Dartmoor offers a right to roam for backpack campers — this popular pull-in on the open moor is one of the finest overnights in the South West. Wild ponies may visit at dawn.
Completely free. No facilities whatsoever. Exposed in wind — peg down awnings carefully. Check firing times on the MOD website before visiting.

Ponies at the window in the morning. Classic Dartmoor experience.

Windy but stunning. Check firing times — we nearly got caught out.
