Does anybody have any recommendations for a good campsite in the Ivybridge area?

Showers, toilets and reasonable rates would be great!

Not so many Campsites in that area as far as I know

There is one at Wrangaton, but it's more for caravans I think.

There is this at Diptford

but I don't know if they have showers or not - it's a nice village- quiet but no pub and 5 miles from the moor...

Or go more towards Buckfastleigh one way this one looks nice when I drive by it or some towards Modbury the other direction...

There is farm camping at Holne village - pub there and Scorriton 1 mile away, very near the moor.

Same as Mole I'm afraid- not seen many around Ivybridge- but can recommend <a href="mailto:enquiry@harfordbridge.co.uk" title="enquiry@harfordbridge.co.uk">http://www.harfordbridge.co.uk/</a>which is outside Tavistock- Mary Tavy- very close to the Moor and rather civilised.

Otherwise more basic sites such as:

http://www.runnagecampingbarns.co.uk/ which is close to Postbridge and Cockingford Farm Campsite which is close to Widecombe-in-the-Moor..

Cheers

Hi guys, thanks for all the replies!

Just to wrap the thread up, and to aid anybody else if they are searching for this subject in future:

Stayed at the Beara Farm site in Buckfastleigh. It was like a cheaper, nicer, better equipped version of the Vaynol campsite. Andalot of Netherlanders!

I phoned up the Harford Bridge one... for a 'basic' pitch, for two tents, for one night: £31.82!!!!

Nice one - how much was Beara Farm then?

Harford bridge are having a laugh surely - we had 4 days in cornwall at a great site - 22.50 a night for 5 of us, - 2 cars, 2 tents - one 2 man + one 6 man
