Dan’s Wild Camping

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.
