Hideaway Camping

In 2013, the owners of Hideaway Camping upped sticks and left London to escape the chaos of city life in favour of something a little slower and a little more peaceful. At the family-friendly site they set up 15 minutes’ drive from Northlew village in Devon, they want to give their guests a taste of that escape: come here to hide away... You can start this right on site by signing up for the likes of reflexology, reiki, massage and shamanic healing, before getting out for strolls to really soothe your work-addled spirit. The site is about half an hour from the edge of Dartmoor National Park, so walking, hiking, biking and riding trails are all nearby, including the Granite Way cycle path, National Route 27 and the Tarka Trail. Put your feet up back on site and bask in the peace and quiet, dozing gently over a book or board game in front of the Little Melbury communal cabin logburning stove; if you want to explore instead, there are trails to wander along leafy banks. Feeling peckish? Nab supplies in Okehampton, 15 minutes away, to prep in the Little Melbury kitchen or over a barbecue. Then pass the evening next to the campfire making the most of any clear skies for a bit of stargazing... then hide away to get ready for doing the lot all over again the next day.
