the joy of spending time as a family.
