Last night I was in Sweet Meadows camping. It's the site that inspired the Tiny Campsite book and is lovely if a bit run down. The owners are charmingly eccentric.

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

I really like it as the porch is so big :)

Dartmoor is quite a big place, I would be interested to know where sweet meadows is?

Years ago we used to camp at Hexworthy which is about 3-4 miles east of Princetown just a field no facilities at all bar swimming in the river.
