If scenery alone is not
enough for you then Dartmoor caters for a variety of adrenalin fuelled
activities from rock climbing to white water rafting and kayaking,
mountain biking and horse riding. There are lots of fun kids
alternatives such as the Dartmoor adventure and activity centres
scattered across Dartmoor just waiting to be discovered add to the
Dartmoor railways and there old steam trains, farm activity centres and
Becky falls and you have a great holiday in the making. Older children
may not be immediately thrilled about the prospect of caravan travel
but you can extol the virtues of the countryside. Highlight their
relative independence on the camp site and perhaps head to a site with
lots of youth facilities and adventurous activities so that they do not
have time to mourn the loss of TV and video games.
All this with
fresh air and exercise in abundance and a safe environment and a great
place for kids to make new friends. Young children in particular are
probably more likely to enjoy a Dartmoor holiday in this country than
abroad for a number of reasons. But getting lots of fresh air and
exercise, running around in a safe environment with dozens of other
kids and accessing some of the freedom that we had when we were young.
These are things that make parents and kids smile alike!
However
you like to be entertained caravanning has something to offer you and
your kids. Camping and Caravanning have been re-invented, it is now
modern, relaxing and really simple to arrange!

outdoor life you seek then Dartmoor with its changeable climate and far
reaching unspoilt views could be for you. With beautiful Dartmoor
villages to visit and Pubs and Restaurants to refresh you after long
hikes to the top of The Tors.There are different levels of camping
which can be explored from the four star full amenity organised sites
to backpacking and sleeping wild on Dartmoor which is a tremendous
experience under clear skies. Camping for one or two nights on the open
land on Dartmoor is perfectly acceptable provided that you choose your
spot sensibly and don't pitch your tent on farmland, on moorland
enclosed by walls, within 100 metres of a road, on flood plains or on
archaeological sites.
