Hear first about Point Field camping, mindfulness retreats & nature events at The Sharpham Trust
The Sharpham Trust runs a low-key campsite in nearby Point Field where tents sit a few metres from the river. Seals sometimes wallow in the brackish water and curlews scour muddy banks.
- Our campsite mentioned in The Guardian
Point Field is The Sharpham Trust's campsite bordering the River Dart - although it's not the easiest place to get to by road (better by canoe).
It's spartan but in a spectacular setting, suiting those who like their camping wild & natural!

Camping at Point Field
The site available for camping at Sharpham is Point Field, (Ashprington Point), with room to pitch up to 10-12 small tents.
There is a slight slope on which you can pitch more tents (although be aware that close to the water's edge may be prone to flooding - check the tides before pitching there).
Facilities are limited and the site is suited to people who like their camping on the wilder side. There is however running water and two compost toilets and an option to have a fire.
Please not that access to the site by vehicles is not straightforward. The lane to the campsite is not a surfaced road, but should be accessible by car when dry and with care and at your own risk.
The site borders the River Dart and is great for a stopover while on a canoeing trip.
Covid 19 - keeping you safe
1. The Government has relaxed restrictions but continues to recommend caution.
2. Groups at Point Field are limited to 30 people maximum.
