If you don’t fancy travelling abroad, and cant stand the thought of the stress that getting to the airport puts on a family a staycation could be for you. As places in the UK go, Devon is definitely on our must-visit list! Much like everyone else, we haven’t had as many weekends away this year as we would like and have promised ourselves that 2022 will change that.
We’d love to visit Devon and so are currently in the midst of looking at some of the best campsites South Devon offers and trying to decide where we would like to book.
Decide What You Need
Currently, when it comes to looking at the best campsites South Devon offers, we’re looking for campsites that offer caravans for hire on their site. However, we’ve also promised ourselves that we’ll buy our own very own caravan in the next couple of years, so it’s interesting to see what sort of camping experience we can have in the campsites South Devon and the surrounding areas has to offer!! I
f you have ever bought your own caravan then we’d love some tips – we’re currently looking at some of the Bailey of Bristol 360 virtual caravan tours which have been super helpful for browsing what caravans are on offer without needing to visit a physical showroom. In fact, their website in general with their up to date news section and lots of buying advice has been super useful. Taking a trip with people who can share the driving is often a good idea too!
Campsites South Devon – Where Do You Want Your Campsite To Be?
One of the things we’re having a tough time deciding is exactly where we want to be. We know that we want it to be within the Devon countryside and that we want to be near some natural beauty, but other than that there are some amazing places to visit in South Devon and currently we want to try and visit them all! Some of the places that we would really like to visit while we’re there include:
- Stover Country Park
- Dawlish Warren Beach
- Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary
- National Marine Aquariam
- Dartmoor National Park
Of course, as South Devon is considered an Area of Outsanding Natural Beauty we can’t visit there without walking some of the coastal paths, checking out the beaches and taking in all of the beauty this part of the world has to offer. Now can you see why we’re taking such time to book the right campsite and ensure that we’re able to do as much of our list as possible?
Do Your Research
Much like any holiday, do your research and see what other people have said about anywhere that you want to visit. There are so many great family-run, family-friendly campsites in South Devon that finding one shouldn’t be too tough! We have a shortlist of places we’d like to book at and are spending some time reading reviews, checking their social media and browsing their website to make sure they offer everything that we need – and that they have a good reputation.
If you have any tips for family-friendly places to visit within South Devon let us know!
