Dartmoor Halfway Inn Campsite is a family-friendly campsite set in a peaceful meadow behind a historic countryside inn on the edge of Dartmoor. Located just outside the market town of Newton Abbot, the site offers easy access to the wild landscapes of Dartmoor and is only a 25-minute drive from the family favourite Pennywell Farm.
With large grassy pitches, countryside surroundings, and convenient facilities, the site offers families a great balance of nature, space, and comfort. Children can enjoy the open field for games and exploration, while adults appreciate the ease of having a pub just a few steps away — offering hearty meals, drinks, and a relaxed beer garden atmosphere.
Accommodation options include tent pitches, touring and motorhome bays, and optional electric hook-up. On-site amenities include modern toilets and hot showers, washing-up facilities, water points, and access to pub Wi-Fi during opening hours. Dogs are welcome, and the environment is safe and quiet enough for children to play freely.
Families often choose Dartmoor Halfway Inn Campsite not just for its laid-back charm, but for its location — a perfect middle point between Dartmoor’s open spaces and Pennywell Farm’s hands-on animal experiences. Pennywell’s miniature pigs, tractor rides, and interactive shows make it one of Devon’s most treasured attractions for younger children, and being so close gives parents an easy day trip to plan into their stay.
It’s also ideal for first-time campers or families looking to ease into the experience — thanks to its small size, gentle atmosphere, and the added security of pub staff nearby. Kids will love the wide-open field and evening wildlife spotting, while parents can enjoy a pint in the garden with the peace of mind that everything is right at hand.
Whether you’re in a tent, campervan, or simply stopping over as part of a longer South Devon holiday, Dartmoor Halfway Inn Campsite is an easygoing, welcoming spot that works beautifully as a base for visiting Pennywell Farm.
