Hideaway Camping at Higher Melbury

Hideaway Camping is a beautiful, secluded campsite in rural Devon, on the edge of Dartmoor. Nestled snuggly within 24 acres of tranquil countryside, Hideaway is close to the charming market towns of Okehampton and Tavistock and within easy reach of the seaside resort of Bude. Hideaway Camping offers an eclectic mix of camping and glamping opportunities to suit all tastes. Whether you prefer back to basics and pitching your own tent or glamping in a Gypsy caravan, Shepherds hut, Airstream or Igloo, its all here!

Time spent at Hideaway will bring you babbling brooks and magical woodlands, spacious fields and peaceful walks, swinging hammocks and picnic areas, crackling campfires and starry nights. All of this without even leaving the campsite!

Staying at Hideaway offers just what the name promises. The perfect place to let yourself relax, unwind, connect with nature and feel refreshed and revived!

Little Melbury cabin is our communal space which includes 3 showers and 2 flushing loos. 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). We hope you will come and see for yourselves.
