There is a shared kitchen with a microwave and fridge, pots and pans , and basic cooking utensils. On wet days You can chill out on the sofa, browse through our selection of books, enjoy a board game and gather information on the local area and tourist attractions. There's a kids' corner with books, toys and puzzles etc, and a decking area outside with chairs and a great view. There are four of us here at Hideaway Camping: Amy, Jenny, Polly and Eddy. We moved from London in 2013 with our children, to escape the rat race and build a new (more peaceful) life. Our vision was, and still is today, to create a beautiful, unique campsite/retreat where people can relax and unwind, soak up the tranquil setting, breathe in the country air, wander in the woods and gaze at the stars. Alongside the camping, we will also have on offer a range of complementary therapies and will be offering Art and Craft workshops in the near future. We are situated at the end of a half-mile private track, seven miles from the town of Okehampton on the edge of Dartmoor - a perfect base to explore the beauty of Devon (see local attractions page).
