Beara Farm Camping Site is a proper back-to-basics riverside campsite on the southern edge of Dartmoor, a short drive from Buckfastleigh in South Devon. Pitches spread across a level, sheltered meadow beside the River Dart, where campers can paddle, swim or simply sit by the water. The site takes tents, caravans, motorhomes and smaller campervans across around 30 pitches, but there are no electric hook-ups, so it suits self-sufficient campers rather than anyone needing mains power or a laundrette. Facilities are deliberately simple: clean toilets, a shower, a washing-up sink and a tap fed by a natural spring. Dogs are welcome, and the relaxed field is popular with families. The owner comes round each morning to collect the pitch fee, which is charged per person rather than per pitch, part of the low-key charm that keeps people coming back to Beara Farm. Buckfastleigh sits close by for shops, while Buckfast Abbey, the South Devon Railway and the walking and open moorland of Dartmoor are all within easy reach. It is a fair-weather favourite for a simple Devon camping trip, so pack for off-grid comfort and bring your own power.
