Advice, questions and answers



"Where can I pitch my Tent?"



We do not offer fixed pitches, instead we offer the ability to pitch your tent where you like in the camping field. Prime locations or pitches cannot be reserved and are only on a first come first basis.



"Apart from normal camping gear, what do I need?"



Our position in Dartmoor means we are higher up / more exposed to weather. Meaning colder at night, so do bring additional layers and blankets. Also Dartmoor is a micro climate where weather can be changeable so pack for varied different weather conditions.



"Can we just turn up without booking?"



No. Please contact us before arrival.



"Can I bring dogs?"



Dogs are welcome at the campsite but must always be on a lead. We can advise on best places to go locally to let your dog off the lead to explore.

  • Take with you clothing for all types of weather, as weather can change very quickly when on the Moor.
  • Take bottled water. Do not drink from rivers or streams.

  • Wear good walking boots or sturdy shoes if planning longer distances.
  • Bikes are only permitted on designated cycling trails.
  • Dogs are permitted on Dartmoor but must be on a lead at all times.
  • When walking on Dartmoor, tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.

Vehicle sizes for site access



WE ACCEPT TENTS, TRAILER TENTS, CAMPER VANS, BUT
DO NOT ALLOW CARAVANS OR LARGE MOTORHOMES.



Harford Bunkhouse camping site is found 1 mile up (upper) Harford Road, which is a county lane with narrow points which are a problem for caravans and coaches due to width. Making these unsuitable for the road. Minibuses / vehicles Luton Van in size are ok on this road, as well as cars towing small to midsize trailers.


GROUPS TRAVELLING BY COACH

For groups travelling to our site by coach we recommend being dropped and collected at the top of Cole Lane near the bus stop and making your way, approximately 1-mile to us on foot.



"Can we extend our stay if the weather is good?"



Yes, please speak to us and we will be happy to help!




"We have large tent, will that make a difference in price?"



No, prices are charged per person per night. Awnings , pup tents and gazebos are included when erected with your pitch area. The only consideration is not to put up a tent within 4 metres of a neighbour. .




"Are you allowed BBQ’s?"



BBQs and disposable BBQs can be used by your tent or Pod, but must be off the ground.
