Luxury Caravan Site on Dartmoor Now Available for £2.5 Million Pounds
Langstone Manor Caravan & Camping Park Up for Sale
The picturesque Langstone Manor Caravan & Camping Park, nestled in the quiet hamlet of Moortown within Dartmoor National Park, has been listed for sale at £2.5 million [1][3][5]. Operated by the same family for the past 25 years, the park is now up for grabs as the owners are retiring.
This well-established leisure business caters to caravanners, campers, and glamping guests, offering a variety of accommodations spread over just under five acres. The park currently boasts 18 glamping pods, with plans for nine additional 'Mega pods' [2].
The property, while not listed, retains period Victorian features, adding a historic charm to its hospitality offerings [1]. The main house, believed to have been built around 1870, houses a bar, restaurant, conservatory, games room, and kitchen on the ground floor, with two flats above [4]. Two three-bedroom holiday cottages, converted from former stables in the 1980s, provide further guest accommodation.
The park's facilities also include a reception building completed in 2012 and upgraded shower blocks from 2010 [1][3]. The business currently trades on a seasonal basis, supported by two couples working as live-in wardens and two cleaners [4].
Langstone Manor has consistently been rated as one of the best caravan sites in the UK, with its latest accolade being the title of the best caravan park in Devon in the 2023 Guide [6]. It is just a few miles from the popular town of Tavistock [3].
The park offers easy access to both the north and south Devon coasts, making it an ideal location for those seeking a tourism business in a prime location. Interested buyers are advised to reach out to the listed selling agent or real estate agent handling the sale, which can be found on platforms specializing in UK caravan parks or commercial leisure properties [1].
In a separate development, Trewan Hall in Cornwall, another highly-rated campsite, has been put up for sale for £3.5m [7]. The 36-acre site, which has also appeared in a previous Top 100 guide, is only nine miles from Newquay.
Meanwhile, Joanna Davies, a Staff Writer for Practical Motorhome and our website, has been exploring the world of camping in a unique way. Last year, she converted a 2009 Renault Grand Scenic into a micro-camper, taking her to Shropshire, the Peak District, and beyond [8]. Her role involves writing travel features, campsite round-ups, and sourcing gear recommendations.
