Camping Pods Devon

Camping has come a long way from flimsy tents and communal washing up areas. These days camping means comfort and tranquillity. A far cry from blow-up mattresses that deflate or hammering in tent pegs in the pouring rain. The beautiful county of Devon has some of the best camping spots in the UK and stunning scenery with a bounty of activities for families with children of all ages. From cycling to astronomy, coastal paths and surfing, Devon has it all. Let’s take a look at what you and your family can get up to when holidaying in Devon.

• Countryside and caves: Devon boasts some of the most stunning and varied countrysides in the UK. Think green and rolling hills, dramatic moorland and underground caves. If you and your family love the great outdoors then you will love Devon which is home to not one but two National Parks: Dartmoor and Exmoor. Your children will be enchanted by a glimpse of the wild ponies that live on Exmoor and astounded by the Bronze Age and Neolithic monuments that pepper Dartmoor. For more inquisitive children and teens alike, the prehistoric caves at Kents Cavern feature some of the best-preserved Stone Age sites, with 400 million year old stalactites.
• Cycling and star gazing: Get on your bikes with Devon’s fabulous cycling routes, with levels and lengths for all ages and abilities. Haldon forest park has themed cycle routes, with purpose-built trails for younger legs, and the Ridge Ride Trail for older and more daring cyclists. With steep slopes and fast corners, this day out is sure to get the blood pumping. For any budding astronomers, Dartmoor is a Dark Sky Reserve, meaning it is wonderfully free of light pollution. Go there on a clear night and marvel at the Milky Way.
• Beaches, coves and windswept bays: With two coastlines in Devon, one to the north and another to the south, you’ll be spoilt for choice for beaches. Devon has some of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches in the UK. Sandy beaches for family sandcastle building competitions and countless rock pools to explore and discover mini marine life. You can even bring the furry member of your family, with lots of beaches in Devon being dog-friendly. There are pebbled coves and wide open bays, perfect for families who want to try their hand at water sports. Who in the family will stand up on that surfboard first?
