Dan’s Wild Camping is a back-to-basics, family-friendly campsite offering an off-grid, immersive outdoor experience in the South Devon countryside. With a focus on sustainability, space, and natural living, it’s the perfect place for families who want to unplug and spend quality time together — without distractions.

Set on a working farm, the site offers a limited number of generous grass pitches spread across a large field, surrounded by trees and fields. There’s no electricity or Wi-Fi — just campfires, stargazing, and the sounds of nature. Facilities are eco-friendly, with composting toilets, a freshwater tap, and a basic outdoor shower setup.

Kids can roam freely, build dens, and explore the woods, while parents can enjoy the peace and simplicity that comes from reconnecting with nature. Campfires are allowed, and guests are encouraged to bring their own fire pits and cooking gear for a truly authentic experience.

The site is just a short drive from Pennywell Farm, making it ideal for families looking to combine a rustic camping experience with a magical day out. At Pennywell, children can cuddle miniature pigs, take tractor rides, feed animals, and enjoy live shows — all within easy reach of your tent.

Dan’s Wild Camping is not about luxury, but about real connection: to nature, to each other, and to what makes Devon such a special place for families.

Lovely day out, went as a date and there was a surprising amount to see and experience for two grown adults! Just make sure you both enjoy the presence of animals!

A lovely family day out. My granddaughter really enjoyed seeing all the animals. So much to see and do! We enjoyed feeding the goats and all the animals seemed happy in their surroundings. The deer were beautiful too.

A brilliant day out for all the family, from 18 month olds to 85 years old the whole family will enjoy, a jam packed full day of talks, shows and activities as well as petting area and goat bottle feeding to name a few full list in pictures below. Brilliant family run business that seems to be constantly reinvesting in its growth. Great indoor picnic area with big bouncy castles to keep the kids busy while you eat in peace.

Great place to make a family trip to. All kind of entertaining activities, from Piggy races, to Small animal cuddles, to animal feeding, indoor jumping castles, toddler areas, trampolines, shows, and etc. Always a pleasure, whenever I have visited so far. Keep up the good work Pennywell.

We visited Pennywell last night for their pumpkin night. It was perfect in every way. Great pizzas and drinks on offer, so many perfect photo opportunities, our kids had fun in the new play area and especially enjoyed roasting marshmallows.
